Progressivism as a major movement movement started with the Second Great Awakening, and the movement continued to be religiously based until about the 1930's when it began to merge with another older ideology; liberalism.
This is of course how the radical progressive anthem 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' got it's apocalyptic verbiage, and how 'America the Beautiful' called for divine intervention to "mend thine every flaw"
You may try to hide the provenance of Progressivism, but it comes from the same source as communism and Nazism....and demands the same end for society.
Progressives, socialists, communists, Fascists, Nazis and Modern Liberals:
...the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.
That is incorrect for a number of reasons

Are you pretending that this does not describe the Progressive agenda?????

The truth will set you free. Preach on, Sister!Yer a real honey, DD
thank you for your kind words and thoughts.
She's wasting her time because she can't think for herself or answer a simple question, she can only cut and paste. Any bot can do that, she's hardly special.
The dem guide to success is making a system where people are helpless and dependent. It never crosses their minds that people can succeed and that leaders should promote such success. Is it all about getting power, or do the Pelosi's and Schumers really believe that success is granted by the government?
Unlike you, I don't run from a challenge:"...I'm sure I could come up with as slanted a set to show he was a miserable failure."Nice job of cherry-picking the numbers, I'm sure I could come up with as slanted a set to show he was a miserable failure. As I recall, Reagan was not the economic god he has been portrayed to be.
But you didn't, did you, hot air?
What you did do is prove what I wrote...
When the politics behind the economy is taken into consideration, the Progressives and their command and control policies fail in comparison….so they lie about the success of the other side.
Then you aren't paying attention.I don't see you leftists backing up your idiotic assertions with facts like PoliticalChic does.

