A Progressive is a person who loathes the Constitution, despises the Bill of Rights, and would not vote for a candidate who declared his faith in the fundamental principles of our Government.

Something into which progressives can sink their teeth.

Yes, they attempt to wear one down with stupidity and the repetition. They repeat the same rhetoric over and over again...kind of like Chinese water torture. If you respond to them, they respond back as if you had not debunked their asinine comments. They are so "indoctrinated" by the fringe lunatics that they throw the term around as if this has not been perpetrated on them. You can put them on your "ignore" list so as not to be tempted to respond their uninformed nonsense. They are like mosquitos.

I wonder which one is really scary.
Or the fact that congress and the president and even the last congress and president use fear, lies and propoganda to get you to agree to anything. They dont manage wars, the budget, bailout everyone, spend and spend and dont read the bills they pass. hmmm that is scary.

I do notice that Beck points that out often to American people and Big government idiots and authority junkies have a hard time with understanding republicans and democrats have destroyed this country.
Liberals and Bush NeoCons.

There have certainly been problems on both ends of the spectrum, but the Glenn Beck and fox "news" crowd has went comepletely off of the deep end and it is impossible to have a rational conversation with such people.

As a political writer, I have to deal with these people and respond to them on a professional level, so when it comes to my personal life I certainly have no problem bannishing them to iggyland. I prefer to spend my down time engaging in genuine conversations that are fruitful and for the betterment of myself and others.

I have also learned that just because someone doesn't agree with me doesn't mean that they are my enemy (with a few notable exceptions). It just means that they have a different vision for the country.

Who would voluntarily miss out on all of that?
Those who consider themselves 'The Anointed.'
