Calling a spade a spade…

Let’s start calling things what the really are, eh? I’ll start:
Progressive = Permissive: The socio-political movement that claims to have the corner on social progress–the self-proclaimed progressive movement–has one philosophy as its core value: anthing that makes you feel good is good. I’ve already posted on this, but I’ll reiterate. The term progressive has been usurped by liberals to mean permissive in support of their “anything goes” world view. So from now on, let’s call them the permissive movement and save the term progressive for those philosophies that actually engender progress.
Pro-choice = Anti-consequence: The truth is that everyone is pro-choice. Even in the context of abortion, where everyone is conveniently classified as either pro-choice or pro-life everyone is really pro-choice. The only variable is what choice. “Pro-choice” proponents claim that the choice is about whether or not they should have to carry a baby to full-term when they end up pregnant. “Pro-life” proponents recognize a baby–even unborn–as a human life and therefore claim no right to terminate that human life simply out of some bogus sense of right to choose. The reality of the pro-abortion establishment is that it is not pro-choice; it is pro my choice and my choice only. What they are really saying is they want to be able to live however they want, without consequences. So, from now on instead of calling anyone pro-choice, we will call them anti-consequence.
Liberal = ACPG (Anti-Consequence Permissive Genius): From now on, in keeping with the tradition of balling everyone up into one classification or another, we will use the terms liberal and ACPG interchangeably. I don’t think it’s necessary to completely eliminate the use of the term liberal, but often I will opt for ACPG which encompasses all of the new designations defined here above. Of course, it is recognized that in this contenxt the term genius carries a decidedly sarcastic tone.
