Is this what "progressive" means?
What is this newfangled "progressive" idea that we’re hearing so much about recently?
Is this it:
You don’t have to work. If you can’t work, or if you don’t feel like it, then you should be allowed to get everything for free. If a student doesn’t feel like studying or doing her homework, the teacher should just give her a passing grade for free. If too many students fail in a teacher’s class, it must be a "bad teacher." It’s the teacher’s job to make students WANT to do their homework and study. If for any reason a student just doesn’t feel like working, then it’s the teacher’s fault.
You should be allowed to escape from the bad effects of your actions. If you break the law, you shouldn’t really have to go to jail. If you just look the judge straight in the eye and say "I’m REALLY sorry, I swear to God," then you should just be forgiven. If a girl gets pregnant, as if that just happens by magic while she’s studying and doing her homework, then she sould be allowed to get an abortion.
You should be willing to sacrifice your freedoms in exchange for all of this. You weren’t planning to own a gun anyway, so what do you need freedoms for? But they should defiinitely legalize marijuana, that’s just like the Prohibition, and history shows that didn’t work. And lower the drinking age, too, but definitely take away people’s guns, because there are just some freedoms you shouldn’t want.
Does that pretty well sum up what "progressive" means?
progressives are like parasites.they latch on to their hosts and feed off of them.but eventually the host dies.

Yes. These are the same people who could care less about how much time and effort someone puts in, and are perfectly fine with some people being thrown under the bus as long as they get their entitlements.

The progressives have been around since the early 1900’s , Wilson was a progressive as was Teddy Roosevelt , Hoover , FDR , LBJ, Carter and now Obama. In fact the very word progressive was so scorned after the policies and tactics of Wilson that the progressives had to find a hole to hide in . That hole was the term liberal that they conveniently stole and wrapped themselves in as a disguise . Do not confuse a liberal with a progressive they are not one and the same .

Progressive is the hiding term for marxist liberal

"no, you are misinformed"
I was going to say the same thing, but with stronger language ^^
"If you break the law, you shouldn’t really have to go to jail. If you just look the judge straight in the eye and say "I’m REALLY sorry, I swear to God," then you should just be forgiven" – that’s Christianity not Progressivism
"You should be willing to sacrifice your freedoms in exchange for all of this." – that’s the patriot act.
"If a girl gets pregnant, as if that just happens by magic while she’s studying and doing her homework," – it only happens by magic if have been taught abstinence only sex-ed.
"But they should defiinitely legalize marijuana," – That’s libertarianism.
"If too many students fail in a teacher’s class, it must be a "bad teacher." – duh

It’s a fancy PC term for radically liberal.

If you think "progressive" is a newfangled term, than you really are an out of touch moron with no understanding of history or society whatsoever.
FAIL. TRY AGAIN.

To me being a progressive is facing facts as they lay, not how you wish them to be.
Where do you get the notion that democrats or progressives desire a free lunch and shouldn’t stand accountable for their actions? It’s sick what BS is being spoon fed to America’s village idiots.
Pre Roe v. Wade, authorities never pulled dead or mangled rich women from back allies. It was the poor that suffered. Why are you conservatives so heartless? The party of the rich (republican) could care less if R v. W is overturned. They’ll have their doctors do it anyway like in the old days. We all need to wake up and smell the coffee. They use the issue to stir our emotions in order to sucker us for our votes.
Nobody is trying to take guns away. Hand guns are the second leading cause of death among you men in this country. What do you think should be done about it? Forget the answer. You conservatives could heartlessly care less.
Marijuana tends to make people stupid and make stupid people even more so. This progressive, along with others, actively seek to keep marijuana illegal.
Please try to think more progressively.
Why the thumbs down? Can’t face facts as they lay?

Naturally, since your premise is flawed, your conclusion is flawed…basic logic interruptus. It never ceases to amaze me how ridiculous a conservative sounds in a blatant and ill-concealed attempt to attack liberal ideology. I would argue that you are espousing ingrained propoganda but you are doing it so poorly that I wonder if true conservatives with honest heart-felt convictions will even bother to jump to your defense?

The progressive movement is a modified form of Marxism. It has been in American politics since around 1900 and had a great deal of influence in American politics up to the mid 1930’s. As the people started to realize the direction being sought by the progressives, they lost favor with the voters. This is when the liberal movement came into being. Co opting the term and applying a milder form of progressive ideas, they came into favor filling the vacuum left by the progressive movement. The progressive movement started to resurface in the 1960’s but started to quietly infiltrate both of the parties. A slow move to the left in both parties started and by the new century had brought the Republicans to the liberal side and the Democrats back to the progressive movement. This is where Obama came in along with progressive in Congress. The movement is in strong force and has in the last year start the nationalization of our financial system and manufacturing sector. Meanwhile bringing fiscal chaos on our entire economy, end result will be total control over both the economy ans well as society.
