DEFINING progressive

feb 27, 2010

How could anyone be against progress. ?
amazing how some are afraid of progress..............the Talibans are a good example or rather a BAD example.
I can think of a good example...........................the AMISH. Ah i would have to just correct myself and say that the very good AMISH community might actually just be against CHANGE because they are satisfied with the way things are.

and as i write this perhaps the Talibans are also satisfied with what they have got ...............band that is why they do not like CHANGE , but perhaps the word progress just means change for them ??

No I have to change my assumption..................perhaps everybody likes ..... progress , but they do not like CHANGE !

HOW COME ? well i think the talibans use cell phones IED s which are products of progress..................

The PROGRESSIVE concensus

Feb 17, 2010

CONSERVATISM is the opposite of LIBERALISM

but what is the opposite of PROGRESSIVISM ?

the reason I am asking this is that Liberalism is really NOT RELEVANT here any longer .

the movement that is rising after so many years of CONSERVATISM is the PROGRESSIVE movement.

so again what WORD would be the opposite of PROGRESSIVISM ??

the only one that comes to mind is REGRESSIVISM ?
is there such a word.???
there is of course this PHENOMENON of regressiveness.......



The difference between LIBERAL and PROGRESSIVE


while all liberals are progressive, all progressive are not completely liberal.

Liberalism is an attitude that permeates all aspects of life.......political , cultural , personal

BUT when we use the word Progressive , it APPLIES to the POLITICAL arena , and specifically to the ROLE OF GOVERNMENT in society.

the reason I say this is that I have lived a conservative life ........... in dress , in speech , in driving , shopping and spending , behaving etc ....but when it comes to the ROLE of GOV .......and SCIENCE and LEARNING the liberals and progressives

CENTRISM???

feb 15, 2010

People who laud centrism think THE CENTER is on a horizontal line.

Thus really meaning that it is neither left nor right but JUST RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE...............or really a Moderate position.

REAL Centrism does not see it on THE HORIZONTAL LINE

perhaps one day I will want to show you what I mean.

GOP leaders Not the Republicans

feb 15, 2010

IT is most important for me to make it quite clear that when I use the word REPUBLICANS ...................I am wrong.

I always must and have tried to say REPUBLICAN LEADERS or easier The GOP or
the GOP LEADERS.

the PARTY MEMBERs and rank and file may be regular citizens just like you and me.
I should not therefore use the word ....... The Republicans means them but when we say THE GOP or GOP leaders or Republican LEADERS that means those who design the politics and tactics.....etc

















BAYH left...................he made news good for himself probably bad for the DEMS

BAYH did not mention the 7 REPUBLICANS who did not vote for that FISCAL bill in the SENATOR.

GRIDLOCK

Feb 12, 2o1o

way back before the DEMS had won in 2008 , ( although I am not a registered democrat but an unaffuliated independent since 2004) , I hoped that the Democratic party would get a VETO PROOF ( supermajority )..................the REASON was that :

AMERICA has many problems and with a DIVIDED GOVERNMENT ie ( neither Rep or Dem having all 3 branches of the GOV )...................WE WOULD HAVE GRIDLOCK and we could NOT SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS.

SO we got lucky and the DEMS got all 3 branches and a supermajority ..................BUT WHAT I DID NOT KNOW was that the DEMOCRATS are a DIVIDED PARTY.

I did not know then , that the SENATE had some odd rule that would allow ONE SINGLE SENATOR .,.....to become A DICTATOR with the threat of a fillibuster, or otherwise.

AS DANIEL SCHORR of NPR said it so well after LIEBERMANN stopped the expansion of Medicare for 55 year olds..............

THIS IS THE TYRANNY OF THE .....MINORITY !!!!

remember how the right wingers thought DEMOCRACY was the TYRANNY of the MAJORITY ???
i would go further and say that it is really the Dictatorship of the minority or even worse the DICTATORSHIP of ONE SENATOR !!

IMPORTANT NOTE :

since the Democratic party is a so called BIG TENT that comprises moderates right wingers and left wingers .................they are already DIVIDED and we actually have A DIVIDED GOVERNMENT ....................then we do not have to create check and balance by having another party named Republican party which DOES NOT BELIEVE in Government anyway............so there is no place for them in the FEDERAL GOV.

APRIL 9, 2010

i am reading this again and I find that I may not have been very clear.
so I am adding this :

America has problems , these problems need to be solved....ie

AMERICA needs SOLUTIONS..............................so can a PARTY which Believes the GOVERNMENT is the PROBLEM and NOT the SOLUTION even have any RIGHT to want to CAPTURE Government ????

my advice to the GOP.............cool down, let those who believe in GOVERNING do the heavy lifting.

For AMERICA

Feb 12, 2010

How sad I am to see what has happened to AMERICA !

I really feel like crying . there are things that I do not even dare mention let alone write.

AMERICA has ALREADY WON

Feb 5, 2010

I do not remember if I have already written this .....................i should have because it is a real belief
America HAS ALREADY WON over the AL-QAEDA and TALIBAN IDEOLOGIES.
ONLY a handful of people follow them , many because of brainwashing.

and ISLAM itself has to be able to reconcile with the MODERN WORLD otherwise it is totally going to be CULTURALLY INADEQUATE. and incongruous.

I say this with certainty.

AMERICA has won because they have LOST. I see it , and you cannot because you think of VICTORY in another way.

i am trying to find an analogy
As you know the SALK VACCINE has ERRADICATED POLIO.

Now if some people do not use the VACCINE and get POLIO ...............IT DOES NOT MEAN that we have NOT WON over POLIO...........

so it is with the few TERRORISTS who do not realize that they have LOST already.

PS i have checked the post ............titled MARTYRS 1/18/2010

what REALLY happened in MASSACHUSETTS

February 5, 2010

The studies needed in order to find out HOW MANY DEMOCRATS did NOT VOTE because of winter and laziness about a special election etc...
I heard that 800,000 people who had voted for OBAMA did not come out to VOTE this time and only 50,000 DEMS voted for Brown.

I have a feeling that after the numbers are studied..............it will show that WE COULD HAVE WON ..............just like in Virginia DEMS got lazy or mad.

I hope that the DNC works harder at mobilizing people.
