	AlterNet: WireTap: What is Progressive?
		Progressives aren't simply liberals; progressives see the world for what it is, accept it as ever-changing and dynamic, and choose the best course of action in line with decidedly American values.
		Progress is deep set in a "progressive vs conservative" (AKA "good vs bad") dichotomy, maintains the pretense of having THE absolute answers, and is dedicated to the authoritarian imposition of such.
		The progressive solutions I mentioned above are also simple, but it is because, at their heart, the strategy is simple (which is to encourage people to thoughtfully consider whether their actions are for the best good), the solutions inherently develop a flexibility that meets the needs of the people.

	National Review Online (http://www.nationalreview.com)
		Recently, I wrote on NRO about the decision of Canada's two right-of-center parties, the Progressive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance, to merge into one entity, to be called the Conservative Party of Canada.
		The Progressive Conservatives (known as the Tories) need a two-thirds majority to get the deal through, while the Canadian Alliance needs only 50 percent.
		I think the optimistic position of conservatives like Adam Daifallah should be replaced with a more realistic vision — the parties' differences far outweigh the similarities, meaning the merger could quickly become a failed experiment.
