At the last debate Hillary identified herself as a "progressive." One might be tempted to think that "Progressive" in this instance derives from "progress" or too move in a positive direction.
However, when one examines the words used by "progressives" and the cause for which they advocate one can not help but conclude that "progressives" stand for:
1. the progressive elimination of personal liberty, to be replaced with "what is best for the community."
2. the progressive elimination of any public expression of faith in anything but government outside one's own home.
3. the progressive use of police state tactics to monitor and censor churches (but not Mosques) lest they preach anything that "progressives" have determined to be hate speech.
4. the progressive elimination of the use of merit by employers to determine who to hire how much an employee will be paid. This already exists in many areas of employment. Progressives seek to expand this to all employment.
5. the progressive elimination of private transportation choice. After all, if not everyone can afford a Mercedes S-Class, then no one should have one. Hillary said there can not be allowed to be a privileged class. S-Class is a symbol of privilege.
6. the progressive elimination of anything that may allow one person to stand out over another as it may be construed as a sign of one person being more privileged than another.

If you think this is crazy, just listen to what the "progressives" say. Just read the histories of dead leftists they honor. And contrary to what progressives say, it is "progressive" atheists that have slaughtered more of their own people in the name of the progressive cause than any group has killed in the name of their God in the last century. Mao, more than 50 Million. Stalin and Lenin over 50 million. Pol Pot, in the millions as many Lowellians of Cambodian decent well know.
Castro's number is still counting. His dead former head goon Che Guevara is another mass murderer who demanded absolute loyalty to government, imprisoned or killed those caught listening to American rock music, yet is he held up as a hero of "counter culture."
So when you hear someone identify themselves as Progressive, know that actual meaning is regressive.
