Regressive "Progressives"

George Will:

...

When did peculiarly named progressives decide they must hunker down in a defensive crouch to fend off an unfamiliar future? Hoover Dam ended the lower Colorado River as we knew it. Rockefeller Center ended midtown Manhattan as we knew it. Desegregation ended the South as we knew it. The Internet ended . . . you get the point. In their baleful resistance to any policy not “as we know it,” progressives resemble a crotchety 19th-century vicar in a remote English village banging his cane on the floor to express irritation about rumors of a newfangled, noisy and smoky something called a railroad.

Given Democrats’ current peevishness, it is fitting that Sandra Fluke will address their convention. In February she, you might not remember, became for progressives the victim du jour of America’s insufficient progress. She was a 30-year-old-student — almost half way to 62, when elderly Americans can begin collecting Social Security — unhappy about being unable to get someone else (Georgetown University, a Catholic institution) to pay for her contraceptives.

Say this for Democrats: They recognize a symbol of their sensibility when they see one.

Or, as Mark Steyn describes Fluke ... a 30-year-old schoolgirl.

"Angry"?

They used to say that calling Obamba a magic Negro was racist in the 2008 election.


Obviously after 4 years there's no magic with him whatsoever, but don't you dare call him angry.

An incompetent, professionally lazy black man that likes to perpetually campaign, host fund raisers, entertain mostly black actors & athletes and play golf the rest of the time, doesn’t seem to work for them either.

In 2008, the meme was that Obama was a "lightworker".

I'd have to agree with that. In fact, if he worked any lighter, he wouldn't work at all.

After watching Obamba for four years why would anyone ever consider hiring an Affirmative Action black man?

You can't do anything with them once hired and could possibly lose your business for being "racists" regardless of their job performance through an endless array of discriminatory lawsuits.

It used to be acceptable to give a “black man’ a job, by white, Hispanic & even black business owners, now its run away or pay big later.


I just wonder what that divisive pr!ck will do if it looks like he'll lose?

The only 19th century vicar I'm aware of made 200,000 pounds on the railroads.

That's the $64 thousand dollar question. I think Van Jones and his thugs and Kalle Lasn and his blockhead followers will spring into action, rioting, looting, and destroying that which they aren't being handed. They're already gearing up.

Before that, look for the unionist argument that if Obama isn't re-elected, there could be violence (from them of course), so why take a chance?

Calling Sandra Fluke a "prostitute" was an insult.

Prostitutes work for a living, and they buy their own contraceptives.

Is Sandra Fluke still around? I thought that flash-in-the-pan was gone ages ago.

I wonder if Sandra Fluke took her annual vacation to Europe this year? Or did those $9/month contraceptive pills bust her budget?

I can't wait for when calling a black person "black" will be considered a racist term. (I'm old enough to remember "negro") - oh my god!! did I really type that??!!??

BTW - Sandra will soon be knowned as Sandra Well Flucked. I'm sure that there is a long line of dirty thirds salivating for her.

If she's getting that much action, why aren't her boyfriends buying the condoms. Mabe because they don't have jobs?
