Not the ostensible foundation, the functional foundation. I should have specified.

Lol what does the functional foundation of progressivism yield?!?

Are you trying to ask, "What is the functional foundation of progressivism?" This is an odd thing to say, since I was making a joke about how conservative politicians use platitudes about liberty and freedom (i.e. ostensible foundation), while simultaneously relying on people's selfishness and prejudice to garner real support (i.e. functional foundation). I think you may be under-equipped to continue this exchange, no? It's like talking to high-school kids on this forum...

No, I'm asking what the progressive foundations yield. What does the world look like when humans operate on those ideals?

But it seems you've answered my question for me. They turn out to be self-indulgent dicks who contribute little to nothing to society. They sit, at 29, in basements collecting food stamps while working part time jobs complaining about those of us who succeed in life.

You claim concepts like liberty are mere political platitudes. That is the most cynical and ungrateful shit I've ever heard. Look at the life you lead!

I think you might be under-equipped for life. Grow a pair instead of eternally being a victim.

And by the way, from all of us who pay your way, you're fucking welcome.

Since you don't know what the rest of the world is like, I guess I will have to use the power of raw data to educate you. Please do not respond until you can define the Lorenz curve.
Winning arguments is simultaneously easy and hard when one side has no grip on reality.

That's what I thought...lol. Here let me show you how a conversation usually goes with a liberal:

Liberal: Conservatism is stupid. It is full of red-necked hillbillies and old white people who believe in Jesus and watch NASCAR.

Conservative: Why would you say that? I, myself, am a college educated individual with a degree in Political Science. Let's discuss this and find out why you think this way.

Liberal: Shut up racist!

Was I close...lol.

Pretty much dead on. Liberal intelligence is both an oxymoron and a ponzi scheme. Nothing but a giant circle jerk.

Good luck bog, I'm out for the afternoon!

sigh if only everyone would hate all non-white, non-english speaking people who aren't christians like us the world would be a better place.

get the fuck out of here deadbeat. the best part is that america is going to be a MAJORITY latino in the next 20 years. these GOP poster boys will be shitting their pants in their shantys in nebraska and arkansas as they hold their weekly clan rallies at their local church (aka pedophile relocation program)
