As longtime readers of this blog know, I was, for most of my life, a progressive. I know progressivism (including, but not limited to, radical feminism) inside and out. Since about 2003, I've been a conservative. I think this transformation (conversion?) gives me special insight into the differences between the two visions/ideologies. The thing that strikes me most is that progressives lack principles. Or rather, their principles are mere poses. They always end up doing what (they think) advances the progressive cause, even if it means (1) abandoning the rule of law, (2) dispensing with principles, (3) committing atrocities (see Stalin, Joseph, and Zedong, Mao), (4) lying, (5) cheating, (6) contradicting themselves, and (7) treating their opponents uncivilly. Read this. You'll see what I mean.
