Is progressivism what's wrong with America in 2012?

no

Yes and they are in both parties.

I said NO and I do think YES but it just isn't that simple. When lefties like Pelosi says things like just pass the bill so we can see what is in it. These statments make you think that she is not qualified to be Speaker of the House (she was at the time). She and many many others on the left have made similar and stupid statements. Then we have the Harry Reids of the world (Senate leader) who refuses to submit a budget nor will he allow any Republican bill to be voted on. After that scary scenario he then blames Republicans for being a NO (negative) right wing loony group. I might add that there are many good democrats and you just can't label all with one stroke of the brush.

Progressivism and communism are the same thing.

FOR YOU, DEAR FRIEND!

Hell yes.

For YOU, FRIEND!

It's HALF of what's wrong. Don't forget the GOP's Authoritarianism dressed up as 'patriotism'. If individuals can do it, govt shouldn't. If it's not in the Constitution, govt shouldn't do it anyway.

The dumbed down sheeple are the problem!

There you go again calling the Democrats those naughty names.

You are so right but it is fun.

Example of a progressive: I have the right to kill my own child. We need to exterminate a few million people based on the overpopulation theory. We need to use human babies as test subjects/stem cells to cure Cancer.

Seems to me that their progress is more about killing than anything else!

Here's a dictionary definition of "progressive:" A person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties.

So, if you AREN'T a Progressive," I guess you don't favor progress, reform, OR protecting civil liberties. That would make YOU VERY Un-American.

Socialism and communism and fascism is nothing progressive. They are not new ideas. The are proven as failures. They also are proven to be deadly.

YOU'RE RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! I LOVE/RAVE YA! For YOU, DEAR FRIEND!

But those who use the term "progressive" to self-identify want none of those things. They want to control you through "redistribution" of wealth and other dastardly government "solutions", which amount to nothing more than thuggery.

That's what YOU say, not what THEY say.

So? I say I'm a watermelon. Does that make me a watermelon? Nope. ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS and their ACTIONS show that progressives are anything but the dictionary definition of progressive.

Poof, you're a watermelon.

Good one!

So a conservative is un-American? A libertarian is un-American? Progressives as we know them today do not fit the definition you give them. They are NOT making progress with reform -- read my answer again regarding human life.

Not my fault the definition is what it is. Shoot your dictionary.

The definition is fine... it's the people that call themselves progressives that are not!

Bingo, Ron!

Therefore dumping all Progressives into one barrel is inaccurate. As is dumping all Tea Partiers into one barrel based on the extreme views of some.

Imo media plays to extremists because that stirs up controversy, and we all know controversy sells.

THEY SAY ONE THING AND DO THE OPPOSITE, THAT'S THE

PROGRESSIVE. I RAN AWAY FROM ONE. THANKS, BUT NO THANKS!

For YOU, FRIEND!
