As I said when I opened this line of discussion, I used to be happily on the Left. I tell you that for two reasons; firstly, Like most on the Left, I was seduced by the desire to be nice, live nice, do good and share the world with the world, at peace; and secondly, there is a sound reason to reevaluate the decision to be on the Left, if that is where you find yourself today.

The Left promises a bright new tomorrow with sunshine dancing in the clouds, children playing happily, well fed and cared for, life fulfilled, purposeful, happy and secure. I will repost the following link, http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/russian/const/77cons02.html and suggest that you read what you find there. It is a document that guarantees all of those things and more and it is unambiguous in the description of the idyllic life all Soviet citizens were entitled to under the benevolent rule of the Communist government. If the Soviet Constitution’s promises of free education, free healthcare, guaranteed employment, a living wage, guaranteed housing, clean environment, non discrimination and multicultural respect sound familiar, they should. They are exactly the things the American Progressive Left is promoting today.

You may have heard it said that Liberalism is a mental illness. I can assure you that it is not. Liberalism embodies some of mankind’s most altruistic dreams and finest motivations. There is one aspect of Liberalism that does qualify as a mental illness, the Left’s persistent belief that doing the same thing over and over again will eventually produce different results.

In spite of the promises, Soviet citizens lived in deprivation and want. Their stores had mostly empty shelves and their cars barely worked. They had no selection of goods to speak of and no money to afford them. The housing they had was dilapidated and the work they enjoyed was assigned to them by the state… but they did have all of those wonderful promises.

I have shown you that the Progressive agenda mirrors that of the old Soviet Union, I have shown you that the Progressives despise the concept of natural rights in their own words. I have shown you their ambition is to destroy the US Constitution and shown their claims that the document is empty and meaningless.

They deny they are Communists. They accuse anyone who pushes that word in their direction of name-calling and insulting them. Either they honestly are ignorant of the facts of their movement or they are afraid to let it become common knowledge. I suggest the latter, because even the most illiterate and gullible is aware of the human disaster that was the Soviet Union. They couldn’t sell that dream anywhere in America.
