Finally, an honest (unintentionally, I'm sure) DUmmy...admits that the country doesn't want a 'progressive' agenda, so one must be forced on us.

5. They are free agents. The CPC could have blocked anything they wanted.
 They didn't. Let's not blame some higher power from preventing them behaving in any way they want.

Progressives, by definition, are rational, responsible people. That is why they haven't thrown temper tantrums and blocked legislation that didn't contain their maximal positions. They work for progress socialism, and such ideological rigidity, they understand, would preserve a status quo that is less desirable than a less than ideal outcome that is nonetheless steps in the direction they want to see.
 
Absolutely snort worthy. :lmao: :rotf:
Also, FIFY, DUmmie.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Why do the primitives think that just by saying something, it's accurate or the truth?

This boogles the mind.

We document evidence from Skin's island on a daily basis that says otherwise.

Need I remind you, primitives, that we as conservatives are more intelligent than you.  You can claim otherwise all day long, but that's all you're doing.

I'm smarter than all you primitives combined, I know it, and there's nothing you can do to ever be smarter than me.  My understanding of economies and how the world works substantiates it, my standing within the community endorses it, and my net wealth confirms it.  You can go suck an egg.

I'm of the firm opinion, that even visiting the DUmp to often will drop yer IQ a coupla points! I would recommend one only visit occasionally, just so you can build yer intellect back up before turnin' into the "Rain Man" and develop a tendency to watch "Wheel Of Fortune"!!

Yes, you can.
And if you can acquire a million dollars in assets, you can be a millionaire.
If you can develop superhuman strength and the ability to fly, you can be a superhero.
