The equation may be simpler than that:

!Regressive (aka “liberal”, aka “progressive” — for they are neither) = Terrorist

This would explain why they oppose some whites, some blacks, some hispanics, et al. I am certain Bob would concur. Although,

White & !Regressive = Terrorist,

seems to be their favorite target.

Why these regressives regurgitate failed policies and theories of the past is beyond me. The policies of discrimination, intimidation, exploitation, persecution, etc., sabotage the progress we have made, and prevent progression to something altogether better.

Anger + white + gun = Right wing Christian

The guy who removed the abortionist from this world may have been conservative; but, it was his life he knowingly sacrificed for the justice he sought, and society denied. However, the guy at the Holocaust Museum was most certainly “liberal” or “progressive”, a remnant of the Nazis from yesteryear. He is a descendant of those regressives, and his heritage and ancestry lies with them.

These reports confirm what cannot be denied, and that is Salon and CNN are irrelevant as independent soures of news reporting. They still serve some use as diversity resources, which can be used to contrast between reality and the regressive fantasy.

The problem with the “liberal”/”progressive” versus conservative debate, is that by definition, liberal and progressive termed ideologies are so appealing to the mind seeking enlightenment. It is unfortunate that the “liberals”/”progressives” are neither liberal, nor progressive. Once again, history reflects this in conservatives being both liberal and progressive. The difference lies in the rate of progression. In most systems, and certainly in human society, progression at a fast rate will, with great likelihood, result in failure and ultimately self-destruction. There was never a human being alive, nor presently living, that can master all the variables in our system. This necessitates a conservative progression in order to minimize runaway feedback, which will ultimately undermine the system. This, in a nutshell, is the reason for success of conservative principles in the real world. Well that and we accept and live in the real world, with all its flaws and marvels.
