After some research I found what seems to accurately reflect what a "progressive" is.
Do you agree? If not why. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=progressive


Top Definition

Progressive
A term that former liberals co-opted when they discovered that their delusional beliefs didn't fit any recognized definition of the word liberal.

A "Progressive" is identified by the following behaviors/beliefs:

- Knows what is best for everybody else
- Claims to be well-informed even though they get their news/talking points from the Daily KOS and/or MSNBC

- Believes that personal wealth is evil yet they fawn over wealthy celebrities and limousine liberals

- Believes corporations and profit are evil, and will tweet about this 24/7 on their fancy iPad

- Thinks name-calling and demonizing opponents is the same as debate

- Accuses every person with a dissenting view of being a racist


- Supported Occupy Wall Street from the comfort of their living room, not the rape tent

- Drives a Prius with a COEXIST bumper sticker
- Believes in the rights of everyone, except those who disagree

- Thinks the Constitution is flawed because they can't control all 3 branches of government

- Believes YOUR success could only have come at THEIR expense

- Believes Al Gore is right about global warming, even though his carbon footprint 100X of the average person

- Thinks voter identification is racist, because it discriminates against dead people Conservative: I believe in personal responsibility and smaller government

Progressive: You racist hate-monger

Conservative: You said you believed in equal rights for everybody

Progressive: Spam

Simple White Crackers

DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse flour, salt, and sugar until combined. Add butter pieces, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. With the machine running, gradually add milk; process until dough comes together. Cover dough with plastic wrap, and allow to relax at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. Unwrap dough, and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll into 17 1/2-by-17 1/2-inch square, 1/16 inch thick (if dough continues to spring back, allow to relax again, covered with plastic wrap, for another 10 minutes). Sprinkle dough lightly with coarse salt. Gently press salt into dough with the rolling pin.

  3. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into 2 1/2-inch squares. With a thin spatula, transfer to ungreased baking sheets. Liberally pierce with fork. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp, rotating baking sheets if needed for even cooking. Let cool on wire rack. Keep crackers in an airtight container, at room temperature, about 1 week.

or a recipe involving nutshells.

Steamed White Fish Belly

Direction

  • 1. Wash and dry the fish belly. Prepare a serving plate, put some green onions on the bottom and put the fish belly on top. Then top with some ginger. Prepare for steaming.

    2. In a wok, add some water and place a steaming rack in the center. Bring to a boil. Put the plate of fish in the center, steam for 10 minutes.

    3. While the fish is steaming, heat up the 2 tablespoons of oil on high heat.

    4. When the fish is cooked, top with green onions. Pour hot oil on top and some soy sauce.

Could you add a nice recipe for fish.
The recipe I have been using lately is.

1. Lightly dip thinly sliced pieces of fish in flour.

2. lightly dip into whipped eggs.

3. roll fish in chopped mac nuts and fine panko.

4. fry in coconut oil until lightly browned.

you can add salt and pepper if you like.

Tarter sauce.

1. chop two cloves of garlic real finely chopped.

2. Finely chopped red onion about a TBsp

3. lemon juice, a squirt or two

4. finely chopped crispy baby sweat pickles

5. add mayo

Thats what I have been doing, I am sure you will like it with a cold corona or a glass of red wine.

Well thank you dobbs. I did edit out the following since I never want to
offend anyone whether its part of the dictionaries definition or not.
"These fools are frequently self-loathing, unsuccessful losers who can only feel better by projecting their failures onto their opponents."

P.S If you see Lou at dinner tonight tell him I said hello.

After "liberal" became a dirty word because of the loony left, they had to abandon it. Now, "progressive" has become a slur that they are ashamed of, and rightly so.

Both words used to be entirely respectable. When you associate with communists and Kulaks, though, you lose all respectability.

Fantastic reply. You are a person to be reckoned with. You are offering a lot of useful info about the human condition and how you feel about it. I salute you.

Do you have any good, and I mean good, fish recipes?

P.S. Lou said your Mom owes him $20 for the room. Thanks.

I simply started a debate on what is a progressive . Looks like you fit the dictionary version to a T.
Please note according to the dictionary you fall into several of the categories including Progressive category 7 as follows-Thinks name-calling and demonizing opponents is the same as debate

Progs have zero intellectual ammunition with which to engage, so they resort to name calling, deflection and hissy-fits!

Ponderous, predictable and cowardly.
And so it goes.
