Compassionate Conservative--HA!

People in power in Washington like to tout themselves as CONSERVATIVES. When Bush recommended Samuel Alito to be the next Supreme Court justice he chose not just a conservative but a REGRESSIVE-CONSERVATIVE. If you watched any of the Alito hearings you saw that the Democrats were trying to show his regressive nature. His touting being a member of the group Concerned Alumni of Princeton on an application for a job in the Reagan White House shows that he knew that this would impress the people in power then. Of course he claimed that he did not know why he put it on his resume or that the group wanted to stop women and minorities from being admitted into Princeton. The group’s goal was a regressive move to take Princeton back in time to when white men were the only ones getting a Princeton education.
What I am trying to show here is that in Washington today we do not just have conservatives running our country but a group of regressive-conservatives. These are the most dangerous type of people that could be running our country. They will stop at nothing to return things to the way they were in “The good old days.” I will now show you some pictures and you can label them with 2 of the definitions from the group below.

1. Conservative-Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.

2. Regressive-Tending to return or revert.

3. Liberal- a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.
b.Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.
4. Progressive-Moving forward; advancing.
