Well done. Great website. The new format is better and the amount of material you present is incredible; especially considering the size of the staff.

Nice work. Congratulations.

My compliments to the Think Progress Staff, plus the regular commenters that make this site my favorite to read “At Work”. Also Wordpress for the ease with which I navigate this site (and The Zoo) on my mobile phone. As Young Mr. Grace would say, “You’ve all done very well!”

It’s nice. I never cease to be amazed at the nonsensical subtext that US chatter attaches to the word “liberal.” I don’t find it a useful word : I never did. But to smear people as “liberals” in fact is a way of smearing them as “reds under the bed” – nothing less. Since it’s encrypted, anyone stupid enough to try to defend themselves as a “left liberal” and claim equal legitimacy with “right liberals” is logically correct but still merely digging their own grave deeper. I traced the mythology of this back to a great quote I found on wikipedia last week:

In 1955, Dean Russell wrote an article pondering what to call those, such as himself, who subscribed to the classical liberal philosophy of individualism and self-responsibility. He said

Many of us call ourselves “liberals,” and it is true that the word “liberal” once described persons who respected the individual and feared the use of mass compulsions. But the leftists have now corrupted that once-proud term to identify themselves and their program of more government ownership of property and more controls over persons. As a result, those of us who believe in freedom must explain that when we call ourselves liberals, we mean liberals in the uncorrupted classical sense. At best, this is awkward, subject to misunderstanding. Here is a suggestion : let those of us who love liberty trademark and reserve for our own use the good and honorable word “libertarian.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism

– my own response to this is to say that these “libertarians” should henceforth be referred to as “Lockean conservatives,” which would distinguish them from the more pro-government sort of conservative, which I shall call the “Burkean conservative.” Thus, we free up the field from all the stray references to “liberalism,” once and for all, and forget the word, which no longer has any useful meaning at all.

Congratulations to the Think Progress crew. I visit your site every day. You are the best blog in America (with C&L and infowars). Keep up the great work. Americans like me depend upon you for the real and straight news.

It’s hard to believe, but Think Progress have more credibility than all the mass media put together.

Praise the internet! We must never let the government or Zionists try to censor the internet. To free men and women everywhere, it has become as important to our survival as anything.

You deserve a good drunk for your great work.
