In a Pew research poll just released, it is discovered that the terms “Progressive”, “Civil Liberties”, and “Civil Rights” have very positive images as concepts, despite the cynicism and broad criticism of many conservatives and Republicans to all three terms!
The concept of “Progressive” is favored 68-23–imagine that, by two thirds of those polled! 🙂
By 76-14, the term “Civil Liberties” is supported, despite constant attacks on the American Civil Liberties Union by those on the Right! 🙂
By a 87-10 margin, the term “Civil Rights” is backed as a good concept, despite the thought of many on the Right that only minorities are represented by that concept!
The term “Militia” is seen negatively by 65-21, and the term “Libertarian” is positive only by one point, 38-37!
Meanwhile, “Capitalism” has only a 52-37 positive image, not surprising after the many abuses by banks and corporations in recent years, causing the Great Recession!
So just maybe the idea that the “Progressive” view lacks support is a total falsehood! 🙂
As a “Progressive”, this has been a good day indeed! 🙂 LOL Hooray!
