Citizens Of Poland Display American Flag And Welcome Troops sent by Progressive President Joe Biden.
The main reservation I have about President Biden is that he is not quite progressive enough, but he is almost infinitely preferable to an aspiring Tyrant like Trump, who has repeatedly and openly expressed envy and admiration for homicidal Tyrants like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un!
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I see both Republicans and Democrats acting in shameful and cultish ways. That is why I say to hell with both parties. I will vote for the best of two bad options. Trumpism is so far off the map of acceptable that it really is no option. Anyone who can’t recognize what an effing fool Trump is does not have an opinion worth listening to. Now that Trump’s hero Putin has invaded Ukraine, smh, Trump fools. If you don’t see what an effing moron your golden calf is now, you’re effing hopeless.

I agree!! I see the Republicans and the Democrats acting in shameful and cultish ways. But right now, today, our country is being transformed negatively by the far left progressive ideology. Mental health in America isn’t getting better, it’s getting worse among our youth. It’s because of the far left progressive bullsxxt they have to try to navigate. If the pendulum swung really far right and the far right idiots were trying to sell their cultish beliefs I would be fighting against their beliefs! But that’s not what we’re dealing with today.

So what you're saying is you don't really believe in freedom. People who create or even purchase personal property have no right to do what they want with it if it offends White Nationalists like you.

Flag burning isn't a "Progressive" thing at all. On the contrary, Progressives understand what America really is, the Right is just emphatically ignorant and think they can get away with that just by worshipping a piece of cloth.

It's definitely time to retire the flag worshiping nonsense from the Bush II era. Symbol worship strikes me as too much like what a religious cult would champion in order to bully the questioning back in line and keep the faithful on the path to mountain meadows like possibilities.
Myth is misused by the powerful to subjugate the masses all too often.

Funny! Really funny! You know what’s funny?? When people around the world are looking for help, often they’ll display the American flag. When they’re scared of a dictator or a bunch of fuxxing socialist, they’ll display the American flag! Because we have something they wish they could have, freedom!! But of course it takes all kinds and right now it’s popular to show hatred towards the flag because the progressive narrative is all about ruining America!!

Mike it is only occasionally that I get a picture of what you actually care about from your posts. I think this post is something I could try and understand instead of just shrugging my shoulders with the whatever reaction.

I am wondering what ways you see progressive agenda being a problem for youth. I look around and would expect two huge things being a real threat to young people mental health. The first would be the high high cost of housing and difficulties finding it. The second is the inflated high cost of college education. I do not see a lot of ideas for help coming from either the progressive or conservative wings.

What ways are progressive programs causing harm to young people? How worried need they be about gay marriage? I do not see young folks in a tizzy about it one way or another. Should they learn about the history of civil rights? I have seen images of young people ghastly ignorant of all sorts of history. They do need to learn more history in order to understand .

I have seen shallow and useless approaches to history and civil rights from both right and left. Learning more history is only way to improve that situation that I can see. People need to better understand history not hide from it or just make slogans.

For me it’s really simple simple! If a movement or a movements ideology can make people out to be “victims” for their benefit, it’s a very very harmful movement. And that’s the #1 goal of progressivism, make as many people out to be victims as possible so they, the progressive movement, can supply answers and a savior for every person willing to believe in their version of the truth. That’s why I say progressivism is a religion, because it is!!

First you gotta realize the vast majority of people don’t want to live the TRUTH! The truth is dreadful, it’s scary, it’s mean, it’s cruel and after all that you die. And that’s why religion comes in handy, it offers an escape from the “truth”! Religion offers hope of a life after mortal death. Religion offers forgiveness of all your mistakes!! But most importantly it offers community and an ethos to live by. And that’s what progressivism has tapped into! Progressivism is much like Mormonism in that, it teaches progressivismis the only way, the only “truth”, the only “savior”! So when I read post by Kevin, that’s why I push back so hard, he’s literally gone from a religious cult, Mormonism, to a political cult, progressivism!!! Some people NEED guidance and they’ll hitch their wagon to any movement that provides them answers no matter if the answers are correct or not! Just as long as the answers can comfort their soul, they’ll take up the cause and fight for it no matter what!!

Like I said, if the USA was following a far right Agenda I would be trashing the right! But that’s not the case! Today we’re allowing a religion, a progressive religion to infiltrate our schools and turn them into chapels and it’s going to ruin the USA and that’s exactly what the progressive prophets want!

You just described the current GOP perfectly. If you were able to think for yourself, you might ask the question, "Why am I purporting to be such a victim because someone, somewhere, is burning a piece of cloth?" You and Binger both whine about being victims in these idiotic culture wars that are of your own making.
And that’s the #1 goal of progressivism, make as many people out to be victims as possible so they, the progressive movement, can supply answers and a savior for every person willing to believe in their version of the truth. That’s why I say progressivism is a religion, because it is!!
But what you think doesn't matter because you're the same idiot who pretends to be a roofer because you think that validates your man card.

No one has been purporting to be victims more than today's GOP base. The world owes you the 1950's again right? The world owes you sub $2 gas, it owes you guarantees your children won't be gay, it owes you guarantees that everyone stands at attention whenever someone plays the anthem, it owes you guarantees that no one should be able to exercise their Constitutional right to destroy their own private property if they see fit, it owes you etc etc. GOP operatives have been whining about being victims for years, but it has only intensified under Trump.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) says he’s being “muzzled” by the media. I know he said that because his concerns were published as a blaring front-page op-ed in the New York Post, one of America’s most-read news outlets.

In case I missed it there, I would’ve heard about it consistently on Fox News, the country’s most-watched cable news channel, or from many other journalism organizations that picked up the story — including prominent conservative news websites.

The senator’s column is part of a newfangled right-wing crusade against “censorship” that isn’t solely the byproduct of some genuine anguish over the First Amendment. More than anything, this push is yet another sign of how Donald Trump’s rough character and unforgiving nature have overtaken the conservative movement.

One of Trump’s signature schemes was to frame himself and his followers as “victims” of vague and powerful forces arrayed against them. He was especially outspoken about that at a Dec. 5 rally in Georgia, leading up to the special Senate election there. “We are all victims,” he said plainly. “Everybody here. All these thousands of people tonight. They’re all victims. Every one of you.”
