But he's "Progressive"!

"Although Republicans portray it as yet another example of Obama's socialist tendencies, his G.M. plan reveals him to be deeply conservative. He can imagine a world in which the internal combustion engine is obsolete but not one in which G.M. is" -- Reason Magazine's Jacob Sullum

I liked this quote. It underscores a theme I like to occasionally hit at on this blog - the false claim in the current liberal mentality they their ideas are progressive. Progressive, to me, means moving forward to a better reality. To the New Left, progress is moving toward a stronger, more all-encompassing government and getting rid of those conservative, out-dated ideas of individual liberty, personal property, and self-determination.

That's not progress. In fact, it harkens not to the bold experiment that is America, but to the Dark Ages when centralized powers dictated how lives were to be led.
