What's the difference between a progressive and a socialist?
answer: A coin toss.
Hilary is a liberal, not a progressive.
There's nothing particularly liberal about Hillary. She is much more a "ram it down your throat" progressive, and as Race pointed out, an opportunist.
Exactly. I love how the central planner/nanny state/authoritarian bunch has co-opted the word "liberal" to make themselves sound so open and non-threatening. And as we've all learned, if you say something enough times, especially to the brain-dead public, it becomes the de-facto truth. Hillary Clinton is as liberal as puppy is politically correct.
Thomas Jefferson was a fucking liberal.
Kinda like the GOP co-opting the term conservative to make themselves appear rational.
What's with the labels, man?
A history major should know that being a conservative was anything but considered rational until Ronald Raygun made it respectable. From that point every Republican calls themselves a conservative, including the ones you hob nob with at the Country Club.
The schism today in the GOP is because of the GOPers that still think conservatives are not rational
Goldwater made his stand on less government and state's rights at the same time LBJ was pushing civil rights and state's rights were a code word for keeping Jim Crow. Hence, conservatives are racist, still the playbook after all these years.

Agreed. Crazy irrational bible thumpers have ruined true conservatism.

I don't have a problem with this statement
Except for the fact that the Establishment RNC went out and intentionally recruited Ralph Reed in the 80's. Now, these are the guys who didn't vote in the last several elections.

Just sayin'.
Reagan needed the evangelicals no question
But if you don't vote then you don't count
If the religious right didn't think Lucas McCain or Mitt Romney were better than Obama they get what they didn't vote for
But true conservatism would have you evangelize from the church and keep the government out of social issues and let public policy be based on the greater good. If you're against abortion don't get one and help women find another alternative. Stop wasting time trying to outlaw it. Back alley abortions are not good public policy

I'm a pro-life libertarian and I agree with this message. I'm constantly arguing with people about this. I think drugs should be legalized, along with prostitution, sports gambling, etc. Think about it for a second...we can't bet on a sports game which a well-informed bettor can win 55-60% of his bets, yet mentally ill/borderline mentally ill can flush thousands a year down the drain in the gubermint's lottery they have less chance of winning than if every American's name was put in a fucking hat. I don't necessarily like that abortion is legal but as a libertarian I have to take my medicine and realize it should be left up to the states and dealt with on a local level. Just like marijuana laws, etc. And with that said, guberners and state legislatures should stop being such fucking pussies and start breaking they hymen of the goddamn tenth amendment.

Fundies are against abortion, fine. Dick move, but whatever, be that way. But then they're against contraception as well. Dafuq?
And fuck that kid once it's born, because any WIC program money is a fucking entitlement that THEY won't pay for. And defund the Planned Parenthood that might have educated the parents before they got knocked up to begin with.
All because some zombie sky wizard said so (not really, but they say he wants it that way).
I might be a retired Starcraft pro, but I don't live my life based on the culture of the Zerg swarm hivemind . Much less insist others around me do so as well.
