Why did the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial on the banks of the Mississippi in St Louis become The Gateway Arch National Park? Is it because the Louisiana Purchase was really a horrid event? The Left wants to progress constantly. Socialism wants change for its own sake. What would America have to look like for progressives to want to preserve? If America acceded to all of the Left’s demands, would they then become conservatives? Community Organizer & Activist are not job titles that Lewis and Clark would have understood. Politicians! Please stop changing our world and promising us Utopia. We just need you to preserve the framework of predictability in our lives. Jews and Christians both believe in a perfect Messianic tomorrow. So do progressives; but there’s a big difference.
