Theodore Roosevelt was the very first progressive President,Political Chic
Woodrow Wilson was the most heavy handed progressive.
Actually, Roosevelt lost the election when he ran as a Progressive....so he was the first Progressive candidate.
In splitting the vote with Taft, he gave the election to the first President to run on progressive policies...
BTW, Wilson was the first President to have studied socialism.....he claimed it was the same as democracy.
And excellent book on the period, and the election: "1912," by James Chace.
Did you go back and read the material? Or are you simply playing with yourself at the keyboard again?

T. Roosevelt was a progressive from the get go.
As President, Government grew with National Parks,Dept. of Commerce & Labor, Fed. Police get power over state police,National Forest Service,National Monuments, Regulation of Railroads all progressive ideology.
He ran a third time 1912 under the bull moose party and lost,but as President 1901-1909 his Government grew and was the start of the progressive ideology.
Is that all you got?
Yep, that's all you got.
Yep, that's all you got.
Ya' little worm...by documenting everything I said about Progressives attempts to exterminatate those they didn't feel up to snuff, I don't need any more.
Idiot.
Oh...now I see...you are so lonely, bereft of human company.....that even the beating you've been taking her is better than lonliness....
...is that it?
So, I'm the sadist, you the masochist?????
Kinky, you little Nazi worm!
Now....be gone....back under the rock.
The gov't shouldn't be in the business of teaching any kind of values, that's for the parents to do. The gov't should be in the business of protecting our nation and our rights and civil liberties as individuals, nothing more.

So, you do not know how to read a bill, you attempt to use book reviews as valid sources, and you are reliant on other's interpretations of information taken from unreliable sources while having the opportunity to research it yourself. It is now out in the open and now, you are afraid that if you continue on this will become even more obvious.
Enough of your douchebaggery. Hit the books or admit you're a shill.

I strongly disagree here. I don't think this constitutes any breach of the separation between church and state, and for that reason I don't see why there should be a prohibition to the fact that government has an OBLIGATION to teach values to Americans.The gov't shouldn't be in the business of teaching any kind of values, that's for the parents to do. The gov't should be in the business of protecting our nation and our rights and civil liberties as individuals, nothing more.

The sort of values that I have in mind are cultivation of a work ethic and ambition for great successes for oneself. I think it is the a biggest issue with public education and the one thing that I noticed strikingly different between my private education in the public schools that I went to.
I think in a lot of ways American public schools use the fact that parents have an obligation to instill values in their children as some excuse for the low performance due to children who do not tend to value education. That's some kind of cop out. I expect that after years of consistent poor results stemming from a lack of value for education, that the US government's education system would aim to remedy that internally.
Teach the value of excellence.
All this time I've just been rubbing money on myself. This should be a lot more sanitary.I strongly disagree here.

I agree with thaaaaa.......
....wait...what's that alluring smell???
Ohhhh>
"Thanks to one ambitious man, you can now smell like your money.
Patrick McCarthy, a Chicago-based vice president of sales at Microsoft, thinks hes designed a product both men and women will open their wallets for. Hes created His Money Cologne and Her Money Eau de Parfum a product he says could bode well for your earnings potential.
The idea is that money-grubbers might work even harder if they immerse themselves in the scent of dollar bills. Think of it like how the smell of freshly baked bread makes you hungry except this is a lot more greedy."

No matter how desperately leftists try to insist America operates under a caste system, we don't.
While 90% of wry baby's comments are the sad result of his being dropped on his head, you must be living on another planet to believe America has no Caste System.
I have to agree with Dave on that one. Herman Cain's dad, for instance, was a chauffeur and his mom was a maid. And look at what he has accomplished and now he is running for POTUS. I can point to my own family and my own life to demonstrate that nobody is confined by the circumstances of his/her birth in this country. Disadvantaged? Yes. In a situation where you have to work harder than the other guy? Yes. That happens and is sometimes the luck of the draw. But that is very different from a caste system.
That is one of the traditional values that I think should be emphasized in the schools and by everybody. If you are born poor, you don't have to stay poor. If you are ignorant there are limitless opportunities to educate yourself. Some of our most distinguished citizens would have been called 'disadvantaged' in their childhood and youth, and yet rose above their circumstances to achieve great things. Nobody should accept being a victim in this country but instead take advantages of the limitless opportunities that our Constitution affords us. Stop blaming and resenting the other guy and get busy.

I suppose in the strictest sense, as "Caste" is definded in Victorian England, or contemporary India, the word cannot be strictly applied anywhere. Basically this means if you are born into a certain socio-economic structure, then you will spend your life there. However, there are exceptions to this rule in England, India, and of course the USA.
My comment about caste is more related to the advantages of birth: To believe that if you are born into a wealthy family in the USA, then you have no more advantage than anyone born into a "middle caste (class)" family, is ludicrous.
