You Have to Wonder About Self-Proclaimed Progressives

Excerpt: You have to wonder about self-proclaimed "progressives." Take Matthew Rothschild, for example. He's a self-proclaimed progressive. He's the editor of the so-called Progressive Magazine.

He has written an editorial in the current issue (April 2008) of the magazine titled "Don't Worry About Ralph."

In it, Rothschild claims that "to the extent that there is anything like a progressive movement going on right now, it is foursquare behind Obama."

Rothschild must be plugged in.

The question is - to what?

Nader/Gonzalez have put together a campaign to push for public health insurance (single-payer), to cut the bloated, wasteful military budget, to reverse U.S. policy in the Middle East, to take nuclear power off the table and to put solar energy on the table, to repeal the anti-union Taft-Hartley law, and to impeach Bush/Cheney.

Obama stands with Clinton and McCain against Nader/Gonzalez on all of these issues.

Rothschild says he barely knows "anyone who has voted for Nader in the past who will vote for him this time."

That's because Rothschild is living in his little viral liberal bubble - where the anti-Nader virus has taken hold and won't let go.
