Ontario Liberal Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia With the Liberals consolidated as the primary opposition to Harris's Progressive Conservatives, McGuinty was able to present his party as the "government in waiting". The Liberal Party of Ontario is descended from the Reform Party of Robert Baldwin and William Lyon Mackenzie, who argued for responsible government in the 1830s and 1840s against the conservative patrician rule of the Family Compact. The Liberals continued to decline after losing power, and, for a time, were eclipsed by the United Farmers of Ontario (UFO) when the Liberals were unable to attract the growing farmers' protest movement to its ranks. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ontario_Liberal_Party   (2518 words)

Progressive Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Liberals had always viewed the Progressives as simply 'Liberals in a hurry', and for a large group of the party's supporters, this was true. In the 1934 provincial election the remaining Progressive MPPs under Harry Nixon ran as Liberal-Progressives in an alliance with the Ontario Liberal Party led by former UFO member Mitch Hepburn. The Progressive Party was founded in 1920 by Thomas Crerar, a former Minister of Agriculture in the Unionist government of Robert Borden. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Progressive_Party_of_Canada   (1426 words)

Political progressivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term progressive is popular in Australia, since many on the left usually support either the Labor Party, the Democrats or the Greens, opposed to the right-wing Liberal Party of Australia. Progressive Party, which refers to 3 different parties of different periods, to see how the term progressive has been used in political campaigns in the past. Progressives in the US were strong in the early parts of the 20th century. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Progressivism   (598 words)

What's In A Name? Everything. 'Liberal' is probably too tainted a term to resurrect for a generation, and so we should proudly describe ourselves as progressives, and insist that others, especially in the media, do the same. Third, progressives are losing the framing contest at the long-term, grand strategic level as well, as the right has stage-managed another miraculous accomplishment by successfully portraying their broad movement as a people's populism, hiding its true purpose of engorging the gluttonous economic elite it actually serves. Given these criteria, and that we do and should describe ourselves as progressives, I propose that one of the easiest and smartest single moves we can make toward winning the political war in which we are engaged is to start calling our opponents 'regressives' instead of conservatives. www.commondreams.org /views05/0208-21.htm   (2380 words)

Lapis Magazine, Article by Ralph Nader My second point is that progressives or liberals are often so overwhelmed by the brilliance of their diagnosis and analysis on the concentration of power and wealth, multi-national corporations and the many abuses and injustices that they never get to their next step. Despite this liberal progress, why are the conservative corporatists and their vocal chords on cable TV and Fox Views lording over the liberal progressives in this society, who are openly apologetic, defensive and having conversations with their opponents that include the phrase, "yes, but." This is why history is so important. The farmer's progressive movement, while it did have certain conservative strains that today we would call racist, had an overall goal to take power away from the big railroads and banks, and reform the political process to include a direct democracy. www.lapismagazine.org /naderprint.html   (4206 words)

Grove City College Liberals, who dominate the bureaucratic hierarchy in mainline churches, reluctantly enforce rules progressives find objectionable, such as those forbidding ordination self-affirming, unrepentant homosexuals and forbidding gay marriage. Liberals respond that because Christians generally do not adhere to other passages in Leviticus that forbid eating meat containing blood, wearing clothes of mixed weave or having intercourse with a woman during menstruation, it is inconsistent if not hypocritical for conservatives to hold to one portion of the Bible while not abiding by the others. Liberals, more than conservatives, embrace political activism and are more likely to incorporate it into their church missions. www.gcc.edu /news/faculty/editorials/tilford_bishop.htm   (1013 words)

Martin Gottlieb: LIBERAL, CONSERVATIVE -- Terms of Debate need Definition (insurgent warning) President Taft, for example, spoke of himself as a "liberal in the construction of the Constitution with reference to Federal power," to distinguish himself from those who were "liberal" in expansion of federal powers into the States, the progressives. Liberalism is distinguished from socialism, which likewise professes to strive for the good of all, not by the goal at which it aims, but by the means that it chooses to attain that goal. When the liberal advises against certain popular measures because he expects harmful consequences from them, he is censured as an enemy of the people, and praise is heaped on the demagogues who, without consideration of the harm that will follow, recommend what seems to be expedient for the moment. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/974657/posts   (4204 words)

The Democracy Center If liberal progressives would learn not just to "speak conservative" - transparent rhetorical tweaking will backfire - but also to thoughtfully understand and make common cause with conservative progressives, a GOP administration could be steered toward its best progressive instincts, rather than cast off to its worst elements. Progressives should be encouraged that Bush, in his first term, put minorities in charge of all of his leading international and domestic agendas - national security, international diplomacy, education, not just talking about empowering minorities, but also putting them in positions of real authority. Progressives should be encouraged that those once on the margins of society have joined the political mainstream. www.democracyctr.org /contest/if.htm   (737 words)

progress.htm Progressive education took issue with the fact that parents were not the best judge of what their children should learn in school, the Progressives openly declared that they were the appropriate group to make the decisions concerning the educational experiences of the children. A liberal is an individual who really believes that by seeking ways and means to reform the existing order of things a better, more efficient, more satisfying way of conducting the affairs of an individual, of a society, of a nation will be achieved. The domestic reforms advocated by the Progressives required the acceptance of the conversion of the Federal-Republic into a Political Democracy; the Foreign Reforms advocated by the Progressives required the abandonment of the Foreign Policy identified as Internationalism and in its place the acceptance of the Foreign Policy identified as Imperial Interventionism. home.att.net /~msociable/progress.htm   (9842 words)

