The Progressive Mind and the False Right- Left Paradigm.

By that definition you are calling the founding fathers progressives, they advocated a maliable government so much
they created the ability for us to change our government and things around us with the government, with our vote
being our stake in the whole thing.

Tell me Blaine, how do you create change or reform with inaction???

Lets discuss this, answer a couple questions since this is your thread, please

NAME ONE LARGE REFORM TO OUR SOCIETY IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS THAT DIDN'T INVOLVE GOVERNMENT or GOVERNANCE? HOW ABOUT TEN YEARS?

NAME ONE MODERN POLITICIAN WHO DOES NOT USED GOVERNMENT TO EFFECT REFORM OR CHANGE?

you are setting the pace here, answer me and we can dig deeper

I am not sure what you are for, because your entire definition seems to be against citizens governing themselves.

edit on 19-1-2011 by Janky Red because: (no reason given)

The founding fathers created a new government. They did not use the institution of government as tool to force the will of a few powerful institutions onto the majority of the people.

Name one large reform in government in the last ten years?

Name one politician who has caused any meaningful changes?

It comes down to whether you believe that government has ever, or will ever be used to benefit the majority of people.
