The Rise of the Regressive Right

http://www.readersupportednews.org/opinion2/279-82/7920-the-rise-of-the-regressive-right

A fundamental war has been waged in this nation since its founding, between progressive forces pushing us forward and regressive forces pulling us backward.

We are going to battle once again.

Progressives believe in openness, equal opportunity, and tolerance. Progressives assume we're all in it together: We all benefit from public investments in schools and health care and infrastructure. And we all do better with strong safety nets, reasonable constraints on Wall Street and big business, and a truly progressive tax system. Progressives worry when the rich and privileged become powerful enough to undermine democracy.

Regressives take the opposite positions.

Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann and the other tribunes of today's Republican right aren't really conservatives. Their goal isn't to conserve what we have. It's to take us backwards.

I just created my account here to try and get my message out. I don't know what I am doing so please bear with me.

I wrote a sort of open letter to America, created a simple website to post it on and then registerd a twitter account under the same name I just registered here to try and get it seen. I sent the link to about 6 people or so before Twitter suspended my account.

I am 100% honest in my motives, and I am working for or with no one at this time.

Screw "progressive." I'm an unabashed LIBERAL. And in the face of the Regressive Right, we need a helluva lot more LIBERAL warriors, not the spineless, in-the-pocket-of-Wall-Street Democrats.

We're losing this battle. And the war.

Bake

and divide the country in two? Soemtimes it seems stupid to continue this non-winnable war with the right. The left and right seem to be polar opposites and there is no longer any definable middle ground.
