George W. Bush was far from my favorite president but he is not the only lie in Washington. The entirety of progressivism and its sister ideologies, (socialism, national socialism, Fascism, communism, etc.) is a lie. They are based upon an inaccurate view of human nature.
Crazy,progressiveness in its general sense,from the root word progressive; which means to go forward toward a goal,or advance.In the political context in which it is used,they are called progressives because their goal is that of achieving a state of true Democracy,as the framers intended the country to be. Democracy is synonymous with the free philosophy, hence,progressiveness is in no way related to those autocratic suppressive political philosophies and is not a sister political concept.
Those of your political persuasion generally contend and argue in favor of we being a "Republic' as oppose to a Democracy.This connotes iliteracy as to what a Republic really is.A Republic' is the Idea of a body of men/woman making laws and decisions that govern the plurality as oppose to the plurality making the laws and decisions they will be governed by. In general their say so as to how they will be governed is ascertained VIA a ballot,which is their vote.If you will reflect a moment and think about this countrys adversaries,and what their respective names are -The peoples "REPUBLIC` of china-formally The union of soviet "SOCIALIST' "REPUBLIC`
