Not so fast there cowboy. We have the "NEW PROGRESSIVES" in this country who are now in power and are emboldened enough to reveal their true thoughts and intent for anyone willing to listen to what it is that they have to say (and yes, they are good at bloviating and using their special 'code' language to bore a man to tears but we MUST listen for the POTUS is their man and he listens to them).
The "NEW PROGRESSIVES" (Neo-Progressives, or neo-progs)are a rueful lot. They seem to be able to ignore the facts that stare them in the face and and carry on as though nothing has ever happened to contradict their Pollyannic view of the world. They TRULY BELIEVE in Big Government as the cure for the ailments of the world. They TRULY BELIEVE that if only government were IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING that there would be a Utopian Society where everyone would do his share and everyone would be a happy and productive member of society. If they were in charge we could stop building prisons (eventually, because we are going to NEED them in the near future for those who are causing 'problems') and wastefully spending our resources on wars and keeping a standing military. If we would only listen to them and let them have their way everyone would be happy and young forever. Oh, what a wonderful world it would be, if only....
I suppose one could call them idealists, or unrealistic, or egg-headed intellectuals, Marxists, Communists or whatever. I call them what they are: DANGEROUS~
These "NEW PROGRESSIVES" ignore men like Madison, Jefferson, Franklin and one of the most remarkable men in history; George Washington (when he voluntarily relinquished the reigns of power he set a new standard in the annals of human governance). These men understood the human condition. They knew what unrestrained government was capable of and they knew that government BY ITS VERY NATURE is coercive. Government exists for one reason and one reason alone: Do what we say or else! Or else pay the fine, or else we will put you in prison, or else we will take your very life! Listen to the words of George Washington,
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
Yet these "NEW PROGRESSIVES" think that they are different. They think that they are smarter than everyone else, including the founding fathers. That they will FINALLY get big government right THIS TIME. Yes, the Soviet Union failed, but that was because they weren't in charge. Yes, the Post Office is a national embarrassment of governmental bureaucratic inefficiency, and the Social Security Administration is a bureaucratic nightmare, and the Internal Revenue Service is so complicated and convoluted that if you call and speak to one official and ask a question and then call back five minutes later and ask the same question to a different official you are likely to get two completely different answers to a question for which YOU will be criminally liable. But the Veteran's Administration is supposed to be a model for nationalized health care due to the "care" that our veterans receive (never mind the fact that there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY in the VA system, that veterans were infected with the AIDS VIRUS when given routine colostomies in Nashville, or that our veterans were counseled on when life was not worth living anymore, or that...).
But that's just.... (well I don't know what they would say to that argument, but I do know that they ignore the evidence and would somehow try to explain it away). "BUT BIG GOVERNMENT IS THE ANSWER!" Just trust us and give us complete control over everything and we will show you what REALLY Big Government can do!
The following are video excerpts from the "Thinking Big, Thinking Forward Conference" held February 11th, 2009

The Bottom Line "NEO-PROGRESSIVE" Philosophy:
1) Control the Masses
a) What they think
b) What they buy
c) What they eat
d) Who lives and who dies (medical care given or denied SEE: Complete Lives System Philosophy)
e) How long they live so as not to be an undue burden on society and resources
Think the movie "Logan's Run"
2) Redistribute Wealth
a) Take from the rich and give to the poor until they are rich no more
b) Take from the rich nations and give to the poor nations until they are rich no more
Questions:
What are the implications of Deepak's statement of the change from personal freedom to the new paradigm?
What are the consequences for all of us? Intended and unintended?
Who comes to bail out the poorer nations in crisis if America isn't there to do it anymore?
Final Thoughts:
Time is short! The coming financial economic earthquake is being brought upon us INTENTIONALLY for the purposes of creating a new form of REALLY BIG GOVERNMENT!
A Plausible Scenario:
A crisis occurs, man-made or natural, let's say a massive earthquake in the region of San Francisco. Given the increasingly fragile state of our economy, the intentional devaluing of the dollar and the rapidly increasing global loss of confidence in American financial systems we enter into an economic free fall from which EVERYONE is powerless to stop.
We go over the cliff!
Untold pain, misery, suffering and death.
The Obama administration scrambles to restore order out of chaos reveling in "how bad and how long the crisis is" then Rahm Emmanuel and company pounce on the opportunity to recreate America in their idea of a Utopian Oligarchy.
The Constitution ~ Relegated to the ash heap of history!
The Bill of Rights ~ See Above
Our Beloved Republic, "of the People, by the People and for the People" ~ See Above
Result ~ A Brave New World!
May God Have Mercy on His People!
