In reply to the discussion: Anyone else have a problem [View all]Nuclear Unicorn
(19,497 posts)76. You really have nothing except insults. You started the argument claiming the mere presence of guns
leads to homicides. Yet, when your own arguments demonstrated this to not be the case you get nasty and continue your farcical charade of being the sole decider of who can and cannot be a Progressive (while making the Republican billionaire Bloomberg -- who instituted stop and frisk to harass minorities -- an honorary Progressive).
Progressives rely on facts and allow facts, not their emotions, to determine their position. Progressives do not need to rely on insults in a sad attempt to brow-beat people into not speaking their minds. Progressives do not seek to dominate, manipulate and control every facet of people's lives. Progressives recognize a woman's right to exert control over her own body.
YOU are not a Progressive.
