What are "Progessives" all about? Progress...from what TO what? Interesting thoughts here from a Catholic perspective. The controversy over a Super Bowl ad for a snack chip that allegedly “humanized,” of all things, a pre-born human being highlights the deliberate rejection of reality of the “abortion rights” objectors. On its face, as others have noted, the controversy exposes the pernicious obfuscation that a fetus is nothing more than a “meaningless blob of protoplasm.” Yet, the anti-reality inherent in pro-abortion propaganda is only one example exposing the delusional foundations of modern secular culture, most prominently manifested in its ideology of sexuality, including the normalization of all manner of sexual deviance, same-sex “marriage,” gender-fluidity, human-robot “intimacy,” and other high tech auto-eroticism.
These aberrations have in common the denial of the fundamental nature of the human person as a child of God. Human sexuality is no mere biological expedient for the continuation of a species that is essentially indistinguishable from any other animal species. The meaning of sex in persons is intrinsically connected to their participation in God’s divinity and cooperation in his creativity.www.theimaginativeconservative.org/2016/04/making-progress-dehumanizing-humanity.html

What are "Progessives" all about? Progress...from what TO what? That is what I have been asking for 30 years. Progress, by definition, is advancement in a predetermined way or direction. Progress toward what? The most truthful answer I ever got from a Progressive was "positive change by consensus" which I only call truthful because it was what he believed. But it is vague, and therefore immeasurable, rendering it nonsense. They invoke the unknown to keep it unknown by the general public, as if they themselves didn't know. Orwellian academic rhetoric so irrational that it can only be the product of intellectual incest. And my heart aches at the thought of this generation of college students enslaving themselves to the indoctrination... going into debt to be lied to and manipulated in return. Today, institutions of higher learning are being petitioned by their students for "safe spaces" where the they are free to deny the right of free speech to anyone they disagree with. What they have been led to believe does not stand up to real-world scrutiny. So, when questioned or challenged they are unable to coherently rebut them. They want a sanctuary within the sanctuary because hearing the views of other students on campus triggers and embarrasses them, which evokes in them insecurity and fear. And, well... emotions are real. Like, you know... Damned Trigglypuffs should be protesting against the lies they are being fed instead of asking the lying institutions to do something more to shield them from the truth.

"positive change by consensus"
Positive as defined by whom? One wonders...
