How progressivism started- The Patriot Post ... Thanks Ramey H!

If you've ever wondered about a sufficient definition of progressivism, look no further.  Take a good, close look at the column by Arnold Ahlert called "Essence of Progressivism."  The last sentence in this short piece is worth remembering.  It nails progressivism like no other definition.  In fact, I'm saving it because it's a beaut.

Right Analysis | Right Hook | Right Opinion Patriot Headlines | Grassroots Commentary FOUNDER'S QUOTE DAILY "No government, any more than an individual, will long be respected without being truly respectable; nor be truly respectable, without possessing a certain portion of order and stability." --James Madison, Federalist No. 62, 1788 Essence of Progressivism Columnist Arnold Ahlert: "A remarkable quote from president's speech last week further underscores the bankruptcy of progressivism. After once again blaming everyone else for the debacle of the website's rollout, he said something that should stun every American. 'What we're also discovering is that insurance is complicated to buy.' Obama and Democrats concoct a 2000 page healthcare bill and another 11,000 pages of regulations that apply to it, and the president is just now discovering that buying insurance is complicated? A gargantuan case of hubris, coupled with stunning level of ignorance about how the real world works, is the essence of progressivism."
