Today, August 11, is the 12th Anniversary of “The Progressive Professor”, and with this posting, exactly 6,800 articles have been published!
Along with the articles, there have been exactly 21,000 comments by readers and myself as I post this, and I wish to thank all those who have contributed to this blog with their insights!
This author and blogger has been passionate about this blog, and hopes to continue for the long haul, shooting first for 15 years, then 20, and hopefully, 25 years!
I want to thank my son, David Feinman, for inspiring me to begin this blog back in 2008. It keeps me intellectually engaged, along with my writings on my additional blog on History News Network, and my radio engagements, along with my lectures to various groups, and my continued teaching on the American Presidency at Florida Atlantic University.
Hopefully, the progressive cause will be advanced in the upcoming years, after setbacks on a regular basis in the past 40 years, from the election of Ronald Reagan to the disaster of the Presidency of Donald Trump.
It is hoped that Joe Biden will restore and improve upon the Barack Obama legacy, and that whoever his running mate is, may eventually become the 47th President to follow Joe Biden!
Happy anniversary!
Thanks, Former Republican, much appreciated!
Happy 12th Anniversary, Ronald!
I happened to come across this blog site in 2011. I think it was at some point during the second half of the year. So, for me, it is roughly nine years.
You are beginning your 13th consecutive year of “The Progressive Professor.†(For me, with my participation with comments, it is the beginning of the 10th.)
Thanks, D, and I want to express again my appreciation of all of your contributions over the years.
Congratulations, Professor; that is quite a milestone.
i’m curious: Do You have any thoughts as to why the progressive cause has suffered all those setbacks over the past 40 years? [i’d go back at least another 15 years to the failure to end the Viet Nam War; but that’s a moot point.]
How and Why was The Right able to do that?
And do You actually see Biden as a champion of “progressivism”? If so, what does that make Sanders, AOC, and that ilk?
In any event, Congratulations once again. These next five months will give You plenty to write about, i’m sure. ~ jeff
