The Danger of Progressive Liberalism

Our country is on a destructive binge of governmental lunacy and personal self-absorption. We have strayed from our original principles and philosophy. We have demonized the bases on which we became the greatest country in the history of the world. We have sacrificed many of the values that formed our culture. We have often subverted or ignored the intent of the Constitution of the United States. Over the last 78 years, we have experienced a growth in government, with its attendant high costs, and a movement away from common sense. We have let the progressive liberal Left demonize and hamstring private enterprise, the basic building block of our way of life. We are becoming a nation of entitlement and disincentive. Nearly half of our citizens depend on the government for much of their income. Far too much of the income taxes paid by those who do pay taxes is used to support those who do not. Poll after poll reveals that the majority of Americans want that which Congress is unwilling to provide. The majority of Americans do not want the size of the federal government to increase. They want it to shrink and they want to eliminate deficits. Most Americans do not want to increase taxes on any workers. Most Americans want the country protected, the threat of Islamic terrorism eliminated, out borders secured, and our immigration laws enforced. They want English to be the official language of the United States and they do not want to become a bilingual nation. They do not want any form of amnesty for illegal aliens. Most Americans want to reduce dependence on foreign oil and adopt an energy policy that makes sense. They want environmental policies that are practical and efficient. Most Americans do not want the government to run healthcare, do not want ‘cap and trade’, do not believe in bailouts, and do not want government takeover of private enterprise. Most Americans know healthcare must be reformed, but do not want the government to manage it and certainly are against the unsustainable provisions of the healthcare bill signed into law by President Obama in 2009. Most Americans have traditional values and do not appreciate the political correctness that protects the religious rights of others while denying the same to Christians or Jews. Most Americans want real education taught in public schools and do not approve of the heavy secular progressive liberalism taught on college campuses. They do not want multiculturalism that will erase the finest culture in the history of the world. The progressive liberal politicians, as well as many Republican politicians, do not seem to listen or even care. Our federal government does not seek to execute the will of the people. Instead, it acts as though government elitists, and only them, know what’s good for us. It is obvious that many in Congress think the populace is simply too stupid to know what’s best and therefore must have decisions made for them. This is particularly true of the progressive liberals on the Left, who hold the uninformed who vote for them in great contempt.
