Progressive vs. Conservative Thinking!

PROGRESSIVE vs. CONSERVATIVE THINKING


This "question" has been thought about, written about, and talked about since I was a little boy, growing up in the 1930's and 1940's when FDR was our President - and folks were either loving or hating him! Now, we have President Obama looking for his second term - and folks either loving or hating him!

The "question" has still not been answered for me, and now I am 81 years and still waiting?

I, would think that most of the folks at the low level, that have really difficult problems with food, medical, housing, education and low end earnings would go with leaders like FDR and Obama when going to "vote progressive" - but it seems that its more likely, about 50/50, with a few folks swaying back and forth every 4 years, still not really being able to see where the "butter" should be "spread"!

I, would think that most of the folks from the "middle" would also side with the "progressive" thinking, like FDR and Obama when going to "vote" - but the seems more likely that it will be about the same, as the preceding paragraph!

It seems that there probably must be some really "murky" thoughts "slinking" through many folks's minds that are led by really "Bad" leaders - perhaps "mind washing" might be a good "thought" to help answer my own "question"!

    PAPAFOOTE's Interests:

    About Me: "The Old Goat" Since my Joanna has let go of her life, Charlie (my little companion dog) and I (Papa Foote, "The Traveling Man") were still walking down the "road of live" - smelling the thoughts of the world. But now, since my stroke has started to creep into my old body, my mind is still with the "Eagles Flying Higher" but mostly, I just want to try to squeeze my thinking and writing into just a few words that count towards a better world - like no more anger and selfish thinking that comes from warring between human clans instead of helping each other in our World! My choices are my own - from my inner-self! "Thoughts" Plant Kiindness and Harvest Love Beware of Charlatans* *False expert: Somebody who falsely claims a special skill or expertise - Early 17th century: "to babble, patter," an imitation of the sound of empty talk! Keep Your Mind Open and Balanced Try To Be True To Your Inner-Self "Facts" Some "Facts" are actually truths that we are able to uncover and understand! Some "Facts" are only truths until something changes as we become able to understand more! Some "Facts" will never become truths because we will never be able to understand! "So" That is why the human mind has trouble with "factual conclusions"!
