Reply #13: I would correct the last statement - 'progressive' hasn't become a dirty word [View All]

except in the delusional minds of conservatives. But they aren't going to win that one. They beat on the word liberal for a long time and liberals failed to stand up against it when that crap could have been quashed. But 'progressive' won't have the same fate because, frankly, enough liberals/progressives are sick of the same old shit conservatives keep pulling. Being progressive is a damn good thing, so is community organizing, so is civil service, so is being a constitutional scholar, and so is being a liberal. We don't need to act like conservatives and lie to prove our point. No, we have history behind us. And thank god liberals and progressives are speaking up about it and not letting conservative lies stand unchallenged.

But great on Pap and Chauncey DeVega. Glad they are pointing out the elephant in the room.
