Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin gave a speech recently explaining about the Progressive and their agenda. He rightfully points out that the Progressive Ideology has infected both Parties. From FDR’s New Deal to George W. Bush’s Compassionate Conservatism, this belief has corrupted the soul of out nation. Where once Americans were Individualist and sought to help themselves, The Collectivist mindset has taken over. We now identify by a group and worship victims. They has fundamentally changed the psyche of Americans, this resulted in the election of Barack Hussein Obama, who is a Radical Disciple of Saul Alinsky.
Someone has said that before there was the New Deal, there was the “Wisconsin Deal.” In Wisconsin, where I come from, the politics of Progressivism still runs strong. It was imported through the University of Wisconsin where they read their Hegel, Max Weber, and other powerful German minds. These thinkers taught the American Progressives to make a sharp distinction between “administration” and “politics.” These philosophers and their American disciples wanted to remodel society on the basis not of opinions or “values” but according to ‘rational calculation.’
The best known Wisconsin Progressive in American politics was Robert LaFollette. “Fighting Bob” was a Republican, as was that other early Progressive, Theodore Roosevelt. Progressivism has always been a powerful strain in the Republican bloodstream, as we saw in the presidential election last year.
Read the rest.
Paul Ryan is right, the GOP is infected with Progressivism. No longer do our party elites argue for Individualism, instead they try to mimic Leftist beliefs. This is why the Tea Party Movement rejects the Republican Party, it is Center-Left and not Center-Right as it was under Reagan. Ironically, the GOP was always Center-Left going back to Teddy Roosevelt. The Democrat Party are Hard Leftists. They seek to radically change America and centralize it’s economy.
Progressivism came in on two great waves: the 1930s New Deal and the Great Society of the 1960s. President Obama often invokes Progressivism and plans to generate its third, and greatest, wave. American businesses large and small must be brought under centralized direction. Contracts, the very core of personal and social freedom, are scrapped or rewritten by the administration as decades old bankruptcy laws are cast aside in the reorganization of the auto makers. The compensation which employers pay to secure the services of executive employees is now reviewed and second-guessed by a presidential “pay czar.” Marriage and family life, church and voluntary organizations are all being weakened mostly by nonrepresentative government agencies. First wave Progressives demanded the popular referendum. Third wave Progressives do everything possible to stop local and state referenda which citizens would use to end this assault on the pillars of free society.
Health Care reform is a prime example of Progressivism in action.
Paul Ryan is correct in what Progressives are doing. The goal is all to create a powerful state where citizens will be subservient to the Elites. This is is Neo-Feudalism pure and simple and this clearly an un-American belief system. This nation was founded to be a place where Individuals would achieve their goals, not being part of a collective that depends on the government.
The Republicans need to get rid of the Progressives from their ranks. The David Frums, Bruce Bartlett and David Brooks need to be purged. They are a 5th columnwho with their Compassionate Conservative Agenda ruined the Conservative Movement and America. We can’t defeat Progressives by fighting on their turf. We must take charge of the debate and have them defend their Fascist ideas. Make no mistake, American Progressivism is Fascism. Glenn Beck, David Horowitz, Jonah Goldberg and Paul Ryan have called out these thugs. We should follow their lead and defeat the Progressives. Our Nation’s survival is at stake.
