They call this 'progressivism' now but i'm jumping off that wagon, man.<br /><br />They're content to assume its ideas and premises that lead to various laws are 'correct.' No wonder it comes off stale to some of us.<br /><br />It's nothing but statism at this point. It ceased to 'question' anything. Can anyone with a straight face still claim the New York Times isn't 'liberal' in the contemporary sense?<br /><br />They hold as much a spiritual connection to original liberalism as I do to Hinduism. Liberalism is another word for socialist now. That is, use the state as a force for 'good' as much as you can.<br /><br />Meh.<br /><br />T.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10275996524128634117noreply@blogger.com
