Socialism isn’t progressive

If the Democratic Party was a food, the FDA and FCC would be all over them like anger on Howard Dean for deceptive labeling and falsely advertising their party as “progressive” and “pro-choice.” Since when has repackaging socialism been “progressive?” If anything their policies are regressive, all the way back to when Karl Marx was writing his Communist Manifesto. Forcing every American, whether they need it or not, into a VA style single-payer/no-choice healthcare system is hardly a “progressive” solution. Democrats are pro-choice on the abortion issue, but that is about it. Republican’s on the other hand are pro school choice, pro social security choice, pro Medicare choice, pro tobacco/smoking choice, pro free trade and increasing consumer choices, pro tax cuts and allowing taxpayers to choose how to spend the money they earned, pro hiring or admitting the most qualified person choice (as opposed to a dictatorial quota) and pro choice on unilateral use of the military (as opposed to having to ask the UN’s permission). While Democrats may talk the pro-choice talk, Republicans walk the progressive pro-choice walk. Republicans are the truly progressive pro-choice party.
