Where are Progressives getting the notion they are saying or doing ANYTHING that is progressive? Or that what they are saying has a positive relevance to American society that will advance our nation? There’s no fresh thinking from these people. All these theories they are trying to inflict on the American economy, healthcare system, banks, business and so on are old theories that have been around for CENTURIES, tried repeatedly and failed every time they were tried. These theories have only worked for a limited time when they were tried and only worked at the point of a gun – or a spear. When the population is cowed into submission because they have no way to fight back against an armed central government and forced to do what the government insists they do, anything can work – for a short time. Eventually, all those governments who followed the strong central command and control system collapsed under the weight of the burden they placed on society in spite of holding the citizens hostages.
The growth of the central government to oversee a nation is not a new idea. Maybe the Progressives were absent from school the day they taught about the Roman Empire – or in today’s schools they may not even cover the subject. It has probably been replaced with ‘Why Men Are Bad.’ Maybe Progressives missed the whole history of the world up through the Twentieth Century. Countries have been using central command and control for millennia. The result is always the same as trying to overcorrect a car on an icy street with a heavy hand. Instead of being free to react to the changing conditions under the wheels, heavy-handed corrections tend to put the car- and governments – in the ditch. In the end they all end up on the scrap heap.
Equally alarming is the arrogance of our emerging Ruling Class. They are sure what they are trying to push onto the American people is what is best for us all in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They sat in their classrooms and think tanks and talked about these theories as if the whole world exists in a vacuum. If that was the case all the plans for all the battles fought in wars would have worked like a charm and the planners never would have lost. The problem all strategists understand – which seems to escape Progressives – is that as soon as the first person steps on the battlefield all the plans go out the window. The same applies to governments. That is why when we get these massive entitlement programs they are an endless list of addendums to handle the contingencies that keep coming up.
Propping up the Ruling Class is their favorite propaganda lap-puppy – the mainstream media. The same mainstream media that in recent days has demonstrated their lack of touch with the American people by their reaction to the primary elections. Over the last couple years they have gone out of their way to show their bias and their lack of touch with the current mood of the people they are supposed to be reporting for in their papers. Instead of being the eyes and ears of the American people, they have become the attack dog of the Ruling Class against anyone who opposes Washington establishment.
Recruiting and training for the Ruling Class are the universities and colleges who are vying for positions closest to the throne by funneling some of the best and brightest minds into what used to be considered ‘dead-end government jobs.’ Those people will then be indoctrinated to work ‘at court’ for the Ruling Class until they are ready to be moved into positions of power. The indoctrination period also serves as a vetting opportunity for the Ruling Class to weed out those who lack ‘proper thinking’ and advance those who show promise.
It all adds up to the Ruling Class setting themselves up like old-time medieval kings, taking the crops and treasure of the serfs as if it’s their own, making decisions for the people as if they have no brains to make their own decisions, spending the treasure on their own agendas and living off the treasure of the people in rock-star lavishness that few of the people supporting them with their taxes could afford. Yet, the Ruling Class feels somehow entitled to this lifestyle on the government dime. In the private sector they never would be allowed to abuse the company expense account to that extent. That’s probably why they went into government – they can abuse their expense accounts and no one is holding them accountable.
Now along come the people movies are made about – those willing to throw it all out there, fight the fights, take the blows, take on the Rulers for the cause of Freedom. This is as good as it gets. The added attraction is they are under attack from the Left and from their own people. Odds have been against these people who are rising from nowhere to challenge ‘The Establishment’ from the start. Two years ago they were living in obscurity – today they are American heroes. This is the kind of action/patriotism inspired story people would be on their feet cheering if they were in movie theaters. All of the elements are here; it’s simply a matter of going up against ‘The Machine’ driving on into November.
This is the stuff of Legends.
Americans deserve better!!
