Them "modern, progressive" Dems ...

Julie Ponzi gives us a good heads-up 'bout Hillary and her ilk:

"Hillary Clinton is out there the last few days touting her 'modern'and 'Progressive' views and explaining (in her tedious and obfuscating way) why those views are representative of the best of America. Hmmmmm -- not so fast. For most Americans not well versed in the various eras of American history, the term 'progressive' suggests an unqualified good. It suggests the opposite of 'regressive' or backwards, for example. But in American politics the term 'progressive' is (as most terms are) a loaded one. To get a better idea of what I’m talking about, take a look at this talk offered given recently at the Heritage Foundation by Tom West of the University of Dallas and William Schambra of the Hudson Institute. Then, the next time you hear a liberal brag about their 'progressive' views ask yourself what it is, exactly, they seek to progress toward. You can be sure of this much: it’ll be costly."
