What is it to be Progressive ~
- It is to be tolerant 24/7. That is the intent of genuine progressive philosophy.
- In modern times, we've been distracted from this primary tenet by those who've divided this nation in their quest for political power. This is the central issue of George Orwell's writings.
- To be Progressive, to be tolerant, is to emotionally and intellectually understand that no one is perfect: That everyone makes mistakes.
- Though not perfect, Progressives work at discovering their own bias, then work to mitigate it.
- Progressives will do their best to offer an open hand, before a closed fist.
- Progressives understand the power of forgiveness.
- Progressives work to recognize propaganda, no matter the type, no matter the source, and refuse to engage in it.
- A Progressive knows that a functioning democracy is the representation of many voices, and that there are potentially as many views as there are people.
- Progressives understand that attitudes which demand that people think a certain way, are fundamentally totitarian.
- Progressives accept this as a fundamental truth, and recognize that by respecting others as fellow human beings and not the "enemy," the door to understanding is open.
- Rather then blame, the goal of Progressives is to get all people, no matter their origin, to work together in an effort to solve the common problems we all face.
- Progressives understand that patronizing, name calling, and denigration. no matter the source, impede the advance of progress.
- Progressives understand that real progress takes time. There are no calls for bloody insurrections or revolt. George F. Spicka 11/11/2016
