There never was an America before the progressive movement. In fact, the founding of America was the beginning of the Progressive movement. And while we're still not to the place, largely because of so called "conservatives" in our midst holding progress back, where every man, woman and child may have at least health, safety and dignity even if they don't have wealth - we're closer to it than ever.

And if this great experiment we call America has proven anything, it's that progress is always made, eventually, in a democracy. The forces of greed, backwards thought, and all we falsely call "conservativism" these days can hold progress back for a time, but for them it has been historically and will continue to be a losing battle. Here is the historical fact... Since America came to be, progressives have always ultimately prevailed. Issue by issue, we progressives have always won in time, and in time we will win on every issue.
