WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE CALLED “PROGRESSIVES”?
So-called progressives are expected to deliver progress, but these days most of those who describe themselves as such are more likely to deliver anarchy.
Darializa Avila Chevalier wants to unseat Democrat incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, a New York congressman. She says “A world without borders—just like a world without prisons or police—is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.”
She wants taxpayer-funded abortion, an end to support for Israel, legalized prostitution, and the right of males to shower with females. She also hates America, saying it is a “f***ing disgrace.” She won the backing of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Maureen Galindo recently ran unsuccessfully in the Democrat runoff primary for a congressional seat in Texas. She said we need to imprison Zionists and castrate Jewish men.
New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver recently won 87 percent of the vote in her reelection bid for Congress, despite the fact—or because of it—she recently assaulted a law enforcement officer; she is facing up to 17 years in prison.
Graham Platner is running for Senate in Maine. He calls himself a communist, wears a Nazi tattoo, admits to taking cocaine while serving in the Marines, is accused by multiple women of sexually assaulting them, likes to masturbate in port o johns, sides with Hamas, calls Jesus a “zombie,” and labels Our Blessed Mother a “skank.”
Chris Rabb won the Democratic primary for a congressional seat in a Philadelphia district. He is an advocate of sex-reassignment surgery for children, is rabidly pro-abortion, wants to abolish Columbus Day, hates Israel, supports national grocery stores, says corporate CEOs “should fry,” and has campaigned with Hasan Piker (who says “America deserved 9/11”).
James Talarico is running for Senate in Texas. He claims to be a “deeply religious” Christian who supports genital mutilation, chemical castration and puberty blockers for disturbed young people, says there are six sexes (he now says there are two), wants to allow sexually explicit material—but not the Ten Commandments—in the schools, and says abortion-on-demand should be legal, claiming God gave the Virgin Mary the right to abort Jesus.
When I was in the Air Force, I had a chance to shake hands with presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy. He was campaigning in northern California in 1968; shortly thereafter he was assassinated in Los Angeles. He was known as a “progressive.”
It is a sure bet that Kennedy would have absolutely nothing to do with those who call themselves “progressives” today. Indeed, he would be revolted by their behavior and their policies.
