Two points Rad
1) Why is left leaning change automatically assigned the phrase "progress"? You don't make dramatic changes in your own life very often, in fact, you probably carefully consider the ramifications of "hope and change" before you alter your previous choices and more often than not, you don't "change". Change for the sake of change rarely turns out good. Just exactly where has this "progress" brought us to? Are you going to celebrate a pervert calling himself a girl and going into female dressing rooms? That's progress? Massive cradle-to-grave bankrupting entitlements is progress? A federal minimum wage that will throw hundreds of thousands out of work (Congressional interns exempted of course), a healthcare system that's forcing working class into the ranks of uninsured while the 94 million not in the workforce rake in part of my tax contribution? You mean that progress?
2) The right always ends up comprising, the left rarely or never does. The left sits on a tiny moral foundation so its not an issue to them. Once you have a stated position a woman with an unborn child can kill it at anytime and for any reason and now the killers can make even more money off that death by selling the parts, tell just exactly what it is that the left finds so dehumanizing that they won't go there?
Thanks for making my point, you are obviously on the right and and skew your venomous language and facts in that direction. I said nothing about the Transgender issue, nor any specific issue for that matter did I?
The truth is the Right almost never compromises, they are usually forced there by court orders (e.g. desegregation) and even then try try to ignore or circumvent the orders (e.g. Gay marriage). Not all left ideas are progress, I love meat, drink beer and drive a gasoline vehicle. Again, not all left ideas are labeled progress, some are just Left Wing radicalism (Federal Student Lunch Program) just like the Right wing garbage. The left has to try and use court orders when society pushes back instead of social education initiatives.
This is further evidenced by your use of abusive vitriol. A transgender is not automatically a pervert, they are a human that looks at the world from a different perspective than you do. I don't think any law will keep a pervert from acting like a pervert. I lean to a reasonable progressive stance (Not Left) and don't agree with the bathroom issue, I think a 3rd bathroom option (Trans, Confused.. small winky) is the only reasonable compromise presented, with the existing bathrooms being biology based.
And FYI: There are no cradle-to-grave bankrupting entitlements, More right wing garbage talk. That ended with the Welfare reform act under Bill Clinton, 20 years ago+... get your poison in the right bottles
Perverts, Killers... excitement words... Hundreds of thousands out of work? Where is the statistics from a neutral party? That happened under the watch or the Right if I remember correctly... I recall the Right taking a Budget that was Balanced through Left/Right negotiation in the late 90's and giving it all away in the form of Tax cuts to the rich in the early 2000's.
As for progress, lets talk the environment, water is cleaner, air is cleaner, pesticide use is regulated. Society: Desegregation, Child Labor, Woman's Suffrage, cigarette smoking is on the decline... Many of these took Decades to implement and enough of society had to be ready for them in order for them to work. Some might still resist to this day but it would be a very small minority and most would agree that these things have made the USA better place.
So, Left is Left, Right is Right, and Progress is Progress. Progress has been proposed under both Right and Left administrations and neither side gets to claim Progress exclusively.
And to again state my point, which you have proved nicely, the extremism of the Left and the Rights and their inability to find middle ground is what is stratifying and destroying this country. Name calling and vitriol needs to be kept on the elementary school playground and issues need to be resolved using diplomatic discussion and with all parties viewpoints given weight. And this is something I don't think any of our current candidates are capable of.
