A progressive (now) is a conservative of the early 1900's: one who wants to conserve what WAS: the security of a small town, the service ethic, clean water and air, quiet and clean commons and wildlands, honesty in private and business exchanges, and motives and intentions supporting a secure and just life style, rather than bottom line adventurism and insecurity posing as wealth and control.A progressive wants 'Liberty and justice for all,' and knows that such a system can only be acheived when there is liberty and justice BY all, or at least by the majority.
