Democrats give up and are willing to make major concessions

bull, Progressive does not refer to a liberal...it still refers to a commie, they have exactly the same ideas..

so you hear someone say they are A PROGRESSIVE, you know what they really are..

It depends. In 10's the Bull Moose party called themselves "Progressives". In the 40's Communists and Socialists tried to use the name as well.

The 'progressive' name has turned up most recently, however, as a euphemism for the word 'liberal' that annoys me to no end when people use it.

You damn progressive liberal.
Your severed head should be placed on a pike.

It's redundant. The word "Progressive" was the one the Communists used to describe their movement, they were trying to mainstream themselves by aligning with the American Progressive movement.

Which, by the way, was originally strongly supported by the Republican party. TR was probably our most progressive President followed by Taft.

The absolute DUMBEST post you have ever made.

Progressive and communist have the same meaning, thus redundant in American language???????????????

Are you one of those people showing up at town hall meetings shouting "communist?"

This is also a reductionism fallacy. I said that in a political context they meant the same thing because it was how they labeled themselves. Are you one of those showing up beating up on the tax protesters matching fists with words because words fail you?

C'mon brother. Stop pretending to be a knucklehead.

Progressive and communist DO NOT MEAN THE SAME THING IN ANY CONTEXT UNLESS YOU'RE DISCUSSING RUSSIAN HISTORY.

A progressive believes in the concept of democracy.

Do you need further explanation.

Except it wasn't solely in Russian History that Communists used that term to describe themselves. They made the term synonymous by taking it as their own.

I understand that current Liberals are trying to redefine the term, and they may be successful at it, but IMO they are using a term that is wholly what they are trying to avoid by changing from Liberal.
 
A Progressive believes in Democracy alright...

with a ruling Elite class lording over the little people...

which is what we are seeing now in the white house..
