My comment was in regards to transgender rights. I don’t disagree there is a very clear difference between classic liberalism, the basis for post-dark a society, and progressivism.
I will take issue with saying progressives hijacked the Democratic party. Far from it. Hell Hillary was their candidate, she’s case in point right there. Put Hillarys politics today back in the late 80’s and she’d be in the GOP. No, dems have failed to pass any substantial progressive legislation in some time. Ironically, Trump just may! LOL

Different question. Progressive Liberalism has little to do with Classical Liberalism from times gone by. Classical Liberalism was based on liberty. Progressives bastardized and hijacked the Democrat party. Trump’s election has given traditional Democrats a chance to take their party back but the reelection of Schumer and Pelosi makes that seem highly unlikely.
Why not? Do our freedoms and protections not apply to everyone?

A Progressive Liberal has little to do with liberty or patriotism for that matter. 😉
Democratic appointees hold a 10-5 majority on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a panel of which issued a groundbreaking ruling this April backing transgender rights.
Obama’s judges leave liberal imprint on U.S. law

What “liberals” would that be? Considering it was the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that reduced his sentence.
Jim Bakker is a perfect example of a Trumper 😛
Why would any freedom-loving American ever object to increasing the liberties of any marginalized group?

Obama appointees. Conservative judges would not have let that scum bag out. Obama was the worst president in my lifetime.

Jim Baker was put in prison with a 45 year sentence??? The Liberals let him out. lol
If you can’t cite a source, conjecture is the nicest word I can use to describe them.
Historically, scholars are kind to Presidents who are diplomatic and avoid involvement in direct conflict. Obama and Carter are both in that realm. That said, Carter was the right President at the wrong time. He’s proven it by continuing to dedicate his life to service post-presidency

I have some philosophical problems with NAP and it’s relationships with the overall good of humans as a species. It doesn’t allow for forward progress in society and its one of the reasons I left the party. That, and too many people have the ” man is an island” attitudes or the “Got Mine” types.

Reaganomics: The Success of President Reagan’s Economic Policies
Reaganomics: The Success of President Reagan’s Economic Policies
ECONOMY BEFORE REAGAN
When President Reagan entered office in 1981, he faced actually much worse economic problems than Obama faced in 2009:
Three worsening recessions starting in 1969 were about to culminate in the worst of all in 1981-1982.
Unemployment soaring into double digits at a peak of 10.8%.
Roaring double-digit inflation, with the CPI at 11.3% in 1979 and 13.5% in 1980 (25% in two years).
Double digit interest rates, with the prime rate peaking at 21.5% in 1980.
The poverty rate started increasing in 1978, eventually climbing by 33%, from 11.4% to 15.2%.
A fall in real median family income that began in 1978 snowballed to a decline of almost 10% by 1982.
From 1968 to 1982, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 70% of its real value, reflecting an overall collapse of stocks.
REAGAN’S ECONOMIC SUCCESS
Reagan conservative policies amounted to the most successful economic experiment in world history:
20 million new jobs were created.
Unemployment fell to 5.3% by 1989.
The top income tax rate was cut from 70% to 28%.
The Reagan Recovery took off once the tax rate cuts were fully phased in.
Total federal spending declined to 21.2% of GDP in 1989 (even with the Reagan defense buildup, which won the Cold War.)
Eliminated price controls on oil and natural gas. Production soared, and aided by a strong dollar the price of oil declined by more than 50%.
Real per-capita disposable income increased by 18% from 1982 to 1989 (meaning the American standard of living increased by almost 20% in just 7 years.)
The poverty rate declined every year from 1984 to 1989, dropping by one-sixth from its peak.
The stock market more than tripled in value from 1980 to 1990 (a larger increase than in any previous decade.)
The Reagan recovery started in official records in November 1982, and lasted 92 months without a recession until July 1990 (when the tax increases of the 1990 budget deal killed it.)
During this 7-year recovery, the economy grew by almost one-third (equivalent of adding the entire economy of West Germany to the U.S. economy.)
In 1984 alone real economic growth boomed by 6.8%, the highest in 50 years.
The inflation from 1980 (in the Carter era) was reduced from 13.5% to 3.2% by 1983.
(The contractionary, tight-money policies needed to kill this inflation inexorably created the steep recession of 1981 to 1982, which is why Reagan did not suffer politically catastrophic blame for that recession.)
The Reagan Recovery kicked off a historic 25-year economic boom (with short recessions in 1990 and 2001.)
The period from 1982 to 2007 is the greatest period of wealth creation in the history of the planet. In 1980, the net worth–assets minus liabilities–of all U.S. households and business was $25 trillion in today’s dollars. By 2007, net worth was just shy of $57 trillion. Adjusting for inflation, more wealth was created in America in the 25-year boom than in the previous two hundred years.
Economic growth averaged 7.1% over the first 7 quarters.
WordPress sites are not citable sources. There isn’t a single source for any of those numbers. Pure conjecture.
PS not a liberal. I voted for Dole and McCain. Don’t lump me into your dirty partisan nonsense, I was a Libertarian Party volunteer for the better part of a decade.

I loved the Iran Contra hearings
And how overnight the streets were filled with homeless people released from institutions.
Reagan was a pretty good president but let’s not let stuff go down the memory hole and pretend some bad shit did not go down.
Those economic numbers are hardly conjecture. Obama is a lot like Carter was only much worse.
Jim Baker was put in prison with a 45 year sentence??? The Liberals let him out. lol

- The topic ‘TRUMP wins!!!!’ is closed to new replies.
What? Bakker was reduced in 1992 and released in 1994 long before Obama was president and probably there appointed by Bush.
You can ‘t just make shit up ranting “Obama, Obama, Hillary, Hillary!”
