Why do Democrats call themselves "progressive" or "liberal"?

Lefists are always redefining the definitions to suit their purposes, up there with demonizing the opponent to avoid being entangled in a debate they would lose. That's how they roll folks, that's how they roll... It's not ignorant, it's purposefully deceitful. This deceit manipulates the naive.

This is the base of the leftist movement, the purposefully deceitful manipulated by the unknowing naive.

I love all this arguing about minutia. The average American was deceived in school. They were taught and believed in a false concept that says Communism is Extreme Left and Fascism is extreme Right.

Bogus! They are both Tyranny and they Both belong at one end of the spectrum of political schemes. The only difference between them is the details of how they dominate and enslave citizens.

Want a Workable political spectrum? Try Anarchy at one end and Tyranny at the other. Think about it.

- - - Limiting the Power of Government is the only real solution. Power corrupts so our Founders balanced powers and spread the base of power as thinly as possible. Now you see the Reason America's Brilliant Founding Fathers opted for Limited Government and granted Liberty and Rights to Responsible Citizens.

Lets follow the Constitution for a change. Any law that takes Power away from responsible citizens and grants that Power to a Central Government is Unconstitutional by its very nature. That is what guarantees Tyranny.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
