Progressives vs. the President
Mr. Cesca, you’re telling me that Obama is basically not progressive at all, and I’m supposed to take this with a smile and a grin? WTF is he then? This is important!
What Will Future Generations of Progressives...
I agree with your comment. Speech wasn’t aimed at left or right. Wasn’t aimed at anything. That Speech could be used for any occasion, weddings, bar mitzvahs, graduations, or anything! Kind of a magic speech, what you get out of it is only a reflection of your own mind. I can see politicians using this speech verbatim, 100 years from now. Devoid of taste, it never spoils!

Budget Freeze Budget Freeze, middle class loves that? Oh my bad, it’s the too big to fail banks that love Budget Freeze.
Obama To Democrats: Don't 'Run For The Hills'
Obama to progressives: ” Row Harder! Don’t slack off”
Progressive to Obama: ” Pull up the fucking anchor”
Obama To Democrats: Don't 'Run For The Hills'
I was pissed about the budget freeze. This speech had exactly nothing to offer me. Apparently you could stomp on puppies in front of Obama and he would still be composed and calm. and they say the president is a puppet.
Great Speech, Mr. President: But Are You Ready to...
Some say the budget freeze is a pathetic attempt to seem less lefty. Apparently Obama is retreating from the left. Now how likely is he to raise the progressive flag and open fire? Hello?

The Sorry State of the Union
People say that the teabaggers are racist, why else would anyone disagree with Obama?
Have they tried looking for a job lately? You might as well be looking for a vestal virgin?
Military spending is the kind of economic policy that indicates we aren’t living in a Democracy. If we were in one, the spending would be balanced by rhetoric. Instead, it’s terra incognita, much like the...

Liberals are Pathetic!
man this could be an extra chapter in the book: _Animal Farm_
something about the leadership of the barnyard telling the animals that they’ve lost motivation.
remember how the pigs took leadership and gradually been walking upright?
Liberals are Pathetic!
Jim the blogger is using the logical fallacy: “False Dichotomy”
It’s not true that agitating against the democratic party is self-destructive.
We don’t have to get in line, etc.
This sounds just like the beltway advice for the democratic party: After the Senate defeat in MA, the democratic party must move to the center. What? That means cutting down the distance from...
Lefty Obama-Haters Lost Massachusetts Senate Race
we progressives just saved the democratic party from being saddled with the most unpopular tax ever: the health insurance mandate. You won’t thank us for that. Why?
Progressives: We Have Met the Enemy and He Is Us
Mr. Simmens offers a lot of hope in his blog. What the hell is wrong with him? When the party is over, you generally go home. AmIWrong?

Mass Hysteria: Another Victory for the Billionaire...
1. awesome blog les!
2. les is saying we haven’t even begun the organization…. is there something holding us back?
3. Something holding us back is: stepping out from Obama. Obama occupies a big spot in the progressive box. Much like a fat kid with lunch on his shirt, we need to either get Obama pulling the agenda or toss him out.
Keeping the Mancession in Perspective
Is this crazy blogger saying that the mancession doesn’t exist because male wageearners outnumber female wageearners? I’ve heard plenty of recession denials but this takes first prize. I am speechless TBH.

Why is Brit Hume a bigot? Do you even know what the word means? Look up tolerance in the dictionary please. Clearly you can’t tolerate his opinion.

yes the welfare system produced some horrible results. but I won’t let you tar progressive efforts with that mistake that’s 40 years past now.

Les, you put your finger on something. It’s not fair. Tea Parties are led by an idiot, and are still flush with success. I just can’t figure it out!!!
