But he won't get on the republican ticket. Why? Would it be because republicans are only accused of being racists, or because they are racists? I guess those are the two options you work with?

Man, some of you posters are so darn lazy. At least two of you asked what a Neo Prog is, despite the fact hat it was asked and answered that very question in this thread; it's on the first page for crying out loud. Anyway, here it is, yet again:

I explained it once before, but I don't mind repeating again, you asked nicely. The term Neo Con (neoconservative) has been around for a while, so I figured if what's good for the proverbial goose, is good for the gander; i.e if we can have neo cons, why can't we have neo progs? My interpretation of a neo prog, is a modern day, western leftist, sadly the majority of whom have hijacked the democrat party. I will now give you some descriptions of Neo Prog behavior:

A Neo Prog professes tolerance, but is only tolerant towards those that they agree with. Disagree with Obama's policies? A Neo Prog will immediately label you a racist, as evidenced by nearly a dozen daily threads on this very forum.

Don't agree with abortion? A Neo Prog will immediately label you anti-woman.

Believe that marriage is between one man and one woman? A Neo Prog will immediately label you a bigot, homophobe and a hater.

Neo Progs basically believe that it is the governments job to provide for you and that the government, in it's infinite wisdom knows how to run your life better than you do.

Neo Progs believe in the politics of jealousy. They despise the rich and wish to take from them and give it to those that they deem less fortunate. They call it fairness or income redistribution. I call it stealing.

Neo Progs believe in the politics of personal destruction, i.e hate. Anyone with whom the disagree is stupid, bigoted, unenlightened, doesn't believe in science, etc. This tactic was first proscribed by a far left radical Saul Alinsky in his book Rule for Radicals (the Bible for many Neo Progs).

Any way, that's just a brief description of a Neo Prog, hope it helped.

Haha, you're so intellectually lazy. You believe that all black people should act, think and vote alike. That my friend, is the epitome of racist behavior. Perhaps it's time to take a long look in the mirror and do some soul searching.

Well, thanks for Your definition. Good thing to know there are no Neo-progs on this discussion board since I have never seen anyone here that fits your definition.

The Neo Prog propagandists would go crazy trying to spin hate outta that. lol
Great! But his name may as well be Herman McCain....(AKA Repug Sacrificial Lamb)



PS: Repugs portray themselves as racists with racist remarks....they don't need lefties help
