Who cannot wait for progressive Liberal change in America?

Question

Koal: you sure read more into my question than is real. How nice of you to hastily denigrate liberals based on your ideology of what liberals stand for. You know socialism is not what liberals are struggling for. Shame on you, you propagandist!

Brian:
I am a political science major. While your argument makes academic sense, the political climate is much different today, which is why we do not follow classical liberalism today!

Harry: Hopefully it happens much sooner. Our country needs it.

Bush: Wow. And the drumbeat from the right is that liberals have their head in the clouds! Are you SURE you aren't a liberal?

Old: *sigh* Old, old old. You actually seem to have a pretty decent grasp of the terminology. With the exception of progressive. Rather than rely on what marxist and socialist leaders considered progressive, let me share with you how it is applied today. American Heritage dictionary defines progressive as "Moving forward; advancing". This is the definition associated with libs today, not your archaic version. Chewing on paint chips. How mature and relevant. I do not tolerate bullies, old. Your insistance on denegration holds no water with me, son. Today's progressives are simply anti-status quo. We are fed up with the current 'leadership' and how they give the big finger to our liberties!

Brian: I am currently a political science major. Classical liberalism hinges around the idea that freedom is associated with land ownership. Beyond that, the ideal is fragmented into many different theories. Basically, new liberalism is comprised around the idea that liberty is not associated with land ownership, since private land ownership disproportionately sides with the wealthy, therefore does not represent the whole of society. It then fragments as well into many different theories. Please do not try to school me on the subject.

Answer 1

I am ready for America to return to the mainstream of progressive social development begun by Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR and JFK. We have dug in to a willfully backward position these last 27 years that tries to forget or set aside the progressive reforms that gave us an end to slavery, child labor, gave us shorter work weeks, a good retirement plan and greater prosperity. Progressivism didn't used to be the sole province of the Democrats, as the presidents I name show. GOP AND Democrats were capable of progressive thought. Then, the GOP crawled into the hip pocket of big business, where it has wanted to be ever since. Sad. Very sad.

Answer 2

Progressive, that's what Marx and Engles coined, it means those working towards a communist utopia.
Liberal, root word Liberty, meaning freedom of the individual and a free market.
Those two words, Progressive and Liberal are so opposite, they don't go together.
I get the impression that you like to chew on paint chips. What you are really supporting is a Socialist government where the leaders tell you what to think and do. Thats so easy
to do, you don't have to think for yourself. You do know that with such control, you lose opportunity.

Answer 3

Those with short attention spans. You may want to go back to your "History of the USA Since 1960" textbook and review the part about liberal goals for America. Most people predict that there will be another attempt at a liberal progressive overthrow of the government in about 50 years.

Answer 4

I can't wait for liberals to wake up and realize they're really closet socialists and that Libertarians are the real liberals in the classical sense.

Edit in response: Classical liberalism is an ideology. If you understand political science you'll know that ideologies don't fade with changes of issues. It's what the difference between a stance and a belief is. As I said before, Classical liberalism is alive and well today in the form of Libertarianism and Minarchism.

Answer 5

I am glad it will never happen.

Brian R is right. Modern liberals are collectivists and they have nothing in common with the founders of this country who were classical liberalists (also called individualists).

The only reason why you are using a computer right now is because of the founding fathers. Computer chips and personal computers would have never been invented if America was a socialist country. America has the most patents in the world and it is because of this country's founding fathers.

Capitalism creates an environment that promotes innovation while socialism creates an environment that hampers innovation.

China, Russia, and other socialist countries are forced to spy on U.S. companies (including defense contractors) because they are incapable of developing their own inventions. Canada kicked out nearly 1,000 communist Chinese spies in the last couple of years and China has around 35,000 spies in the U.S..

Answer 6

to handle the respond from risky Mr, i might such as you to take a nearer look finally years primary vote outcomes in the presidential election till now suggesting united statesa. is everywhere on the brink of "ingenious liberal". we are extremely actually chop up down the midsection good now. In answer to the askers question we could consistently ask ourselves what's united statesa.? to a pair it would desire to represent freedom. To others it would desire to represent peace. to a pair it is even a monument to extravagance. so which you're able to ask your self what's united statesa. besides? till you may now say you're turning something into something it is not, you may desire to be attentive to what you have in the 1st place.

Answer 7

I think it will be a good change. Right now the dollars is decreasing, our health care sucks, and the whole world hates us. It can only get better, right?

Answer 8

I can...Y'know what? A Democrat President means more war. Just look at the history books...I think the best thing that could happen right now is that a far superior alien race invades our planet and takes over from the muppets who are currently in charge. Aliens have my vote...

Answer 9

progressive liberal change is a total oxymoron...there simply is no such thing. all socialist states eventually fail as russia did and liberals simply cant and wont understand that the bill eventually comes due for failed welfare schemes and the middle class usually pays for it. i can certainly wait...IT SIMPLY ISNT WORTH IT.

Answer 10

I can wait. Forever hopefully! Socialism will not work here no matter what name it is under!
