To Describe Those Folks

RickZ: There's a word to describe those folks: Progressives.

That's a word they use to describe themselves. Like calling an unpatriotic law "patriot act."

A correct label would be "regressives," although that suggests they are regressing to a state as bad as our primitive ancestors, when really they seem to be finding ways to be worse than our most barbaric ancestors.

Perhaps "degressive" might be better applied. (Yes, AFAIK, I just made that up.)
