As
the president and Secretary Kerry do their part to misdirect attention from the
real issues of our time to the fake ones, the nation and the world reap the
increasingly rotted fruits of progressivism. What has done more to cause
destruction, poverty, disinformation, failure, and death than this cult,
premised upon the false superiority of its proponents? Absolutely nothing.
Economies lie in ruin, nations are at each other's throats over bailouts and
citizens are pitted against one another for preferential treatment and spoils
coerced from others. All while the darkness of human nature parades smugly
before us calling itself "hope and change".
Progressivism is merely the current euphemism for
centralized power vested in a class of people who believe their own propaganda,
or know it is a lie but tell it anyway. It is not enough merely to note that it
has failed every time it has been tried. It must also be said that it has done
irreparable damage to humanity wherever it has been practiced. Progressivism is
human vice incarnate, the indulgence and celebration of the erasure of the
constraints that human experience and wisdom have devised to limit evil. The
name has been changed to protect the guilty.
Historically, before the current iteration that we are
witnessing in the United States, the quest by elitists for unlimited power over
their fellow men, pursued initially under the guise of peaceful change, has
usually progressed from societal "improvements" and the well-intended promise of
social benefit, to oppression, persecution, and murder. The time line may vary,
some are more sudden and violent, some more gradual and subtle, but the outcome
has always been the same: the dominance of rulers over the ruled, with all
rights and possessions, including life, sacrificed to appease to the insatiable
hunger of a soulless state and its foolish enablers.
Along the way, what is lost is immeasurable. Human
freedom, the right of each individual to live a life determined by his own
needs, skills, and choices, bounded by laws which recognize the need of ethical
limits on our interactions, dissolves or, more accurately, is banned. The
progressive understands that the usurpation of total control cannot be achieved
where humans are permitted to make informed decisions based on accurate
information. Thus, it is necessary first to alter the flow and content of the
information on which individuals make decisions which, in its totality, directs
events that promote one outcome over another. As such, every repressive regime
has depended upon disinformation, presented as "news", meant to shape opinion to
favor the illusory virtues of the regime. The success of this process increases
in direct proportion to the cultivated pollution of the knowledge of the
people.
Because this part of the process snares the weakest
and most vulnerable, whether emotional or intellectual, more drastic action is
needed to defeat the rest. Those who seek or know the truth are the real enemy
of any repressive state. Thus, assuming they still intend to exercise judgment,
they must have their choices taken from them in the name of some greater good.
Should they still demand freedom, they must be cowed, humiliated, imprisoned,
and ground into the dust. To achieve this, in part, the progressive will warp
and twist every established truth to make truth seem ugly and defective, under
the guise of "progress".
A significant tool in this arsenal of fraud is the
appeal to "science". After all, the progressive argues, "science" is independent
of motives or partisan influence. Only a troglodyte disagrees with "science".
The progressive needs you to believe that the science he has bought is pure and
true, and is only what he says it is. Science has always been sacrificed on the
altar of total power.
Beware those who speak of "settled science", and are
prepared to act on that conclusion. It was settled science to some that the Jews
were genetically inferior. Similarly, those who have historically favored the
oppression and servitude of blacks have implicitly invoked settled science to
advance the inherent lie that as a people they are genetically incapable of
equality on their own, and that a paternalistic hand is necessary to compensate
for their historic deficiencies. While this was done in the past to keep them in
literal bondage, it is done now to keep them in philosophical bondage, dependent
upon the entitlements given to them by their political
keepers.
Global warming is merely the latest scientific straw
man to walk the stage, dressed in invisible clothes and armed with
self-righteous indignation and the power of the state. It's always about
control, and is always based on lies. When people stop believing the lies
progressives tell to control their choices and behavior, and refuse to grant
them power in the name of false benevolence and phony virtue, the spell will be
broken. Of course, this simply cannot be allowed.
The problem, as serious Americans grasp, is that there
is nowhere else we can go if progressivism completely destroys freedom here. The
rest of the world has already succumbed. For generations, others have fled here
when like-minded zealots destroyed their countries, because this was someplace
else to go, a haven of freedom left on Earth in which a person could not only
survive, but advance, on hard work and merit. Now, many of them voice their fear
that this magnificent country to which they have fled is becoming increasingly
familiar to what they left behind. There is no place left like the United States
as it was before the cancer of progressivism.
Progressives intend that the
"land of opportunity" shall become the land of servitude. With their backs
against the last wall, threatened with mass destruction of all they know and
love, some citizens will surrender to the inevitability of serfdom that
progressives have always planned for them, despite the evidence and lessons of
history. Others, Americans who recognize the danger and cherish what is
threatened and will not be regained, will defend themselves, their families and
their future. Before 2008, not many of us ever thought we'd have to confront
that choice in our lifetimes. Now, only a few short years later, it is on our
doorstep.
Look what has already been lost because we have failed thus far
to defuse the destructive power of progressivism, and the historic malice or
complicity of its proponents, both left and right. The hour is late and the
opportunities are shrinking rapidly. It is our time to defeat progressivism, or
it will surely destroy all we hold dear as free
Americans.
