Clichés of Progressivism

[Refugee]

As he points finger and mutters nonsense, good one medcan, the quintessential progressive.

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is that after five years of Obama in office, its still everybody else's fault when things go wrong.

And that free market creates inequality is a $#@!ing fact.

Life itself "creates" and maintains "inequality". If you're alive, there are people who have better skills than you ...and there are people that you are more skilled than.

Nothing on earth is "equal".

Here's the beginning of what should prove an interesting series of articles...


#1 -- Income Inequality Arises From Market Forces and Requires Government Intervention




#2 -- Because We’re Running Out of Resources, Government Must Manage Them




More to come...

The “Clichés of Progressivism” series is meant to equip students with the arguments necessary to inform debate and correct the record where bias and errors abound.

Why not just link the site? Parroting what others say is not critical thinking.

Take note my progressive, liberal, leftist friends, has anyone seen the right wing and or the libertarians do anything except point fingers. No nothing, you noticed too. The right exists to whine, they do that well, one has to grant them that. In power they are failures, history shows that and my signature contains a lesson. So whine on RWLCLCRTPFMW* enjoy this brief moment of existence doing what you do best: cry.

RWLCLCRTPFMW = Right Wing Libertarian Cheap Labor Conservative Republican Tea Party Free Market Wingnut

Feel free to use my acronym when ever you hear the crying of the right wing assortment of cry babies.

I have yet to see any evidence that you and I are allies, @midcan5. You are a modern progressive, of the Obama/Clinton sort. I am a classical progressive, of the Roosevelt (Teddy, not Franklin)/La Follette/Debs variety. We are two completely different animals.

Thus far, I have not seen anything from you modern progressives, outside of rhetoric, that shows we have any kinship other than in name.

I've posted constructive ideas.... with a few exceptions they are always dismissed or ridiculed by our rightward members.

Where are the alternatives instead of the excuses?

You and I ought to work together to put forth classical progressive ideas and alternatives sometime, @nic34.

Nothing on earth is "equal".

It is not nescessary to live[survive] to be the most, more, better...ect skilled at anything.


Me, not being the most, more, better skilled at anything I did, had no adverse effect on me living a good life.

Oh, cool, another thread where chris displays just how partisan he is by c&ping things that confirm his bias.

They are dismissed or ridiculed because your "constructive ideas" are nothing more than progressive pap, dressed in gaudy clothes.

The best that you have is a quote from Friedman?

And that free market creates inequality is a $#@!ing fact.

Bye.

Nasty little word from out Spaniard.


Free markets also create a higher standard of living for all!

So my question is if you have a job that allows you to buy an nice home, car, take a couple nice vacations a year. save for retirement and your kids collage education?

Why the do you care that the Guy across town has more than you do?

What happens when socialism tries to make the income more equal? Then it brings the top down and the bottom falls too?

Why it is that liberals are so happy to have less as long as the guy across town has less too, Seems crazy to me, but that is the liberal agenda!