- The results of Reaganomics are still debated. Critics point to the widening income gap, what they described as an atmosphere of greed, and the national debt tripling in eight years which ultimately reversed the post-World War II trend of a shrinking national debt as percentage of GDP.[5][6]
- Much of the credit for the resolution of the stagflation is given to two causes: a three-year contraction of the money supply by the Federal Reserve Board under Paul Volcker, initiated in the last year of Carter's presidency, and long-term easing of supply and pricing in oil during the 1980s oil glut.
- During Reagan's eight year presidency, the annual deficits averaged 4.0% of GDP, compared to a 2.2% average during the preceding eight years.[8]
- Federal net outlays as a percent of GDP averaged 21.4% under Reagan, compared to 19.1% during the preceding eight years.[13]
- Reagan significantly increased public expenditures
- President Reagan raised taxes eleven times over the course of his presidency
- Spending during the years Reagan budgeted (FY 1982–89) averaged 21.6% GDP, roughly tied with President Obama for the highest among any recent President.
- manufacturing employment declined by 582,000 after rising 363,000 during the preceding eight years.[46]
- The unemployment rate averaged 7.5% under Reagan, compared to an average 6.6% during the preceding eight years.
- The average real hourly wage for production and nonsupervisory workers continued the decline that had begun in 1973, albeit at a slower rate, and remained below the pre-Reagan level in every Reagan year.[55]
- The labor force participation rate increased by 2.6 percentage points during Reagan's eight years, compared to 3.9 percentage points during the preceding eight years.[56]
- The top 1% of income earners' share of income before transfers and taxes rose from 9.0% in 1979 to a peak of 13.8% in 1986, before falling to 12.3% in 1989.
- The top 1% share of income earners' of income after transfers and taxes rose from 7.4% in 1979 to a peak of 12.8% in 1986, before falling to 11.0% in 1989.
- The bottom 90% had a lower share of the income in 1989 vs. 1979.[92]
- The federal debt almost tripled, from $997 billion in 1981 to $2.857 trillion in 1989.
- He eased bank regulations, but that helped create the Savings and Loan Crisis in 1989.
I find it hilarious that leftists are suddenly concerned with spending whenever a conservative is in the White House.During Reagan's eight year presidency, the annual deficits averaged 4.0% of GDP, compared to a 2.2% average during the preceding eight years.
There is good debt and bad debt. We should all be concerned about the latter and that is what Trump is racking up.I find it hilarious that leftists are suddenly concerned with spending whenever a conservative is in the White House.During Reagan's eight year presidency, the annual deficits averaged 4.0% of GDP, compared to a 2.2% average during the preceding eight years.
President Reagan had to rebuild the military that Carter decimated, just like President Trump has to rebuild the military Obama destroyed.
The idea is to not have to fight any wars.we can easily fight any two wars at the same time.
That may be true in theory but in practice, not so much. We've been fighting an almost constant series of military actions since WWII.The idea is to not have to fight any wars.we can easily fight any two wars at the same time.
Thanks to the Democrats.That may be true in theory but in practice, not so much. We've been fighting an almost constant series of military actions since WWII.The idea is to not have to fight any wars.
Are you so ideological that you can't see or are you just so ignorant you don't know? Has any GOP president not engaged in a military action? Bush got us into Afghanistan and Iraq and we're still there today.Thanks to the Democrats.That may be true in theory but in practice, not so much. We've been fighting an almost constant series of military actions since WWII.The idea is to not have to fight any wars.
As a matter of fact, yes. President Reagan.Has any GOP president not engaged in a military action?
The invasion of the Caribbean island Grenada in 1983, ordered by President Reagan, was the first major foreign event of the administration, as well as the first major operation conducted by the military since the Vietnam War.As a matter of fact, yes. President Reagan.Has any GOP president not engaged in a military action?
Peace through strength, get it?
Kind of nail it this timeHow the production and exchange of goods is accomplished is a re-telling of the major difference in view between the Founder’s nation, and that of one under the thumb of Progressives, Democrats.
Second only to a gun to the head, a position the Left has never been loath to pursue, control of a nation’s economy is the best way to force a population to be compliant.
It’s all about dependency.
1.With the Enlightenment came the view that mankind can do anything, can know everything, and is without limits in relation to the universe.
It gave rise to the French Revolution, and the end of religion as no longer useful: man became God. And no matter where and how often the idea came to chaos and destruction…..it persists today as communism, Progressivism, socialism, and Liberalism.
That attitude metastasized in the following way…”After…the industrial mobilization that produced victory in World War II, …the academic discipline of economics acquired the confidence of a scientific profession.
…John Kennedy exemplified the serene postwar confidence in the management of the economy…a basic discussion of the sophisticated and technical questions involved in keeping a great economic machinery moving ahead….basically an administrative or executive problem.” George Will.
2. The powers failed to recognize that the expertise was far more than one of economics; it was political. Nixon went further in the error, also believing that economics was simply one of administration….he failed so miserably that he instituted wage and price controls, “the most aggressive peacetime expansion of government power over the economy in American history.”
By the late 70s, stagflation: no growth and a 13% inflation rate.
3. To understand what Reagan, and later, Trump did, requires an understanding of the conservative views of the Founders, and compare that to the ‘government-as-god’ doctrines of the Progressives, Liberals, Democrats, who incorporate the ideas of Rousseau, Hegel, and Marx.
Reagan was elected to try his conservative hand at fixing the problem, using market forces rather than government. His understanding of the problem can be seen in his quip…The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
To be sure, a capitalist economy, a free market economy, is a government creation to the extent that government ensures transparency through reliable information, and the freeing of markets from government control.
4. But, never count the Progressives out of the equation, as they control the media and the schools, and sure enough, economists made their way back, while discounting and denying the unmitigated success of the Reagan ‘golden age.’
Until they tripped up again….2008.
Next.
What a fucking comedian you are.So far the Democrats philosophy of keeping Americans poor, pissed off and dependent on government is working pretty good on minorities and low information Hunkies. Only when the people wake up their intentions will be able to put the evil Democrat party to sleep.
This thread is for adults.....try to avoid the juvenile vulgarity.
If you can.
That was a rescue operation for American medical students on the island. Nice try.The invasion of the Caribbean island Grenada in 1983, ordered by President Reagan, was the first major foreign event of the administration, as well as the first major operation conducted by the military since the Vietnam War.
No it was an invasion meant to replace the legal government with one more to our liking. The outcome was a good one but it was still a military action few countries had the military to carry out:That was a rescue operation for American medical students on the island. Nice try.The invasion of the Caribbean island Grenada in 1983, ordered by President Reagan, was the first major foreign event of the administration, as well as the first major operation conducted by the military since the Vietnam War.
