Differences between progressives and teabaggers
   
* A progressive sees a homeless person and wants to help, realizing that so many of us are only a couple of paychecks away from being homeless.
* A teabagger sees a homeless person and thinks "it's your own damned fault"

* A progressive sees a gay couple and applauds the progress we've made, but realizes we still have a long way to go
* A teabagger sees a gay couple, and secretly applauds Iran and the Taliban for "getting it right"

* A progressive sees a group of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Muslims and applauds the diversity of our nation
* A teabagger sees the same group and wishes for the "good old days"

Besides the usual BS comparisons, I find it fascinating that a guy would talk about the Tea Party Movement and sport a "Che" avatar.  The hypocrisy is just mind-numbing.

When you open your wallet to help that homeless person then you can crow about how much you care.

* A progressive sees a gay couple and applauds the progress we've made, but realizes we still have a long way to go
Personally I don't care in the least if there are gay people running around as long as they aren't sucking each other off in public.

* A progressive sees a group of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Muslims and applauds the diversity of our nation
A conservative doesn't count how many of each race are in a group. because we don't really care what race you are. Only liberals judge people by their race.

Typical leftist drivel. Intellectually they lack the depth of a pitri dish. For all of the effort this person put into their race and hate baiting they could have come up with something progressive, according to the true definition of the word.

Then give your own money to them instead of demanding more and more taxes that steal money from everyone else.

* A progressive sees a gay couple and applauds the progress we've made, but realizes we still have a long way to go

I do not care what some other person's lifestyle is as long as they do not force it upon the rest of us, or demand legislated respect, or have sex in public.

* A progressive sees a group of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Muslims and applauds the diversity of our nation

And yet Black conservatives have been told by the regressives to 'go back to the plantation.' (example http://redwhitebluenews.com/?p=15861)

Good shot, sir.

You hit the bull's-eye inside the bull's-eye.

A regressive sees a homeless person and thinks the Government should help yet they walk by the person and don't give out of their own pockets or take that person home for a warm meal, see Bobbo as an example, what have any of you ever done for her?

A Conservative will donate to private organizations to help those in need, they don't expect the Government to do it.

* A progressive sees a gay couple and applauds the progress we've made, but realizes we still have a long way to go
* A teabagger sees a gay couple, and secretly applauds Iran and the Taliban for "getting it right"

A regressive SEES A GAY COUPLE, they don't see just 2 people, they always need to add a label to what they see.

A Conservative is usually too busy to notice or try to label people.

* A progressive sees a group of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Muslims and applauds the diversity of our nation
* A teabagger sees the same group and wishes for the "good old days"

A regressive again feels the need to label people, they also feel the need to make decisions on the behalf of minorities, to keep them on the plantation so to speak, and when they veer off the plantation? just look at the names minorities are called.

A Conservative doesn't label people, if you're willing to work hard, you live a good life, that's all we care about, but if you're going to go around committing crimes? damn right we'll call you on it.

Conservatives see people.  Progressives see "causes."

Conservatives donate their own money to help people.  Progressives demand higher taxes on the rich to support "causes."

Conservatives build, run and support food banks, homeless shelters, crisis pregnancy centers and childrens' homes.  Progressives go to court to shut them down or add wasteful regulations because they aren't secular enough.

There is only one difference that matters between Progressives and members of the Tea Party.
Who are the ones with the guns?

[TexasCop]

What's funny is that all the people I see WORKING for non-profits are liberals, but all the people VOLUNTEERING there are conservatives. 

[Varokhâr]

Indeed, typical Leftist crapola.

If asked to actually back up or otherwise prove their assertions, all you'd hear are crickets.

But, the Left can't stay afloat without ad hominem attacks and demagoguery.

Nice distinction, and completely correct.

I'm not even goin' to read this shit! The first "progressive" who calls me a teabagger to my face is goin' to be eatin' his teeth!

This has gone on long enough! Shame on those who started it! Aren't they denigrating those they think are their allies? I wonder why we're not hearin' a damn thing outa them?

[DefiantSix]

Only difference between a 'Progressive' cocksucker and a 'Teabagger' cocksucker is that the progressive will spit, while the 'teabagger' swallows.   They're both useless, stupid leftist cocksuckers.

Is that why Bobo is still homeless?

I have to say that I'm with you on that one.  I'm about fed up with the term.

[PatriotGame]

A "progressive" regressive sees a black/Latino/Asian/transgendered/queer/aborted human as just another 3,000 votes...
