I could disortate for hours about the neuances, but in point of fact, 'Netta is correct about the spectral differences between "progressives" and Libertarians. While one wishes to make the world better by making people behave - the other believes the world will be better when you endorse God's plan of free agency. <br /><br />Simple to me - liberty or death.Deanhttp://wade-young.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470549157034856112.post-41135443429195527152009-12-02T12:52:48.735-08:002009-12-02T12:52:48.735-08:00I love that you responded to my comment so fully a...I love that you responded to my comment so fully and with such respect - this is too rare in the arena of politics, on all sides.<br /><br />Obviously we are two people who see things in vastly different lights, and that's cool - no need to create an argument over ideas.<br /><br />I will say that I do not believe progressivism is at all in lock-step with communism; that progressives do not equate humans with animals; that we do not want to throw away the effort of the individual in favor of socialism; and that no matter what Arianna Huffington says, neither I nor any progressive/liberals I know want to stifle comment or dissent from any quarter. <br /><br />I enjoy browsing through people's blogs and reading a wide array of ideas - this is why I don't listen to a lot of "liberal" talking heads, because I don't want to hear what I already think. I want to hear what might cause me to think of things from a new perspective, and your blog is one source that provides that.<br /><br />I pray every day for God to continue to bless each of us, as I'm sure you do as well, and in that at least we have real common ground. :)JeanBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18341833451419793979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470549157034856112.post-7411100123008903792009-11-25T08:11:34.585-08:002009-11-25T08:11:34.585-08:00Very well said.

Not only to the more liberal progressives want all people to be 'equal', but they want animals to be equal with us, too. Truly corrupt, the doctrine of progressivism is.Rick Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556014638381696485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470549157034856112.post-66376374209246889152009-11-24T18:47:44.949-08:002009-11-24T18:47:44.949-08:00I'll stand by it too.
