    How many Liberals and "Progressives" actually know the history of their movement?

    And I don't mean coming out of the Progressive Era, I mean what influenced it, who started it, etc.
    Todays Liberals are not the same as the Classical Liberals that our Founders were.
    OK so the answer is ZERO. Dang, I could've saved myself 5 points.

    American Liberalism started with Jefferson. Conservatives have been trying to link American Liberalisem with Russian liberalism if you want to call it that for years.

    Oooh, I did a report on it, too.

    I know a major influence was the Magna Carta, which called for common law.

    And I remember Locke and Hobbes.

    before the progressive movement came about interracial marriage was illegal in the south.

    I've lived in the south and have brothers and sisters there in interracial marriages. They're all very happy too. Without the progressive movement them marrying would still be considered "illegal"

    History is the past.

    The future holds: Anti-business tactics that will push out business and destroy the United States with INFINITLY high debt.

    The only way to pay for Universal Healthcare is for....advanced business concepts to come out. We've been ITCHING to use them since Bush.

    Universal healthcare will create one big needy....weak...expensive...broke society...or anarchy.

    Enjoy your food while it last...
