Progress !

How many of you can recall the slogan, “Progress is our most important product.”? … furthermore whose slogan was it? … and who said it?

The company was G-E, and the spokesperson was Ronald Raegan:

“Hello: I’m Ronald Reagan speaking for General Electric. At General Electric, you know, ‘PROGRESS IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT PRODUCT.’”

That was back in 1961. Today the word, “progress” has a very different meaning than it did  fifty years ago. Think progressives and you will be on the right track. Nonetheless, not everyone agrees that what the progressive left thinks is “progress,” is actually “progress.”

From Blaze media:

“Country star John Rich — one half of the popular duo Big & Rich — penned a decidedly anti-woke song he dubbed “Progress” that rails against left-wing politics and culture and stands up for traditional American values.

“However, Rich told Just the News that he foresaw a problem getting a song that tells leftists to “stick your progress where the sun don’t shine” played on the radio and distributed to the masses. Mainly because the music industry also leans left.

So Rich did an end-around on Friday, bypassing the music industry’s gatekeepers and instead releasing “Progress” on Truth Social — the platform started by former President Donald Trump — and on the Rumble video platform.”

So what happened with this rebel country song? 

In a matter of just a few hours “Progress” shot up to #1 on I-tunes!

Again from Blaze media:

“I’m watching what I consider to be the dismantling of our country at a lot of different levels,” Rich told Just the News. “And when you sit back and look at it, the vast majority of it’s being perpetuated on us under the banner of ‘progress.’ Like in the name of progress we’re going to send gasoline through the roof so you have to buy an electric car. In the name of progress, we’re going to let anybody and everybody into our country, and if that means we get overrun with fentanyl and every other bad thing, well, so be it. Because that’s progressive: You need to be open-minded and open borders in the name of progress. They target our kids in the name of progress; they do all these things that are actually the opposite of that. They’re regressive. They’re not constructive, they’re destructive.”

AMEN!

Just to give you an idea of what this song is about, here is the chorus:

Stick your progress where the sun don’t shine 

Keep your big mess away from me and mine 

If you leave us alone, well we’d all be just fine 

Stick your progress where the sun don’t shine

Will the country music stations play this song? Personally, I have my doubts, but we’ll see.
