The neo-Marxist's self-anointed intellectual superiority is just one more level of self-deception that plagues the Loony Left and entertains the free-thinking Conservatives. If the intellectual bankruptcy of the Loony-Left wasn't so dangerous to mankind, it would be hilarious.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps an intellectual, such as yourself, can explain to us knuckle-draggers how Socialism and Communism is going to work in the United States, when it has failed everywhere and every time it has been tried?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As far as your sources go, a propaganda piece by rabid Marxists is nothing to hang your hat on, much less take seriously. Each of your sources have been outed for their agenda driven drivel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The small group of our Founding Fathers had more intellectual capacity than the whole collective Marxist left combined. You have made a very good case for why "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would appear, based on recent European elections that the world embraces Conservative ideals and have throughly dismissed the Socialists, Marxists, and Communist who have brought ruin to their nations and economic health. It is odd, that while Europeans are wising up, the United States is slogging down that road of Utopian ruin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want to blame Conservatives for the current economic mess, study the law that created the Community Reinvestment Act and the role played by Maxine Waters, Chris Dodd, and Barney Frank, before embarrassing yourself again by relying on the propaganda furnished by your puppet masters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will stand with our Conservative Founding Fathers and defend their wisdom all day long. If you want to defend the brutal dictators and the destruction they have caused humanity, that is your right. Fabricating and using deceiving facts is not your right.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are an academic, please explain why our nation, which had the world's best education system once,  now ranks near the bottom since the Marxists and government have seized control over our American Education system?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Whitaker</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:28:30 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: A Great Decision on Habeas Corpus</title><link>http://www.progressive.org/mag_wx061308#comment-694955</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Terrorists would just as soon kill democrats as republicans.

I have no opinion on Russert, but I find some of the comments over the top.  I read these rants about corporate owned media and am amazed. Can someone point out the country that has a state owned and run media that provides a fair and un-biased media?  In a state run media most of the commenters here would be rounded up and treated rather harshly.  People in this country are allowed to voice their differences, in most forums, you should be careful of what you wish for, at least you have the option of viewing a variety of viewpoints in this country, even if most forums are corporate owned.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Whitaker</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jun 2008 18:05:07 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Obama’s Triumphant Speech Misses Some Notes</title><link>http://www.progressive.org/mag/wx060308c#comment-638523</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Did you ever consider that our ability to think,use reason, and logic is what actually separates us from other animals. I would consider Hope as what one depends on when there is no other options.  Hope is just a throw-away word that has no political relevance or meaning.  It may move those who faint and see Obama as the Second Coming, but for others it is rather empty words, seeking a definition.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Whitaker</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:36:13 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Hillary Clinton Redeems Herself</title><link>http://www.progressive.org/mag_wx0600808#comment-638385</link><description>&lt;p&gt;It is incorrect to state the right was terrified of Hillary.  A more correct analysis would show that the right was the first to recognize her hostility toward Bill's female victims, her dishonesty, and her sense of entitlement and superiority, while the left was idolizing her and her despicable husband.   &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Whitaker</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:20:28 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Progressive - Ted Kennedy&amp;#039;s Example</title><link>http://www.progressive.org/?q=mag_rc052108#comment-511702</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Mr. Kennedy, as any human, should be shown due respect for his illness.  That does not diminish his past shortcomings.  To gloss over his past misdeeds is dishonest and shows a pathetic lack of judgement by those who would attempt to elevate him as an example of a class act.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not everything revolves around political grandstanding.  Morality and common decency should transcend political posturing.  The rabid political class will attempt to bestow greatness on this man, simply due to his ideology.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Whitaker</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 22 May 2008 13:56:35 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Obama No | The Progressive</title><link>http://www.progressive.org/mag_reed0508#comment-398471</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Reverend Wright issued the Last Wrights to Obama.  The other issues that destroy his credibility and expose his lack of judgment have not even received attention yet.

I think not.  The story line would be screaming Separation of Church and State and the righteous guardians of the constitution would be demanding that this teacher be sent to re-education therapy and then fired.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The author didn't mention why teaching Islam should enjoy an exception to the clearly established doctrine of Separation of Church and State.  I am perplexed and shocked at this lack of consistency and double standard.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Whitaker</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:54:39 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: School Superintendent Threatened over Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish | The Progressive</title><link>http://www.progressive.org/mag_mc042108b#comment-384885</link><description>&lt;p&gt;The posters supporting the right of the school to keep their minority students ignorant of the English language are correct.  There is no law demanding an immigrant speak the English language. Although, their reasoning and explanations are rather superficial and transparent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several groups have a vested interest in keeping minorities uneducated and unable to fully participate in the American economy.  if a minority can't speak the language, it will be very difficult to attain a higher education and compete in the marketplace of higher paying jobs or the aren of ideas.  If they can't speak the language, it becomes impossible to fully grasp contracts, read newspapers and the list goes on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those who advocate the right for immigrants to remain illiterate and inarticulate are actually condemning those, who they claim to be standing up for, to a life of substandard existence and limited upward mobility. But, we have witnessed this scenario play out before, just with different actors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The use of derogatory terms such as bigot, idiot, etc perhaps show the results of a an education system where critical thinking was never taught or perhaps it is just a symptom of group-think.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those who advocate that we learn to speak Spanish so that we can communicate with those immigrants are probably agents of some of the militant Spanish groups. Such a preposterous claim would never be advanced or expected of any other country.  That is a rather arrogant position and bordering on ignorant remark that an entire nation should change it's language and heritage to accommodate our visitors.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Whitaker</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 27 Apr 2008 06:39:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Hillary Clinton’s Pennsylvania Victory | The Progressive</title><link>http://progressive.org/mag_wx042308#comment-380141</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Who are you voting for?

I don't believe that I could describe a progressive, tolerant, freedom of speech defender any better than the sample you provided.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course you will want to lecture us little people on how important your freedom of speech is.  I am sure you will also be deeply offended when someone points out the hypocrisy and disconnect between your stated views and actions. You made a very compelling case for why a Progressive should be elected as the leader of the free world. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Whitaker</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:31:28 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Turning Obama Red | The Progressive</title><link>http://www.progressive.org/mag_wx041908#comment-361286</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I couldn't help but notice that this site appears to engage in thought and speech suppression and control.  I am an Independent and I don't agree with either side on all issues, but I find it very difficult to stomach the fact that so-called Progressives are so fearful of defending their positions that they resort to censoring and deleting the views of anyone who does not agree totally with their way of thinking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That is not Progressive.  We have seen that same level of suppression used by the Nazis and communist time again.  I was under the impression, from reading some of your articles, that Progressives are the watchdogs of free speech and individual rights.  I guess it is true that you can't always judge a book by it's cover.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I find it interesting and informative to view all sides of an issue, but in this forum it appears as though fear of your positions being discussed openly has reached a level of panic. It appears that Progressives are hypocrites and are progressive in name only.  It would be difficult for me to vote for anyone who claims that they are progressive. I see the same level of fear in the Obama campaign, after his actual views were exposed. Your Gestapo-like actions are being noted and discussed on truly progressive and open thought exchange forums.  I see very little difference in this site and the Kos site. I would suggest you change your name from Progressive to Totalitarian. Just my independent view, for what it is worth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Whitaker</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:10:49 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