LIBERAL FORUM - The Liberal talk & political forum Liberalism is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right by which the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry that has ever resounded on this planet. A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future. As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. liberalforum.org   (520 words)

David Campbell When the provincial Liberals merged with John Bracken's Progressives in 1932, Campbell led a group of dissident, anti-merger Liberals into the subsequent election. Some within the new "Liberal-Progressive" alliance claimed that the party was receiving financial support from the province's Conservatives, as a means of dividing the Liberal vote. The "Continuity Liberals" ceased to exist after the election, and the "Liberal-Progressives" remained in government until 1958. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/d/da/david_campbell.html   (185 words)

Liberal Vs. Conservative Liberals (in American usage) are those who tend to favor government intervention as the response to any issue, while conservatives tend to favor private initiative and voluntary action. There is, for example, no inherent reason why liberals who favor government regulation of the economy should oppose virtually all government regulations of abortion, or why conservatives who oppose government regulation of the economy should favor government regulation of abortion. Liberals generally favor a reduction of choice in the economic realm, while conservatives tend to favor more choice. www.writersbbs.com /members/gideonfell/LibVsCon.html   (838 words)

The false world view of liberal progressives With the exception of a few philosophers, most liberal progressives were vague about what their utopia would be like. Liberals are not capable of framing the problem this way because of their topsy-turvy world view and their knee-jerk bias against America. Syndicated columnist Thomas Sowell's critique of the liberal bias towards "change," and the predilection for "root causes" was a barn-burner. www.renewamerica.us /columns/hutchison/040708   (2525 words)

Articles - Liberal-Progressive Mackenzie King's Liberals alone did not have a majority of seats in the House of Commons after the 1926 election, but were able to form a minority government (that was for all intents and purposes a majority government) with the support of the Liberal-Progressives in the house. In the 1926 election, a total of 11 candidates ran as Liberal Progressive: eight in Manitoba (the entire Progressive contingent who had decided to nominate joint candidates with the Liberals), all of whom were elected, and three unsuccessful candidates in Ontario. In the 1940 election, two Liberal Progressives ran in Manitoba, of whom one was elected. www.poncier.com /articles/Liberal-Progressive   (697 words)

FRAMESHOP: Frameshop: Liberal Progressives are liberal on supporting the needs of people, liberal on support of the planet, liberal on democracy. I believe this country was founded by progressives on political ideals that were extremely liberal for their day and conservatives have fought and resisted every progressive effort to truly help an empower the people (womens' suffrage, civil rights, voting rights, social security, etc.) every step of the way. Since we prefer to be called Progressives, why not refer to them as "Regressives?" That describes perfectly their desire to turn the clock back to the days of McKinley and take away all the social (progressive) reforms of the past century. jeffrey-feldman.typepad.com /frameshop/2005/02/frameshop_liber.html   (1025 words)

MyDD :: Conservative Students Out-Organizing Progressives Liberal or progressives who work for non-profits or dem groups are barely paid if they get paid at all. The built-in progressive advantage in higher education goes a long way toward obscuring how conservatives on campus are organizing their progressive adversaries into the ground. Last week Jerome wrote about how progressive success with the netroots had led to progressive parity with conservatives in fundraising and, maybe, volunteer activist labor for campaigns. www.mydd.com /story/2004/8/31/0045/14104   (1356 words)

Liberal conservatives: Many evangelicals are liberal when it comes to the church Liberals today prefer to be called "progressives." They want to escape the negative connotations that have risen around the name for their ideology. The term "progressive" does capture an important part of the liberals' worldview. While progressive churches are moving along at a fast clip in the 'modern' world with 'modern' thinkers 'keeping up with the latest often imprudent 'modern' fad - the leaders of these progressive bodies of religion/dogma have left little time for their followers to find and nurture their faith in God and enjoy His grace. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/1438970/posts   (2768 words)

The Fight for Tolerance Liberal progressives have some work to do to put their own house in order: tolerance and respect are not due just to ethnicity but also to faith. Far from a decline in religion, we are seeing a powerful re-emergence of it in grotesquely distorted modern form, and the liberal progressives ensconced in the global anomaly of a secularised western Europe are hopelessly illiterate in understanding the religious imagination and how its traditions are being so grossly betrayed. These are uncomfortable times for that school of liberal thought which believes in progress and whose triumphalism of the past decade now looks so callow, with its assumptions about the capacity of the market economy to deliver wealth and political progress across the globe. www.buzzle.com /editorials/1-20-2003-33956.asp?viewPage=2   (608 words)

