TOMOTHPROgressives understand thatthe ROLE of government. Government should address matters of public policy but stay the hell out of our private, personal lives. Republicans and CONservatives want to get government “off the backs” of corporations and the Wall $treet Bank$ters who collapsed our economy (they hate government for exactly the same reason criminals hate police), but they want Big Intrusive Government to nose its way into the most personal aspects of our private lives. Democrats and PROgressives want government to address legitimate issues of public policy to protect workers, consumers and our shared environment and infrastructure — but stay out of our private lives, including private relationships (dictate who you can or can’t marry), private medical choices (reproduction, marijuana, end of life choices, stem cell therapies) or try to force religion (private) into the public square (socialized religion).
