I would have to agree because that's somewhat the same message that I've been promulgating myself (as are others here at the Plaza).
It's not about Dems or Reps, Left or Right, but about Right and Wrong. Both (Dem/Rep) parties have bought into this whole big government/central planning solution to everything and all we have to show for it is massive debt.
Nothing ever gets accomplished but politicians lining their pockets. Forbes named 6 out of the 10 wealthiest counties in the US to be in the DC area. 60%!!! Anybody have a problem with that? Certainly not Progressives. They only care if it's actually someone who has EARNED IT.
However, that aside, we have a whole new problem that has manifested itself in the person of Barack Obama. Now, we've had some pretty Progressive Presidents in the past that have done some very damaging things to this country. Woodrow Wilson, FDR & LBJ to be specific.
In fact, if you were to construct a Progressive Mt. Rushmore, it would look like this L-R: Wilson, FDR, LBJ & Obama. These four guys have inflicted more damage to this country than any foreign enemy ever has. They, along with their administrations and willing accomplices in the Lesgislative and Judicial branches, have inflicted the cancer that is rotting this country inside-out.
I left out Teddy Roosevelt (Father of the Progressivism and the Bull Moose Party) only because you can only have four, and he's already up there on the original, much to my chagrin. I would've put Madison up there. You know, Founding Father and co-author of the US Constitution. Heck, I would rather've put George Mason, John Jay, John Adams, Samuel Adams or even Calvin Coolidge up there. Yes, Calvin Coolidge. Fiscally, he's one of the greatest presidents we've ever had. He's the last president that actually cut taxes AND spending significantly. So much so, that it produced...say it with me...The Roaring Twenties!
Back to Obama...This guy (and his administration) has taken Marxism, lawlessness and attacks on the Constitution and our rights to a whole new level. He divides everyone into groups and pits them against each other. Rich against Poor, Black against White (make that, EVERYONE against white) Men against Women, Gays against Straights, Pro Choice against Pro Life, Pro Gun (2nd Amnd) against Anti Gun, and on, and on, and on. DIVIDE and CONQUER.
It's what Marxists do to gain power. It's in the playbook. All Socialist/C*******t/F*****t dictators do it. Pick a target, isolate it, personalize it and polarize it. Rule #12 of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Obama likes to take just one more step and destroy it.
And nobody (save a few of us that pay any attention) cares!!! The country, on the whole, seems to be so apathetic about their civic duty of being informed (and not surfacely, but have a real grasp of the issues) that the country will literally burn down around them and they won't even notice because they're too busy playing Candy Crush or posting on FB.
And a large portion of the ones that do, get brainwashed by whichever side they're on and just spew regurgitated talking points. Not too many free-thinkers out there.
If you pick up anything, get this. Progressivism is the cancer k*****g this country. And Progressivism has eaten up both of our main political parties. Slightly less on the right, but only slightly.
Ok, here I go again preaching. I'll stop here.
