Progressives are the true class of freedom haters who preach tolerance while being intolerant of all other views. The only votes they receive have been bought and paid for through corporate or public welfare. They have marginalized blacks within urban public school ghettos as the new form of segregation. They follow the model built upon the backs of Native Americans placed on reservations which created a culture of addiction with gambling as a way of life.
If any wish to verify the racist origins of the Progressive era just google Buck v. Bell, a 1928 Supreme Court decision to see for yourself.
The entire welfare nanny state shows how Progressives have created a permanent underclass by chaining them with their permanent safety nets. After breeding dependency among millions they prey upon them by dictating the terms of their existence by creating penalties for anyone of this class who wishes to explore opportunities to better oneself. The last thing they want is their victims escaping the hold of the poverty pimps for that would require cutting the budgets of their beloved bureaucratic agencies. These agencies never eliminate poverty, they breed it to justify their growth.
Instead of just teaching people how to fish Progressives want to give them fish, paid for only by the middle class, for the rest of their lives to make them dependent upon their benevolence. The welfare state is the prime ministry of their Sharia type theology carved, not out of private charity, freedom, or opportunity, but codified by statute within their legalistic tradition. Therefore we get 70K pages of new federal regulations year in and out.
CS Lewis had their number a long time ago:
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience
Proving that their ideas are in decline the Progressives quickly replaced Global Warming with Climate Change, which shows that all they have left is rhetoric and Chicken Little tactics. Most forget that they first tried this 40 years ago with end of the world as we know it Global Cooling.
So where is Phil Jones? Have they found him yet?
All Progressives know how to do is raise new taxes to buy new votes. That is the essence of global warming fear mongering, meanwhile in the midst of the summer, the temp. today is but 74 degrees; which demonstrates that facts don’t sway the zealots among us.
“They have marginalized blacks within urban public school ghettos as the new form of segregation.”
Now the online Time Mag-e-zine agrees with little ole me..
