As the current events in Congress and with President Obama have shown, some people in government think that they are still carrying on the ideals of the "progressives." It's really peculiar [and mostly unpalatable] to learn that many of the "progressive" ideals originated in pre-World War One Germany. The Good Old U. S. of A. picked them up and enhanced them with concepts such as the "science" of eugenics. Six million people died in Hitler's Germany somewhat after that -- for the "progressive" ideal of purifying the race. That's pretty good evidence that the "progressive era" didn't end in 1919 or 1920. Some are trying to carry it on now. In the 2008 primaries, Hilary Clinton proclaimed that she didn't want to be seen so much as a Democrat as, she said she preferred, a "progressive." No political philosophy ever ends, they just go underground or have very few followers for a while. Then the children or students of those few followers emerge to reassert that philosophy. After all, Woodrow Wilson, America's premier progressive, lost his mind by 1919 (or much before) and died in 1924. Yet today's progressives still insist upon inflicting his political objectives on us for the usual progressive reason: they are smarter than anyone else and, therefore, they -- even as a small minority of our otherwise more knowledgeable population -- should dictate what our laws, morals and lives should be. The end of the progressive era? Not yet, but, hopefully, soon.<br><b>References : </b><br> The "Progressive" era doesn’t have a set beginning, not has there been an end to it.
