43. Possessing a card which proclaims the word ''progressive'' on it.....
Thu Jun 12, 2014, 03:41 PM

...doesn't make one a progressive. Just someone with a card that says that word on it. A real-world example would be: To say that a card saying ''Third-way Democrat'' makes one a ''Democrat.'' Nothing could be further from the truth. They're just someone using the word to achieve ends that run totally counter to the purpose of that party's existence. For the people, not for the corporations.

So you say it is the Kremlin's propaganda RT is reporting here on Putin's orders? Hillary's own recorded words being played back now, is somehow a plot against her hatched by Putin? How imaginative. Could be true I suppose. I mean I'm sure Putin lies awake at night worrying what Hillary's going to do next.

Oh, btw, no one called anyone a user of any drugs. He said, ''almost'' -- that's not the same as ''is.'' (You should do some work on your tenses).

- And you need to edit your post, because your last words aren't allowed here in that context when directed at someone.....


Have a nice day!
