Danger! Conservative Group names itself "Progress for America"
excerpt from the PR Newswire

"With today's FEC decision, Progress for America will become even more
active than ever and will continue to take a leadership role to promote public
policies that improve the lives of every American, such as stimulating the
economy, reducing the tax burden on families and businesses, encouraging free
trade, reforming and improving education and winning the war on terror,"
McCabe promised.
Progress for America, Inc., a diverse coalition of concerned citizens,
businesses, nonprofit organizations and community leaders, is a 501(c)(4)
nonprofit organization formed in 2001.

1. War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.
Orwell got there first.

And a whole mess of anti-environmental groups are named as if they were pro-environmental. This is old stuff for Republicans.

7. Progression is regression.
We progress by regressing from all of the social programs instituted over the last 100 years which have improved worker conditions, education, and the general welfare of Americans.

"Unfortunately, America is hearing only one side of the story. Americans
deserve more than a one-sided debate bankrolled by George Soros and some of
the most extreme liberal voices in America," McCabe added.
"Liberals have distorted the issues debate," McCabe said. "Progress for
America will set the record straight by making sure that American families
have the information they need to see through the liberals' distortions,"
McCabe added.

3. Good News!
You know we're winning the cultural battle if they have to adopt our terminology to compete.

TV enlivens and awakens the human soul.

Gas prices will soon plummet.

Bush's tax cut for the rich is about to kick in and goose the economy into high gear.

Prosperity is just around the corner.

Reactionaries favor progress.
