Liberal or Progressive

Isn't it funny how people change their descriptive title in order to sound better than they are? For years the American people have heard the battle cry of "we are Liberal" and proud of it. Well, after all these years of finding out how devastating the title of "Liberal" is to their political movement, the left has transformed into the party of the "Progressives". This is to give the impression that all others are stagnant, not moving, stale. Only the progressive truly understands the issues and the needs of the people. If you are not with a progressive, hook line and sinker, then you are ignorant and can't really understand the intelligence of the truly advanced human being. That is precisely what Hugo Chavez said when he failed to secure the presidency for life.

What is a progressive? According to the dictionary: "favoring and promoting social reform. ... characterized by emphasis on individual needs." Something in the line of "..a system of thought that gives class struggle a primary role in leading society from bourgeois democracy under capitalism to a socialist society..." Marxist. "..A social system in which the producers possess both political power and the means of producing and distributing goods.." Socialist.
If you listen to a progressive, they all advocate the above sentiments, but attempt to add sweets to make it sound better. But how many have actually thought about what is being shoved down your throats? How many of you have actually considered the implications of the transition?
It's not hard to see, really. Look at Russia, China, Venezuela and Cuba. Each of these countries have done wonders for the "people". While the ruling class has everything, cars, houses, money and food, the "people" struggle to maintain a small apartment and stand in line for hours for food. The only people that progress and advance are those that are connected to the ruling party. The rulers have all the good doctors and immediate health care while the people are subjected to long waits for any health care and most often by an incompetent doctor. If it is an emergency, you can see a doctor by bribing him.
What does Progressive, Marxist and Socialism have in common? They are all designed to take away your right to "progress", your right to advance, because it is more important to support those factions of our society who prefer not to work. It is more important that everyone has the same and no one is left out. It is better to take your money away and give it to someone who has less, that way we are all happy and content. Each of these political systems are designed to control you and mold you into little working ants. Think about it, no more concerns about making a lot of money or even working for that matter. Someone else will worry for you, Big Brother in Washington will watch over you and care for you.
Today we have two candidates who openly proclaim they are "Progressive". They are afraid to mention the word Liberal due to it's connotation. The both insist that we must "take from those that have much and give to those that have little". This is called income distribution, steal from those that have and give to those that don't.
Yet, in America, a person has always had the opportunity and right to advance themselves. How many Americans started with nothing and became millionaires? No one has ever stopped an American from becoming rich. It is a personal decision, work or don't work. You cannot drop out of school and drink all day then expect to be a millionaire. Everyone who desires to become rich can, it isn't like Europe and a far better system than England, Canada, Russia and China. Our system is based on the individuals abilities and dedication.

So we have a choice in this election, do we want Big Brother taking over or keep America free. Do we vote for "Change we can believe in" or change we can live with? While I truly feel that American does not have a champion in the running for this election, I am also very afraid of the alternatives. If either democratic candidate takes office as President of the Untied States of America, we will face a barrage of taxes, re-distribution of income, terrorist attacks here in the states (because we have run in the face of Islam) and your personal rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights will be erased. One of the first will be the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Both Hillary and Obama are dead set on taking away the "right of the people" to own firearms, and both, with the help of a liberal congress, attack that right until they take it away. Once that one right is eliminated, we will loose them all. So do you vote for "Change we can believe in" or not? Think carefully on this position, it could mean everything to your future.
