Notes From A Retired Preacher

Is Progressive Insurance really “progressive”?

January 18, 2006 · 8 Comments

My wife and I were talking last night — subject: politics & insurance. We talked about the word “progressive” and its origin. Suddenly and naively, I remembered, many years ago I used Progressive Insurance long before I knew “the truth.” Could it be that Lewis’ Progressive Insurance has a subliminal meaning to its name? Well, Duh!

Go figure… Progressive =Liberal. I thought, “Could it be that the Progressive Insurance Company is really liberal?” Well, Yeesss, dummy!

You tell me.

Courtesy of the liberal web, Atheism.about.com, “Peter Lewis, chairman of Progressive Insurance, has donated USD $8.5 million to the ACLU because he believes in the work they do defending Americans’ liberty. [sic]“

Courtesy of the Conservative web site, National Journal “Lewis Was Second Largest Donor To Democrat-527 Groups In 2004 Cycle, Giving $23,997,220. Top Donors To MoveOn.Org Voter Fund 527 Were Herbert And Marion Sandler ($2,505,014), Peter B. Lewis ($2,500,000).”

All of sudden “Progressive” Insurance takes on a new meaning. FYI, I discontinued the company several years ago… but the thought that I, as a Christian Conservative, supported Lewis for years still gives me a sick feeling in my stomach. I was just plain dumb. Liberal = Progressive, Progressive = Liberal…… so obvious!

    Yes, you’re right. Progressives = Liberals. I can see why this would bother someone of your pathetic ilk. Liberals don’t want to slaughter millions of people for Jesus, you do.

    Hell is going to come as quite a shock to you, I’m afraid. Get ready to hear “I don’t know you.”

    Do you have any evidence that Jesus is God? That there is a heaven? That the Bible is accurate? No, you don’t. You simply choose to believe, and then expect other people to adopt the same thought proccess… What right do you have pushing your faith into politics? Faith is not evidence, it is the opposite of it.

    Scott:

    Yes, the proof/answer to your first three questions is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    You ask “What right do I have….”

    My friend, I am an American and proud of it. That is my right.

    You, like Mark above need Jesus as your Savior.

    Well done, sir. I’m embarrassed for people who lambaste Christianity by saying it’s a violent religion, like Mark. He obviously hasn’t done any actual research. He’s simply regurgitating what he hears others say.

    Good article here. Thanks for the heads up on Progressive.

    Jack,
    Thanks for the info regarding Progressive… it’s helpful to know which companies to avoid.

    And Mark and Scott continue to prove that those who most complain about the “hate” and “intolerance” of Christianity are usually far more guilty of it themselves.

    Keep the faith! :)

    Jason,

    Thanks for dropping by.

    Liberal theology and philosophy are taking over our country like a whirlwind… and the ignorant are pushing it along

    The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only eternal answer.

    In Jesus Christ eternally,

    It’s funny that all the ads on this post are for Progressive.
