A Centennial Verdict on Progressivism (1912-2012)
[M]odern progressives have not so much dispensed with imperialism as they have changed its focus: from foreign policy to domestic. Today’s progressives favor a vast extension of power domestically rather than abroad.

Racing Down the Slippery Slope
“Progressives” believe that mankind is on a steady and inevitable march towards utopia. Only by eliminating our dependence on the “God of the gaps” and learning to place faith in ourselves can we achieve true actualization as a species.
