Yawn.
Way to paraphrase just about every blog post from a wingnut blabbering about "cultural Marxism" ever. Was that intended to be a mic drop moment?
"down to eugenics like Wilson was"
Lmao. Shocking! Do you know what a non sequitur is you psuedointellectual parrot?
It's obvious that you have no real grasp of wtf you are talking about when you say s# like "brought into the US political arena by Wilson." Wilson didn't enter politics until what? 1910? That's 2/3 of the way through the Progressive Era of US politics, you dummy. Before the Nazis there were a lot of proponents of eugenics. After the Nazis? Not so much. This shouldn't come as a revelation to anyone with a high school education.
And you clearly have a misconception of progressivism as a sort of dogmatic ideology. Progressivism is in many ways the un-ideology and almost more of a methodology. What ties together all the threads of progressive thought is a belief in progress. That human society is evolving and that we can intervene, putting to use are vast human knowledge to improve the human condition. Typically, this is expressed in various progressive strains through the use of the government as a vehicle for social, political and economic change.
There are in fact right-wing progressives. This is how one of the bloggers you read might define a neocon as opposed to say a paleocon. I even would go so far as to say most Americans are in fact progressive to some degree or another. How well do you think Trump would have done if he ran on a promise to do away with Social Security and the 40 hour work week?
You keep posting drivel you read somewhere and trying to pretend like you know something. I'll keep ridiculing you, clown.
I love progressives like yourself because you are so predictable. Nothing new is coming from you.
As will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man-
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began-
That the Dog returns to its Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire.
Thank you for your incoherent rambling post on what Progessivism is. I'm taking my definition of it from the people that started it. Your interpretation of it means nothing. Trying to belittle me for pointing out what it actually means while failing to understand what it actually means puts a smile on my face as well. It just means that you are going to continue to fail to sell your political idealism to anyone but the most feeble minded. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that means a big portion of the Democratic party. But at the end of the day, I agree with your thoughts on them. They don't really matter.. You don't either. Just a means to an end, right?
Well I mean you are purposefully sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling that what was progressive in the past was is still the same today even if you know its not.

Progressives now are exactly the same as progressives in the past. Same end game... complete governmental control of a person from cradle to grave by scientists that make sure that the worker is always in top form and motivated.
Same as a hive of bees. I have 7 hives of bees, btw. I understand the concept.
All you need to do is lose your individuality for the collective.
I'd rather die than live that way. I say that as a combat vet.
You crave to live that way. I find that horrifying.
We'll see who wins. I'm betting the hive doesn't.

Being a man with normal sized hands, I eat my steak rare. Donald Trump on the other tiny hand, might as well be a vegan since he's crunching down dryly on tasteless charcoal briquettes anyway and wasting good beef.
Huh? DWS resigned along with a few of her closest people. Brazile got canned from CNN and took herself out of the running for DNC chair. She'll be out in a month-month and a half and looking for a job on MSNBC.
I can show you a thousand times that Hillary Clinton lied directly to the face of her loving flock and you won't bat an eyelash.

Is Hillary Clinton a liar? She's definitely told some lies. Does she lie for political gain? I would assume so. Is she a bigger liar than Donald Trump though? I don't think so. I'll be voting for Bernie in the primary but either way, I'll be voting against Trump in the general election.

Trump's not a "dirty liar?" lol. The only way he can cut back on his compulsive lying is to have somebody else tell him what to say and put it on a teleprompter.
Not that Clinton isn't a liar too but you don't see a lot of people pretending otherwise, even among her supporters. That sort of willful ignorance is in my opinion far more prevalent among the Trumpeteers.

6. Donald Trump actually lies with greater frequency than Hillary and that's quite an accomplishment. I honestly believe he can't stop himself from lying. He lies about EVERYTHING, even things that don't matter — things that nobody who wasn't a pathological liar would lie about. Hillary lies to cover up her ineptitude, shadiness, etc — whatever is politically expedient. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I believe he is a pathological liar in the clinical sense. I do not believe he can control himself. That's not a good look. Slight advantage Clinton which would be preposterous in nearly any other circumstance.

I don't know that he's less polished — he's just got a different technique. Clinton approaches her lying like a lawyer and she's all about mincing words. Trump is more brazen. He just lies and then if he's called out on it, he piles on more lies and then accuses the people who call him out of being losers, incompetent, liars, unfair, part of the establishment's plot against him, etc.
3. Absolutely true. Any decent hacker, especially a government funded entity would never leave a trace that they were there. The good hackers are the ones you never hear about. They do not brag.
I do not care for Donald Trump. Not today, and not tomorrow. I do not trust him...but I do trust that the government will keep him in check. Donald Trump will be the most closely watched President and that is a very good thing.
So yeah.. you are all butt hurt because Hillary lost the election and you continue to make a fool of your self by repeatedly posting Trump threads. At least I have one benefit out of all of this.....Hillary Clinton lost the election. Nothing you continue to post will ever change that.
If the same had been revealed about a Republican, there would have been front page headlines in the NYT announcing that the candidate had been given the questions for the debate.

What exactly are you trying to say exactly? That the Civil Rights Act of 1964 should not have been passed?
Which do you care more about?

I care more about the truth than who showed us the truth, considering that the actors that you are blaming may just be a manufactured boogeyman.
