The Constitutional Case Against Progressives

[Do not read this article without a copy of the Constitution, and if you do not have one handy, shame on you (link here).]

A line is being drawn in the sand between the statists and Americans, and I use the term American in the grandest sense.  The United States of America represents one of the last bastions of traditional liberalism, which is why the Left should no longer be identified as liberal, but rather we should continue to identify its members as progressive statists.  The Left believes the precepts of our Constitution have failed society, and thus, we must look towards the “enlightened democracies” of socialized Europe for guidance in the progression of American society.

We hear the mantra of rights professed daily by the progressives: education, work, social security, health care, etc.  And since we do not live in a state of nature, the guarantor of those rights must be the government.  This is the definition of a statist, and adherence to these beliefs is inherently in opposition to the Constitution.  The Founders recognized that government could NEVER be the guarantor of rights which is why so much of the Constitution is written in terms of limiting powers conferred upon the government.

Take for example Article I § 1:

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives (emphasis added).

Media Matters: Progressives Take A Courageous Stand Against Israel

Media Matters’ evil twin, Media Matters Action Network, has posted a disgustingly biased screed, casting Israel as a villain in a vacuum:

Progressives Speak Out On Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

December 18, 2009 5:07 pm ET by MJ Rosenberg

This week there was new evidence that mainstream progressives are confronting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  After years of silence on the issue, progressives are coming around to understanding that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not just a “Jewish” or “Muslim” issue but one that affects all Americans.

We have to jump in here for a moment to point out that the conflict is exactly a “Jewish” and “Muslim” issue.  Because of the Muslim concepts of Jihad, Infidels, and Dhimmitude, an uncountable number of Muslims feel humiliated by the reality of Jewish self determination on what they consider to be “Muslim land.” They really don’t like that a group of Judeo-Christian infidels from the US help support the Jew infidels of Israel.  They have vowed to recognize no boundary in their depravity as they relentlessly drive for their final solution to this Infidel transgression.

It would be more honest to have a debate as to whether the Islamists will stop hating us if we stop supporting the Israeli Jew Infidels, but attempting to portray the conflict as anything other than as described above is either naive or dishonest. We leave it to you to determine which applies best to the Media Matters Mafia.

Now back to our regularly scheduled bias:

ClimateGate Is Not The First Time Progressive Scientists Have Lied To The World

Now that global warming is being exposed as a gross manipulation of junk science, it is important to remember that this is not the first time in our nation’s history that the Progressive community has used junk science in order to force their social agenda on an unsuspecting population.

Back in the early 1900’s, up through World War Two, the progressive movements of America and Europe committed large scale genocide with their progressive Eugenic “science”. In fact the term genocide was coined to describe what the Progressive Eugenic movement did in this country and in Germany.

Not many people understand the crime these American Progressives committed, because public educators and other liberal professors just can’t wrap their rigid minds around the concept that the origins of their current religion are soaked in the blood of their own dark history.

The whole ugly truth about how American Progressives directly inspired Adolf Hitler and his Reich, is contained in a masterpiece of writing by Edwin Black, War Against The Weak.
