". . . conservatives have contributed absolutely nothing to social progress and have always served as its obstacle."

Resistant to change is part of the definition of politically conservative. Therefore anything that is progressive is by definition not conservative. The only changes that conservatives support is undoing the progressive changes made in recent decades.

Where is it written that all progressive changes are good?

Hankster, say what you will but the fact remains that Goldwater voted against the law that abolished Jim Crow and ended legal discrimination.

There used to be a progressive wing of the GOP - the Theodore Roosevelt wing if you will. TR himself, and like Republicans who came after him, are in fact primarily responsible for many of the public lands we enjoy today as well as some of our best environmental laws. But that wing of the party has been under attack by GOP conservatives since the election of Ronald Reagan. As a result the only thing that remains of the old progressive wing is a small remanant with very little influence. Likewise, TR's conservation legacy has been jettisoned as well.

Yeah, whatever...

all yer good at is trying to instill shame and fear because actual legitimate cause is non-existent. Keep up the name calling you fuccking propaganda pushing oppressor.

Leave it to the Liberal's to preach about "tolerance" and then make comments such as these

Well I think 4 S finally cemented his hold on the idiot of the year award left or right! But then again the Roo is pushing hard to overcome his late start.............. neck & neck at the finish line!!!!!!!!!

I'd be highly disappointed if I didn't make it to the top of a right wing list. I have, after all, worked hard my entire adult life to actively oppose, anger, and defeat conservative goosesteppers. Indeed, I would consider it a mark of faiure to not be reviled by a movement and ideology for which I have nothing but contempt.

The way I figure it... if Rivrdpsht, Flab Slappy and Suc Dic got their panties in a wad over what I posted... I gotta be doin' something right.

It isn't.

And if your IQ is around 80, that's a good enough reason to oppose all progressive change.

AuntyM, you need to remember that for these righties the market is a religion. It matters not that that history exposes the folly and failures of unregulated markets. Like their marxist cousins they continue to believe despite all evidence to the contrary.

Oh yeah, see that Hanky, R / KK / 4 / D all pop up on cue ..... should be like shooting the moving ducks at the fair for ya!

Patron, movie, and a good friend so gonna prop my feet up and enjoy. You children may continue on with your mindless mayhem though, you are amusing!

Hey AM I think the old guy could use my plan, what ya think kid?

Agree with it or not , at least people should know what the motivation for these protes are.

I haven't followed this deal very much.

As I drove the 545 past Westlake Center this morning, I saw some of these goofballs parading around. It might help there cause if thier signs were legegible at least. And from the one sign I could almost make, it seems thier message is unintelligible.

Is there cliff notes? WTF is their problem? Are theset he same goofballs that started the WTO riot? If so, gas them now.

A stalk of broccoli is smarter than these marble heads.

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

Talk about entitlement mentality.

"RantyM, do you think I'd be living where I am if I was offended by gays?"

It's because you are a closet liberal.

Zinggggggggggggggggg

Good point. Hard to argue with you on that one.

Based on the number of posts and the quality of posters on this issue, I'm assuming it must now be the rage-of-the-day and being covered on right-wing talk radio and FOX.

BTW Hank, I'm not even sure that is a list of "their" demands?
