The writing and thoughts are extraordinarily insightful. Upon reading this post, I was reminded of an earlier one that contained a statment by a progressive indoctrinator about the "fact" that no caucasian culture has ever invented a world-wide religion. I would beg to differ.<br />Caucasians invented progressivism, at least in the sense that caucasians (and only caucasians) went through an enlightenment period where the scientific method was developed, and this method supplanted religious teaching. Unfortunately, the scientific method has been appropriated by "progressives", and is now quite seriously misused to support the cause. They cherry-pick data, take quotes out of context, mis-use analytical methods, spin, and just plan lie in order to support their cause. Environmentalism is the latest expression.rxcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-16850621576476044562012-08-08T12:36:34.575-04:002012-08-08T12:36:34.575-04:00"Progressive" should always be in quotat..."Progressive" should always be in quotations in the context of a political movement...because to do otherwise casts it in a positive light.ggildemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738991402269686873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-85398991315848760592012-08-08T09:59:21.260-04:002012-08-08T09:59:21.260-04:00Thank you.

It is widely known that Karl Marx, an icon of the progressive movement, was a fierce antisemite. It is less known that he was a racist too. In 1979, Nathaniel Weyl published a book titled "Karl Marx: Racist." First, who was Nathaniel Weyl? He began his life as a communist. He was a member of the Communist Party from 1931 to 1939, when he became disappointed and left the party. He gathered a wealth of material and provided insightful comments for his book “Karl Marx: Racist.”<br /><br />Comrade Marx was not an exception. Many luminaries of the progressive movement in the 19th century were racists. Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was a French philosopher, a member of the French Parliament and a self-proclaimed anarchist. He had a pathological hatred for the Jews and called for their expulsion from France to Asia or their extermination. Proudhon and Marx disagreed on many points, but both were racists. Proudhon even rooted for the South in the American Civil War, since he considered the Blacks an inferior race.Jeopardy Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15715651259874730467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-10407445097334315412012-08-05T20:56:33.588-04:002012-08-05T20:56:33.588-04:00The Church of Perpetual Outrage is seething over t...The Church of Perpetual Outrage is seething over this article, if they ever knew it existed.

It...Great commentary on the Progressive, Daniel. It's an application of those lines from "Nineteen Eighty-Four," parodied here: "Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. Eurasia has always been our ally. No, wait. Winston, you've rewritten the past all wrong, you've got it ass-backwards. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia. Eastasia has always been our ally….Now you've got me confused. Winston, will you please step outside into this dead-end ally so we can put a bullet into your skull? You've really fallen down on your job, and it's about time you just fell down." <br /><br />What the Progressives (a.k.a., the Left, a.k.a., the Marxists) are counting on is a collective short-term memory inculcated by the Progressives' educational policies in public schools. The massive support demonstrated by Americans patronizing Chick-Fil-A in defiance of governments harassing the fast-food chain for stating a non-politically correct position must be a stinging slap in the face of Progressives, evidence that their dumbing-down educational policies haven’t been the total success they have been touted to be.Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-51918416122263826832012-08-05T07:48:47.328-04:002012-08-05T07:48:47.328-04:00The vile, disgusting, utterly ruthless, blog at Pr...The vile, disgusting, utterly ruthless, blog at Progressive Eruptions http://progressiveerupts.blogspot.com/<br />comes to mind!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-82401124764457283212012-08-05T05:12:44.884-04:002012-08-05T05:12:44.884-04:00My constant prayer would be that the adults in pol...My constant prayer would be that the adults in politics and elsewhere who must deal head on with these 'teenagers who know everything' would realize with whom they are dealing, call BS to BS, and stand fast. Woe be it to the teacher who gives in to the whims of the adolescents to be mananaged. Chaos is the result and the classroom quickly becomes a very, very, unpleasant place to be. On another site is posted a brief vid of radical gays at the Chicago 'fil-a' unmercifully harangueing a homeless black man who is sitting nearby reading his Bible. While their facial expressions are not quite so distorted as is that of the infamous Islamic 'Rage Boy', never the less, they exhibit an almost demonic cast. In that respect, I perceive that the underlying problem is one of the spirit and not flesh and blood. God help us all.
