   So why can't you answer the question, Nothing?   
      
   So just what is so "progressive" about the Left? Seems to me their   
   ideology is aimed at one thing and one thing alone: increasing the   
   power of central government at the expense of personal liberty.   
   Everything they advocate has that as the motivation and greater   
   government control of our lives as the end.   
      
   So what is so progressive about that? Government control over   
   people's   
   lives has been around for thousands of years. Escaping that sort of   
   control is why most of us, or our parents or our grandparents or   
   great-   
   grandparents came here to get away from.   
      
   Why do "progressives" favor that sort of imperial control over   
   people's lives rather than letting people have the liberty for which   
   this country was founded?   
   What sort of progress does the Left have in mind for us?
