Stop Calling Them Progressives!

 Joy Overbeck


"When I hear prominent conservative media commentators and brainy columnists call America-haters bent on destroying our noble Constitutional Republic “progressives” I feel the top of my head may fly up and stick on the ceiling. They should know better. The sickening behavior of these tyrannical anarchists are the very opposite of progressive which Webster defines as “continuous improvement; the development of an individual or group in a direction considered more beneficial than and superior to the previous level.” There’s nothing beneficial for us as citizens or our nation about lawlessness, destruction of private property by black-masked Antifa terrorists, attacks on the First and Second Amendments, cancelling the voices of those who disagree with WOKE dogma, and shrill Maxine Waters-esque calls for personal attacks. Yet as long as we let them get away with calling themselves progressives, they can claim moral and intellectual superiority over the rest of us." . . .

. . . "What to do? First, fight back against the “progressive” racism that demonizes people for the color of their skin. Organize with other parents and citizens to forbid your local school board to impose “critical race theory” and “gender fluidity,” including the promotion of transgenderism, on children’s education curricula. Help Trump’s prosperous economy return by pressuring politicians to stop sending fat government checks that amount to more than a paycheck for many Americans." . . .

Here's a "Progressive" for you:

Even Folks on the Left Are Tired of the 'Reform' From Progressive San Francisco DA

"There’s a terrible case out of San Francisco that perhaps encapsulates, in a very simple way, the problem that we now face with rising crime, “reform,” and progressive district attorneys.

"According to KGO, a 75-year- old woman was beaten, grabbed by the hair, and dragged in an attempted car-jacking outside of a supermarket. A Good Samaritan had to rush in to save her.

"There were many witnesses to the crime. And multiple suspects were involved, including one minor who was arrested and charged with robbery, elder abuse, aggravated assault, and conspiracy.

"But now, those charges against the minor have reportedly been dropped, according to what KGO’s Dion Lim had been told by multiple sources. Why? Allegedly because there was a “lack of DNA evidence.” This, despite multiple witnesses to the event." . . .

The shoplifting has become such an epidemic, 17 Walgreens have packed it in. The shoplifting is at 4x the rate as in the rest of the country. Why? Because there are no criminal consequences for the action — and the criminals know it, so there’s more of it.
