Seriously!

All this take from the left liberal media about regression and we are about progress.

Progress to what? More legislation and more control of some aspect of life?

Sure some legislation is needed for our safety, but to just down right try to control a behavior with regulation and taxes, is blatant tyranny.

Bit of hyperbole there? I suspect you haven't actually lived in a real tyranny.

Don't plan on it either.

That is why you will see a change to a smaller government as time passes.

Conservatives understand, every piece of legislation that rolls down hill, is just another piece the government wants to control.
Governmental power, is legislation.

Progress....on the road to Socialism,

the agenda of "progressives," liberals, leftists, radicals, and many Dems.



Conservatives believe in Equality of Opportunity.

Liberals believe in Equality of Outcome.