Articles - Murdoch Mackay By this time, the Liberals and Progressives of Manitoba were already co-operating at the federal level; national Liberal leader William Lyon Mackenzie King wanted the same alliance at the provincial level to prevent a Conservative victory in the next election. He led the Manitoba Liberal Party from 1931 to 1932, and brought the party into an alliance with John Bracken's Progressives. The Liberals joined the government in early 1932, and two members of the party were brought into cabinet. lastring.com /articles/Murdoch_Mackay?mySession=56b8d7d715eb9474e0cc...   (308 words)

How to Save the World Radical progressives could do as much damage to their cause through ill-conceived extremism, elitism, or intellectual condescension as radical conservatives did to theirs when they bombed abortion clinics and the Oklahoma federal building, took up vigilantism and started dressing in fatigues and calling themselves 'militias'. And while progressive fence-sitters may arguably be useless to the radical movement, their anger (and feelings of betrayal) could very seriously hamper that movement. David Weinberger recently noted a new GNN article by Frances Moore Lappé (Diet for a Small Planet) questioning whether Lakoff's strict-father conservative and nurturing-parent liberal metaphors were the right ones to use at all. blogs.salon.com /0002007/categories/politicsEconomics/2005/01/14.html   (1384 words)

Articles - Laurent Desjardins This was the year of Progressive Conservative Premier Dufferin Roblin's first majority win, and Desjardins joined ten other Liberal-Progressives in the official opposition. Desjardins held a membership in the federal Liberal Party for most, if not all of time in the provincial NDP, and openly supported Liberal Lloyd Axworthy's successful bid to enter the Canadian House of Commons in 1979. Desjardins was easily re-elected in the 1977 election, although Schreyer's New Democrats were defeated provincially by the Progressive Conservatives under Sterling Lyon. lastring.com /articles/Laurent_Desjardins?mySession=4f4f6ea72ec80382...   (1305 words)

Valley Advocate: Did You Say "Liberal Democrats"? Last month, PDS, along with Progressive Democrats of Cambridge and Citizens for Participation in Political Action (CPPAX), released a scorecard that rates Democratic legislators on their adherence to the party platform (www.massscorecard.org). While the party's official platform is decidedly progressive, plenty of members support the death penalty and oppose abortion rights or gun control. Other progressive Dems have not been so embraced by the Democratic establishment -- like Progressive Democrats of Somerville, which, like PDM, was founded by former Reich organizers who wanted to preserve that campaign's energy. www.valleyadvocate.com /gbase/News/content?oid=oid:87426   (2274 words)

Burnt Orange Report: Comment on In Defence of Liberalism I have many people in my life that are liberal, and for some reason they do the same thing that the afore article does, take credit for certain historical events that may or may not have been devised and carried out by “liberals”. And the word "liberal" is meaningless, since its historical meaning more closely describes conservatism of the semi-libertarian variety, but in actual, present day use is simply an ad hominem dismissal. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being liberal but I don't see why they seemingly take all the credit for things in the US that are good. www.burntorangereport.com /mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=354   (1588 words)

The Covert Family Website U.S. was founded as a liberal republic, but nowadays, a “liberal” risks being stoned to death in the public square by admitting to “liberalism.” “Liberal” has become “the L-word,” like some four-letter vulgarity unutterable in front of the children. Democrats and progressives are sure to insist that the term “secular Left” just won’t stick, as soon as rank-and-file Americans grasp the significance of a nation divided between the Bill of Rights and the Holy Bible. Likewise, the great right-wing machine of semantic revision—with often unwitting and uncritical assistance from TV news—has turned a progressive tax on extreme inherited wealth into a “death tax” that—mythically—robs middle-class Americans of their mom-and-pop candy stores and family farms. www.jakecovert.com /index.php?/rev2/C10   (3896 words)

Isabella II. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 Isabella’s rule was one of party conflicts among moderates, progressives, and liberal unionists and of continuous cabinet changes. These Spanish marriages, which contravened earlier Anglo-French agreements about the choice of husbands for the two sisters, aroused the anger of England, who feared a Franco-Spanish rapprochement, and caused a temporary severance of the entente between England and France. www.bartleby.com /65/is/Isabella2.html   (245 words)

National Liberal Party (Germany) - Enpsychlopedia It was formed by those Prussian liberals who put aside their differences with Bismarck over domestic policy due to their support for his highly successful foreign policy, which resulted in the unification of Germany. The National Liberals' period of great dominance was between 1871 and 1879, when they were Bismarck's chief allies in the Reichstag, and were avid supporters of the Kulturkampf. Bismarck broke with the Liberals in 1879, when he turned to protection, which violated the free trade principles of the National Liberals. psychcentral.com /psypsych/wiki/National_Liberal_Party_(Germany)   (279 words)

THE BRAD BLOG: "'Hannity & Colmes' to Stack Election Eve Deck!!!" The perception of "liberal media bias" is so ingrained in the otherwise simple rightwing mentation that one should never expect other than an attack when pointing out to the simple ones, that they have transgressed; and a nuclear response should one point out that they transgress consistently, persistently, and as a matter of policy. There are plenty of progressive political consultants and journalists they could have on to counter Rove and Kristol. Franken had said some unkind things about Colmes performance as a "liberal" on the show. www.bradblog.com /archives/00000855.htm   (2206 words)
