FORWARD first used like was by the Communists. Do we have a Communist running again for the presidency this time?

Remember when "gay" meant "joyful"…when "liberal" meant "generous"…when "wicked" meant something "evil"??

Very well said, Keyboardshark. No where has the Progressive social utopia worked. It has failed every time it is imposed on its people, creating misery, poverty and in North Korea, Mao's China, and Stalin's USSR widespread starvation.

No word in any language can move a nation or a person FORWARD. By our choices, we move ourselves backward or forward. Backward is not a bad word if we use it to look backward at what Christ has done for us, knowing He will "keep" us in the palm of His hand. Forward is not a bad word if we use it to march steadily toward Christ's plans and goals for us. No man, however, can do anything to us if we don't walk backward into a past of sin or forward into the continuous trickery of Satan. OVERCOMERS: Our feet should march to the beat of "ONWARD, Christian soldiers, marching as to war!" We are in God's army with thousands of angels with us. Our sword is the WORD of God…none other!

Like I said, I am simply agreeing with the statements as written, without reading any further implications into them nor agreeing with everything Vlad may or may not believe about Christians. In other words, if I was presented the statements as written, and was not told who wrote them or what else they believed, I would agree with what was said. I am only agreeing with the statements at face value, not the entire belief system of the person writing it.

One difference is that Republicans of the ultraconservative variety often post insulting names for the Democratic Party, as in your "DemoRats," above, whereas Democrats very seldom descend to such puerility. Also, it is Republican ultraconservatives who frequently show utmost disrespect for the President, using such shameful and childish coinages as "Obummer" and even "Ovomit."

I am not sure if are agreeing with all what he said or implied even though you said you do…
For example when Mormon Vlad talks about Christians he implies that he is one of them.
We know that is not true.

@ Dionesius3:

Yes I do, but in this case his arguments seem quite valid, so I am taking them at face value and agreeing with them. If an atheist had said the same things, I would have agreed as well.

You are probably right. However, the soci alist model still allows the Progressives to gather votes in this country. Soci alism is a very good vote getter among those who like its promise of "something for nothing".

Unfortunately it's a false promise. Like Margaret Thatcher said, "Eventually you run out of other people's money".
