From Sibby’s mailbag:
Seriously, I’m reading the South Dakota blogs and I’m getting sick. It’s generally a bunch of East River people so entrenched in partisan politics that they can’t see what a great day this is for South Dakota, and particularly Western South Dakota. I’m not defending the progressives or the conservatives.
Just read this on your blog and I'm really wondering...
JUST WHAT THE HELL IS A PROGRESSIVE ???
Is that code for LIBERAL... or maybe DEMOCRAT ???
My God... can't they even call a spade a spade ?
Actually the far-left Democrats ruined the name liberal and they had to come up with something new. So they came up with progressive, which is just another lie from the left.
What they should be called are secular socialists. Even thought they are not as intolerant of Christians as the terrorists, they want to remove the First Amendment right of those who chose to publicly voice their religious beliefs. There is nothing progressive about that.
They are socialists who want to preserve the biggest rip-off ever invented…Social Security. They are even against progressive indexing of Social Security benefits. What they refuse to understand is that socialism creates poverty. Keeping the poor poor is hardly progressive. Taxing those who work to move up the economic and away from poverty are not progressive.
The far-left Democrats are secular socialists, which are not liberal or progressive. They have to lie, because the truth is not kind to them.
