Liberals! Where Is Your Self-Respect??

The era before progressives was an era of subjugation of the blacks, Natives women, children and certain nationalities. It was an era of possessions of lands and Earthly riches by force. It was an era of economic turmoil by many factors, but mostly through land speculation. It was an era of poverty and monopolies which would kill a human to get what they wanted. Labor was abused to serve the rich and segregation was the norm of the day.
This is what PC wants to go back to. Why she would not even be able to vote in her dream world. The USA became a world powerhouse by the very reigns of progressive leadership that she wants to cut and she believes everything progressive/liberal/democratic is bad.
Well I have one phrase to educate herself with. You would be better off freeing your mind than trying to take us back to a cruel world of republicanism.

No, Stalin and the other early Progressives weren't like that. They killed their own.
Swing and a miss



No charge for your education:

THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT
The Progressive Movement began late in the 19th Century. Its Central Tenets are Statism, Income Redistribution, Unionism, Government Management of the Economy, womb to tomb provision for its citizens, and a Libertine Social Policy. '

The Progressive Movement
 
in your OPs the evil traitor is always the LIBERAL.

thanks for your 2 min hate.

Would you rather I be wishy-washy???

What fun would that be?


I slipped up a few times, praising Arthur Schlesinger, jr.....
...why didn't you warn me???
 
When I added the OP, [http://www.usmessageboard.com/politics/267192-liberals-where-you-went-wrong.html ] I noted what I believed would be the most antagonistic aspect of Progressive doctrine…the idea that a citizen has no rights. None- except for whatever scraps the elites believe they can have.


Here:
"For over a century the natural rights concept of the Founders, and of Abraham Lincoln, had served as the philosophical foundation for America. But, during the late 19th -early 20th centuries, what we know as ‘progressives’ repudiated the idea. A leading progressive, John Dewey: “Natural rights and natural liberties exist only in the kingdom of mythology and social zoology.”
Dewey, “Liberalism and Social Action,” p. 17.

a. Charles Merriam: “The individualistic ideas of the ‘natural rights’ school of political theory, endorsed in the Revolution, are discredited and repudiated.”
Merriam, “A History of American Political Theories,” p. 307.

3. Let’s be clear: the central doctrine of progressives is that government can withdraw any ‘right’ at any time, as opposed to the view that there are permanent rights founded in “nature and nature’s God.” Perhaps you recall it this way: that humans are “endowed by their Creator” with “unalienable rights.”

a. "Unalienable: incapable of being alienated, that is, sold and transferred." Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, page 1523: You can not surrender, sell or transfer unalienable rights, they are a gift from the creator to the individual and can not under any circumstances be surrendered or taken. All individual's have unalienable rights.

b. In a 1996 paper, "Private Speech, Public Purpose: The Role of Governmental Motive in First Amendment Doctrine," Obama's Supreme Court Justice Kagan argued it may be proper to suppress speech because it is offensive to society or to the government. : "Whether a given category of speech enjoys First Amendment protection depends upon a categorical balancing of the value of the speech against its societal costs."
WyBlog -- Elena Kagan's America: some speech can be "disappeared"




There were a fairly large number of replies….none of those Liberals, or Progressives, or Obama supporters, challenged the idea!


Is there not ANY contumely Leftists will not recoil from??
No….rather, they accepted the role of a slave, a dog….sitting up and begging, inured to the characterization!! ‘Yes master,…please, may I speak? Or even dream?’


Among those trained, schooled, conditioned....and, yes, brainwashed....there is no self-respect, no demand that they be acknowledged to be worth something as an individual.

Disheartening.
Disgusting.



The warnings weren't enough:

"As usual, the face of Emmanuel Goldstein, the Enemy of the People, had flashed on to the screen. There were hisses here and there among the audience. Goldstein was the renegade and backslider who once, long ago (how long ago nobody quite remembered), had been one of the leading figures of the Party, almost on a level with BIG BROTHER himself, and then had engaged in counter-revolutionary activities, had been condemned to death and had mysteriously escaped and disappeared.

The programmes of the Two Minutes Hate varied from day to day, but there was none in which Goldstein was not the principal figure. He was the primal traitor, the earliest defiler of the Party's purity."

I do my very best to educate you guys, drop-draws...but it seems some of you Pod People cannot be brought back from the dark side.


1. Research will prove that Progressive ideology was born of German scholarship and the work of Hegel.and this euro-thinking placed the ruler above the ruled: Germans have a history of accepting authoritarian rule.... Just about every early Progressive studied in Germany, or had tutors who did.
It is authoritarian, and statist.
As are you.

It encourages bowing to the all-powerful state/ government.....one which knows no bounds.
As you do.
As Woodrow Wilson wrote in The State, "Government does now whatever experience permits or the times demand."
He suggested throwing out the Constitution....as do you.



2. "... subjugation of the blacks,..."
This was the policy of the Democrat Party.
It went so far as to block every anti-lynching bill in the Senate.



3. "...of subjugation of ... women,"
The Republican Party is responsible for the passage of the women's suffrage amendment.




4. "It was an era of poverty and monopolies...
OMG…you are correct!! That’s an event that usually accompanies a parting sea or a stone tablet!!!
And that was the era when Progressive ideology was reasonable.

That time has long passed....it has ventured into totalitarianism.
As have you.



5. "This is what PC wants to go back to."
Let's explore that.
Based on the revelations above....that comment has the character of a
boomerang...
True?
True.


6. Here is my wish a government akin to the view of the Founders, based on individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.

Now.…work hard to free up the congealed gears of your mind…Don't you see that
the philosophy that you support wishes exactly the opposite?
True story!

Think hard....aspirins are available.
 
