Greek progressivist politics - "Make someone else pay, like the Germans or Americans!"
Because of a left-leaning bias in universities, the far-Left is not tested. Conservatives have their beliefs attacked at college. Progressivist liberals do not have this opportunity and never wholly learn how to stand up for their values because they do not completely comprehend conservatives. Progressivist liberals are sneaky people who are constantly trying to recreate Greece or France for the 'oppressed’ underdogs here in North America. For example, here is the progressivist 'products are rights' narrative: "Democrats are not talking about credit-card companies not being able to take advantage of you, or student loans. Democrats have to be the messengers of what affects your life," said Pat Waak, chairwoman of the Colorado Democratic Party. Products are not rights. No American has a ‘right’ to a certain pill or car. If you think private property or products or services are ‘rights’ then immigrate back to Switzerland or Spain or Greece or England because you are just living here in the USA and you don’t understand American culture. Progressivist liberals do not understand what made the United States a great country. America has a very different culture from Greece. Average Greeks think that unions should be able to help themselves to other people's private property. --- http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704895004575395703643810936.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories -- http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704240004575084853361540506.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_MIDDLETopStories
