To the Editor:

I have read many letters with people claiming to be a proud liberal or progressive while saying they are not socialists, and I take them at their word. Progressives are compassionate people who have lost touch with our Constitution and its premise of small government. At present America seems well on its way to socialism, and the pathway to get there has been through progressivism. There is no compromise with this ideal. Any compromise is a loss of freedom and another step closer to socialism.
