You can wrap dog crap up in pretty, scented paper, and its still dog crap.

Better than elephant dung - takes too much paper due to the sheer volume of it.

Be afraid, VERY afraid! That elephant dung will become an avalanche upon the DNC, come the next two election cycles. You may consider placing a small piece of wrapping paper over your tin-foil hat, to prevent tarnishing. Elephant dung can be quite corrosive.

I agree - it sure corroded the hell out of the economy and jobs market.

The name "progressive" is actually familiar. That's what "liberal" used to be when the whole idea began, with Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.

"In that sense, we can say that lemmings are also progressive. Cows going up the ramp the slaughterhouse are still making a forward progress. But then, it's the journey, not the destination, right?"
Yep...it's about your "fellow travelers".

"Fellow travelers" is a fun phrase, kids! It should catch your ear every time you hear it. It does mine.

Also, Freemasons use the term "fellow travelers" to refer to eachother.

Conservativism has been allowed to nearly completely take over the system, that is why we are in the mess we are in now. Think about it, when did the drug war begin? When did the deficit and national debt start to skyrocket? When did our military start to become the world's policeman? When did our incarceration rate start to overtake places like China, Russia, South Africa, and Iran? When did jobs start to get outsourced at a hyper rate?
The answer: it all started with the conservative 'revolution' that swept Reagan into power. Deny he and the Bushes were "real" conservative if you want, but their base consistently claimed to be conservative, and they said their policies were so, so if it quacks like a duck...
This RJ author (is he on digg?) needs to be a bit less biased and do his fact checking a bit better.

* Conservatism.
"When did the drug war begin?"
"Although Nixon popularized the term "War on Drugs" when he first used it in 1971, the policies that his administration implemented as part of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 were a continuation of drug prohibition policies in the U.S. which stretched back to the year 1914" when Democrat Woodrow Wilson was president.

"When did the deficit and national debt start to skyrocket?"
Income tax/IRS. Again, Wilson.
"When did our military start to become the world's policeman?"
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. Woodrow Wilson again:
"The world must be made safe for democracy." - Woodrow Wilson, when arguing _for_ entry into World War I, something he promised he wouldn't do.
The other two you might have right, though, and I don't apologize for it: shame on the neocons for furthering those aims.
