Re: 鈥淪ocialists captured the word progressive,鈥� letter, Oct. 28.
Two things. First: Logically, if you aren鈥檛 progressive, you鈥檇 be regressive. Think flat earth, creationism and climate-change denial.
Second: The world鈥檚 worst oxymoron is the term 鈥渞ight wing.鈥� They are almost never 鈥渞ight.鈥� U.S. President Donald Trump and his lapdog pillow-talker buddy Sean Hannity prove that every day.
While I am highly critical of our often-weak print media, I am also grateful for a free press.
