Americans believe that the founders of the US were brilliant, exceptional and extraordinary men and women. Americans believe in the US Constitution.
Progressives believe that the founding fathers were bitter people who clung to guns and religion, and the Constitution needs to be replaced by a new manifesto.
Night and day.
Progressives believe the Contitution is a living, breathing document that needs to evove in order to enable their pointy headed agenda.
The Karl Marx manifesto?
I’m not exactly sure what the current progressive manifesto is…? It’s got something to do with wealth redistribution and gay marriage. Any other ideas? They used to have economic theories, but they didn’t work out, and as far as I can tell, haven’t come up with any new ideas in that area for a hundred years or so.
Hey Will! This should give a good overview of where they are coming from, and where they (we?) are headed. This is the “Fabian Society”, that is pretty much the snake’s head…

And the war has a new front…
“RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — More than 100 people were arrested Monday at the largest demonstration yet of the North Carolina NAACP’s weeks-long protest of the conservative policies of the Republican-led General Assembly.
Police estimated that roughly 1,000 people attended a rally late Monday afternoon behind the Legislative Building on Halifax Mall. Hundreds then entered the building. Upwards of 150 people were arrested outside the doors to the state Senate chambers, where demonstrators chanted, sang and delivered speeches decrying what they called a regressive agenda that neglects the poor.
Groups ranging from abortion-rights supporters to environmentalists and public educators have joined the rallies, which have attracted people from Greensboro to Rocky Mount.
Among those who stood outside the state Senate’s door awaiting arrest was George Gresham, president of the Service Employees International Union’s United Healthcare Workers East, which represents nearly 400,000 members from Florida to Massachusetts. He said the state’s policies go against the working poor, and the growing momentum of the NAACP’s demonstrations will catch fire elsewhere.”
