They don’t support our troops and they don’t support our country. Why don’t they just pack up and leave for Canada. Instead they stay here trying to cast this country into their on miserable image of what they think it should be. Where everyone is equally as miserable as they.

What happened to our troops in Oakland

I used to think that someone calling themselves a progressive was a good thing. The definition of progressive seems to be quite positive. But when it comes to being a political progressive it is quite a different thing all together.

From FrontPage Magazine: The Real Meaning of “Progressive” Politics

So great was this fear of the individual that John Dewey believed that the “mere absorbing of facts and truths is so exclusively individual an affair that it tends very naturally to pass into selfishness.” “Progressive education” was developed to meet the individualist threat on the juvenile level, while Progressive collectivization of the economy would meet it on the adult, with the first targets being those unregulated monoliths of “economic power” — the corporations.

So the way I see it now is, Liberals that now want to be called Progressives are still socialists and collectivists, still bad for America and still cannot be trusted. A liberal by any other name is still a liberal or worse.

Don’t trust a liberal ever. All they ever want to do is raise your taxes, take away your individualism, independence and make you forever dependent on government. They feel they know what’s best for you, better than you do and you should trust them because they know what’s best.

Like Rush has said often, liberals want their good intentions to be judged not the horrible results of those intentions. Just think about Social Security, Welfare and the War on Poverty. Just look at how those have turned out.

Speaking of Social Security, the first recipients of benefits at the time it was implemented are the only winners of this horrible entitlement program. They never paid a dime into it and got the most out of it. Everyone else since has been getting less and less every year since. Only government could run a program so badly.

NPR - National Public Radio

National, sure it is national but it certainly does not represent the nation.

Public, sure it is public, hell we pay for it through forced taxation. It hardly serves the public as a whole.

Radio, well it is radio. No disputing that. If it were to survive as a private enterprise it would die on the vine.

Maybe it would be named more appropriately. National Democrat Left-wing Liberal Progressive Radio or NDLLPR for short.

Which brings me to this little article I came across from the Washington Post: NPR Rebuffs White House On Bush Talk

Ellen Weiss, NPR’s vice president for news, said she “felt strongly” that “the White House shouldn’t be selecting the person.” She said NPR told Bush’s press secretary, Dana Perino, that “we’re grateful for the opportunity to talk to the president but we wanted to determine who did the interview.” When the White House said the offer could not be transferred to one of NPR’s program hosts, Weiss took a pass.

Perino said she called Williams with the offer Saturday because of the Little Rock anniversary and the racial controversy over charges of excessive prosecution in Jena, La.

“We thought this would be a good opportunity for the president to sit down with someone and have a broader conversation about race relations,” Perino said. “The president has talked with Juan before and we know him well. He’s active in trying to keep good relations with us. . . . We could have done a print interview, but I felt I wanted people to hear the president’s voice.”

Juan Williams, he’s a nice guy. A little left of center on most issues for me, but honest in his beliefs. His views on Black Issues I don’t necessarily agree, but I am a white guy, so what would I know.

NPR, shame on you. My tax dollars go to support this little liberal propaganda network. If the first time the President comes knocking to give you an interview, you should have taken it. You are suppose to represent us, the taxpayers. Please try do so.

When wackos on the left start speaking the truth they tend to get in trouble from people, surprisingly on the left.

Backlash Against Bollinger Hits Columbia

Columbia’s campus was buzzing with discussion yesterday of Mr. Bollinger’s reception of the Iranian leader. Students at the university’s School of International and Public Affairs said they were planning to send a petition to Mr. Bollinger later this week telling him that his behavior was out of line.

Students said they thought it was rude that Mr. Bollinger did not remain on stage to listen to Mr. Ahmadinjad’s response to his accusations. Mr. Bollinger never thanked Mr. Ahmadinejad for speaking on campus, and he didn’t extend him the common courtesy of shaking his hand, a first-year Palestinian Arab student at SIPA, Maher Awartani, noted. “I was personally offended by the way they were patronizing Ahmadinejad,” Mr. Awartani said. “It was intellectually impairing the way the president introduced him.”

Well Mr. Awartani, I just wonder if you were just as offended when your left-wing nut-bags caused a near riot when Jim Gilchrist of the Minuteman Project came to speak.

See that is the problem with the left, the truth about things tend to screw up all of their arguments.

The Left just can’t handle the truth.

…to teach an upcoming law school ethics conference.

For the Liberal Left, that sounds about right. No surprise here.
