Progressives - Back to the Present

Progressivism had, in America, it's "HAY DAY'S" in the early part of the twentieth century, particulary during the years 1900-19014. Much like today, socialism was/is the precurser to Progressivism. Also, like today, the Democrats will, whenever a word or term comes into disfavor, give the same movement, goal, or abition a different name in order to, I guess, dupe the public at large. But make no mistake, the goals have remained the same: The goals of progressivism, like sociaism, has for over the past hundred and some years, remained the same. Their goal being to increase and extend government power into fields where it had previously exerted little or no influence. In his book Basic American Government, by Clarence B. Carson he writes, in part: "...Progreessivism, as a Political Ideology, fused together three powerful ideas. (First) It carried with it the blief that progress could be consiously by the use of government power. Thus it linked together the idea of progress with government instituted reforms. Second, it linked democracy--popular government... with equality...the power of government under democratic control to make people equal. Third, these ideas were linked to government to nationalism and to the expansion of the role of central government. Socialist/Progressivism are, in fact, the same. In short, they are just using another deceptive term, used to decieve the uneducated and uninformed, now prevelent throughout our citizenship. Today, Obama was elected because he promised CHANGE! Nut's, he is a progressive socialist and he intends to continue traveling the same road that the Democrats started down in the latter part of the nineteenth century and is soon to be under the leadership of Obama, to make progress in order to achieve the intended and true objective of the Socialist Democratic Party, now trying to travel, incognito, as the Progressive Democractic Party. Only the name has been changed, the goals remain the same: The Destruction of our FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM. and the REPUBLIC FOR WHICH WE STAND! PROGRESS; "I hope to 'stand firm' enough to not go backward, and yet not go foerward fast enough to wreck the country's cause." Attributed to Aberham Lincoln The Messenger.
