To stupid fucks: we are all progressives. [View All]

[originalpckelly]

We just disagree about where progress should stop.

Should it stop with middle aged white men who are not royals, yet think they should have power?
Or perhaps middle aged white women who think they should have the right to vote, work outside the home, and have opinions of their own?
Or perhaps with conservatives who are under 21, yet think they should have the right to vote?
Or maybe it should stop with black men who think they have the right to take the pay from their work, drink from a regular drinking fountain, sit anywhere they damn please on the bus, and have the right to vote?
Or maybe it should stop with all of the people who are currently in this nation at this moment, but whose origins lie elsewhere?
Or maybe it should stop with wealthy gay people who think they should have the right to see their loved ones when they are dying in a hospital?

You see, everyone is a progressive, they just think progress should stop with them, and everything after that is too much. Funny that. Or at least a large number of people think that way.

This is why so many people say they are "conservatives". They don't count the facts of the past, that they were probably at one time included in a group that was discriminated against.
