Steven Hayward is the new regular at Power Line and he has just begun what should be an exceptional series on what it means to be a Progressive in the United States. The first post is brief and outlines what is to follow. As Hayward points out, the Progressives of the early part of the last century were fiercely opposed to socialism and wrapped in spirit filled evangelical Christianity of the Protestant variety. Though some of their goals may have survived over the century, today's Progressives are quite different from those in 1912 in terms of identity and methodology. OTR thinks his readers will find this series both entertaining and informative.