When you peel back the onion, all they really care about is the free gubmint stuff.

once again for you lying loons...

red states take more money from the feds than they put in

blue states put in more money than they take...

tell ya what.. stop living off of OUR dime.

thanks for playing.

now please go back to collecting your government check and using our government medical services.... while you drive on government roads and use government-subsidized gasoline... and eat government subsidized farm products...



OK....let me explain the OP in terms even you will understand:


The Dog and the Wolf

A gaunt Wolf was almost dead with hunger when he happened to meet a House-dog who was passing by. "Ah, Cousin," said the Dog. "I knew how it would be; your irregular life will soon be the ruin of you. Why do you not work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly given to you?"

"I would have no objection," said the Wolf, "if I could only get a place."

"I will easily arrange that for you," said the Dog; "come with me to my master and you shall share my work."

So the Wolf and the Dog went towards the town together. On the way there the Wolf noticed that the hair on a certain part of the Dog's neck was very much worn away, so he asked him how that had come about.

"Oh, it is nothing," said the Dog. "That is only the place where the collar is put on at night to keep me chained up; it chafes a bit, but one soon gets used to it."

"Is that all?" said the Wolf. "Then good-bye to you, Master Dog."

Better starve free than be a fat slave.
Aesop




Get it now, cousin?
 
When you peel back the onion, all they really care about is the free gubmint stuff.

Yes , there is Polly Parrot, mimicing the so called great idealism which the GOP has built their house upon. Such a rotten structure of hate and envy. Please tell me what free stuff I get, I would like to know considering I do not qualify for any free gubmit stuff. But you probably know, since that is the best education you have, and the ability to embrace. Keep on with that stupid statement and the GOP's house will continue to be vacant after the next presidential elections.

We have a winner!!!


In the category of "Unintentional Humor"....it's

(drum roll......)

.........Drop-Draws!!!! Hooray!



Now....let's get this straight....
...you support an administration that won on class warfare.....

...........against the 'evil rich'.....


....and you think...(did I inadvertently suggest that Drop-Draws thinks???)....


....it's the GOP that's built on "a rotten structure of hate and envy..."

Knee-slapper right there!!


Now....before you collect your prize, you'll need to take a urine test to see how many drugs you're on.....unless you live in Washington or Colorado.....

stalin wasn't a progressive or a liberal...

damn, you're stupid.

and before having a conversation where you toss words around, you might find it helpful to actually know what the definitions of those words are.

but it's always good to have someone who knows nothing about political philosophy or the differences between different ideologies spew nonsense like you do.

:thup:



Learning...coming right up:

"Liberals claim the center by placing socialism on the left and national socialism on the right, even though Lenin/Stalin and Hitler/other Nazis had much in common as they centralized power and preached hatred. A more accurate spectrum would place totalitarians of many stripes on the left and defenders of religious, political, and economic freedom on the right."

Let me know if you need a definition for 'totalitarian.'
 
When I added the OP, [Liberals: Where You Went Wrong ] I noted what I believed would be the most antagonistic aspect of Progressive doctrine…the idea that a citizen has no rights. None- except for whatever scraps the elites believe they can have.

You mean like equal rights to marry whom you love and the absolute control over the choice of when and if to reproduce?

As usual, it is the right that seeks to take basic rights away from Americans. In fact, every day or so, one of the rabid rw's here posts against rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

You rw's all seem to live in the same glass house.


"You mean like..."
Why the puzzlement, ugly.necktie?

Seems perfectly clear what I meant: exactly what I said I meant.



I wrote about the most inimical aspect of Progressive doctrine....yet you are afraid to deal with the question I posed.
Clear why.


Regularly, board Lefties...Progressives suggest that opposing voices be silenced.....
That's the point.
You folks have internalized the state's order: 'Shut up and Obey."

Bet you have that bumper sticker on your car.

Once again you're misinterpreting what was said. There are no such thing as "natural rights". In the natural world the only rights you have are those you're able to fight for. In our world we create associations, usually called governments, to fight for those rights. The problem you seem to be having is that you regard all such associations as "the other", there to either hand you something or take something away. I prefer to see our democratic institutions as "us", not perfect of course, but not "the other". If you see them that way, who's doing the fighting to make sure your rights are observed?

Broken record syndrome. Good thing no one takes her seriously except for Daveman and Crusader Frank, Dumb and Dumber.
And yet, oddly, you have been unable to refute her points.

NOTE: Screeching "Nuh-UH!!" is not a valid refutation. I'm sorry I disarmed you.

Why do you say she's wrong, then repeat exactly what she said?

You believe people have no rights unless they're granted by government.

This is wrong.

PROVE IT. If there's no government and I'm stronger than you, what's to prevent me from doing anything I want to you?

This is wrong.

There's a difference between thinking you have a right and being able to exercise that right.
 
You believe people have no rights unless they're granted by government.

But we ARE the government. We're affirming the rights we acknowledge and wish to protect for everyone within our domain. You and PC are wrong in looking at the government as "the other" when it should be looked on as "us". We aren't "granted" rights by the government, they're rights that WE have agreed are important enough to us to codify.
 
Natural rights are the rights that all humans are born with, and that most people agree are conferred upon them by God. If not by God, then by universal concensus.

The only people that deny that we are born with certain inalienable rights are the people who want to take them from you. The people who believe humans (particularly humans they don't like) are animals, and should be treated as such.

This is largely to support their disproportionately large gubmint dependent minority populations, and said earmarks are largely the doing of the Liberals.

You have failed.


LOL

Compared to the rest of humanity,

we spend a disproportionate amount of money on the military, and spend a disproportionate amount of time fighting wars,

all at the taxpayers' expense, at least that which isn't being borrowed.
