In reply to the discussion: Please DON'T CALL Hillary A Progressive [View all]NonMetro
(631 posts)So, she supports the death penalty, "progressives" support the death penalty. Now, if people want to call themselves "progressives" and they don't support the death penalty, but they do support her, then it's up to them to explain themselves. When they pull the lever for her in the voting booth, why are they doing that if they don't support the death penalty?
Your point about Limbaugh demonizing the word "liberal" is spot on! I recall that very well. People started calling themselves "progressive" because they were ashamed to identify as liberal among their friends. What people should have done is remember what JFK said, because liberals have absolutely everything to be proud of in our accomplishments in this country. Conservatives, OTOH, and I'm sure everyone reading this knows this as well as I do, have never done one damn thing to help the people of this country. Not one! And all conservatives have ever done, as they continue to do today, is obstruct and stand in the way of every liberal proposal to benefit the people of this country!
