    That type of new blood and new life into our political system scares the bejebus out of progressives, D and R, who want politics to continue "as usual".


    Yeah, blah,blah,blah. Why don't you address the point of the article?
    Steele said "The war in Afganistan was a war of Obama's choosing".

    I believe I explained why I posted about it. Because it gets the progressives all worked up, and that amuses me. The articles and blogs are nothing but a distraction for how bad Barry is bungling his presidency.

    Found this interesting article that has a quiz to judge if you are
    progressive or conservative in your thinking.

    Defining ‘progressive’ in politics

    The word "progressive" is thrown around a lot in Washington, sometimes as a less politically charged replacement for "liberal." But a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds that a majority of Americans are not sure what, exactly, the term means and whether or not it applies to them.

    Asked whether the term progressive "describes your own political views," 12% said "yes," 31% said "no," and 54% said they are unsure. Six in 10 Democrats and 57% of people who described themselves as liberal said they are unsure if the "progressive" label is right for them.

    Also interesting, many respondents who describe themselves as progressive oppose some of the same measures that, say, the Congressional Progressive Caucus – which is made up of Democrats – supports. For instance, 24% of those who call themselves progressive say they would oppose more government regulation of major financial institutions. More than one in three say that, "the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses."

    Webster's New World College Dictionary includes about a dozen definitions for the word "progressive," including "moving forward or onward" and "continuing by successive steps." That leaves plenty of room for people to define themselves as "progressive conservatives," which, by the way, is the name of a political party in Canada.

    The upper-case "Progressive" is defined as "a member of a Progressive Party," which this dictionary says is synonymous with "liberal."

    The Washington-based Center for American Progress, which describes itself as being "dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through progressive ideas and action," takes one stab at a definition through this 40-question online quiz that purports to define participants as "progressive" or "conservative."

    The poll was conducted June 11-15 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

    Take the quiz......http://www.americanprogress.org/issu...sive_quiz.html..
