1.How to explain the advance of Progressivism, modern Liberalism, in the face of the majesty that the Founders bequeathed the people of America?
Boils down to this simple fact: those who accept the collectivist agenda don’t read, don’t think, don’t learn. See what happens when you ask a Progressive/Liberal what books have informed their political outlook…just a puzzled look.
But they do have a need for meaning, some spiritual association….and if not with God, then with government. Hence, the religion of Leftism.
2.“The mob characteristic most gustily exhibited by liberals is the tendency to worship and idolize their political leaders. Le Bon explained that mobs can only grasp the “very simple and very exaggerated.” Their chosen images must be absolute and uncompromising… As Le Bon says, the “primitive” black-and-white emotions of a crowd slip easily into “infatuation for an individual.” Liberals worship so many political deities that they must refer to them by initials, just to save time- FDR, JFK, RFK, MLK, LBJ, and O.J. Ever hear a conservative get weepy about “RWR” or refer to something as hokey as “Camelot”?
Passionate adoration are the primitive emotions of a mob, sentiments generally associated with women, children, and savages, according to Le Bon.” Coulter
3.There can be no clearer explanation for attaching appellations ‘god,’ ‘Jesus’ or ‘messiah’ to Hussein Obama….but they did. With Woodrow Wilson, too.
“It’s been a century since President Woodrow Wilson arrived in Europe, weeks after the Armistice ending World War I. A crowd of 2 million cheered him in Paris. The papers called him the “God of Peace,” the “Savior of Humanity,” a “Moses from America.”
The Presbyterian Minister’s Son
4. Viewing the terms used for Progressive icons like Wilson and Obama, one can recognize that they are acolytes of the most dynamic of religions, Leftism, and terms like Liberal, Progressive, Democrat are merely variations on that theme.
Leftism:
Continuing the themes of the French Revolution and the Enlightenment, reason and science replace morality and the Judeo-Christian religion, and man replaces God.
5.Watch how Hillary describes those on the Right as heretics of her ‘religion,’ and representatives of apostasy:
“Hillary Clinton told us…. a "basket of deplorables" who are "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic -- you name it." Lately, America's populist right has been called fascist and neo-Nazi.
This is the thinking that bred Antifa.”
And how Pat Buchanan correctly describes the issue:
“As for those on the right -- as they watch the left disparage the old heroes, tear down their monuments, purge Christianity from their public schools -- they have come to conclude that their enemies are at root anti-Christian and anti-American.
How do we unify a nation where the opposing camps believe this?
What the Trump-establishment war is about is the soul of America, a war in which a compromise on principle can be seen as a betrayal.” The War for the Soul of America
Can I get an 'Amen!'
What does politics have to do with religion? Even if Christians are considered alone, Christians are of all kinds politically. There are millions of Christians in the U.S. who do not identify with the republican party. There are millions of Christians in the United States who do not identify with people like like graham and jeffress and the family research council.
Christians split all of the time. Get real. Last presidential election, I voted for the Methodist.

Can you name two or three of the books that have informed your (snicker) political outlook?

7. In love with their own abilities, those who claim descent from the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, promise all things to all people. The result of replacing traditional religion with this false one, Progressivism, Communism, whatever collectivist view one chooses, results in the century of slaughter, at a cost of over 100 million human lives.
“If the French revolution was the end of monarchy and aristocratic privilege and the emergence of the common man and democratic rights, it was also the beginnings of modern totalitarian government and large-scale executions of "enemies of the People" by impersonal government entities (Robespierre's "Committee of Public Safety").
This legacy would not reach its fullest bloom until the tragic arrival of the German Nazis and Soviet and Chinese communists of the 20th century.” French Revolution - Robespierre, and the Legacy of the Reign of Terror
8. Woodrow Wilson carried on the theme:
“…Wilson observed that organized religion had yet to devise practical solutions to the problems of the world. Christ had articulated the ideal, Wilson said, but he had offered no instructions on how to attain it.
“That is the reason why I am proposing a practical scheme to carry out his aims.”
The Presbyterian Minister’s Son

9. …. those who accept the collectivist agenda don’t read, don’t think, don’t learn. See what happens when you ask a Progressive/Liberal what books have informed their political outlook…just a puzzled look.
Concomitant with the above, the lack of reading and of knowledge, leaves Progressives ignorant of how closely they are associated and aligned with the National Socialists, the Nazis.
First, the Nazis copied the Progressives/Democrats Immigration Policies.
Only the ‘right races’ welcomed.
“Progressives opposed immigration and enacted several immigration restrictions during the 1920s. Progressives also tried to force immigrants to adopt Progressive moral beliefs.” Progressive Movement - Ohio History Central
And… Immigrant Restrictions During the Progressive Era | Synonym
Hitler lauded the Progressives’ immigration policies.
“By refusing immigration on principle to elements in poor health, by simply excluding certain racesfrom naturalization, it professes in slow beginnings a view which is peculiar to the folkish state concept.”
“Mein Kampf,” chapter three
“…Hitler learned from progressive sterilization laws that had been enacted in America through the influence of activists like Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. “I have studied with great interest the laws of several American states concerning prevention of reproduction by people whose progeny would in all probability be of no value or be injurious to the racial stock.”
Hitler’s views—which closely parallel Sanger’s—provided the basis for the Nazi sterilization laws of 1933 which began by targeting “imbeciles” and the mentally retarded, and later expanded to cover Jews, gypsies, and other social undesirables.”
Dinesh D’Souza: What Hitler Learned from the Democrats
Hitler wrote to the president of the American Eugenics Society to ask for a copy of his “The Case for Sterilization.”
(Margaret Sanger and Sterilization)
German race science stood on American progressive’s shoulders.
Quite a ‘religion,’ that Progressive/Nazi thing, huh?
Yet, we find this:
Ms. Clinton: “"I prefer the word ‘progressive,’ which has a real American meaning, going back to the progressive era at the beginning of the 20th century.”
So what exactly is a progressive?
Sieg Heil Hillary!

10. Time and again we see similar results when government assumes the role of a religion.
“Wilson, in his time, also starred in a great Allied victory, another tragedy that explored the conflict in the American conscience between the precepts of Christ, on the one hand, and the ideas of Machiavelli, on the other.
In the context of Wilson’s war—the world war that we would later stipulate with the Roman numeral I—did the Prince of Peace have anything useful to say about the idiotic slaughter on the Western Front? A related question: What would the upshot be if an American president attempted to function—as Wilson tried to do—in the roles of both Christ and Caesar? Who would render what unto whom? By whose rules—Christ’s or Caesar’s—was the game to be played?
Or did Wilson somehow fuse Christ and Caesar (Prince of Peace and Prince of War) in such a way that he ushered into the world the American naiveté-plus-power that led Graham Greene, years later, to state that “their innocence makes Americans the most dangerous people in the world”? Greene made that remark in the 1950s, in the context of Dien Bien Phu, as the French colonials bailed out of Indochina. The Americans would arrive in Vietnam soon enough, to squander their billions and their blood and their Wilsonian illusions.”

11. What is interesting….amusing….is that Progressives despise religion, yet attempt to advance their view by hiding in the draping’s of religion. They seek validation of the Bible, claiming that it and Christ himself, was a socialist.
No, the Bible does not endorse socialism.
“Woodrow Wilson portrayed himself as a moralist, but his view of minorities belies this claim. His moralism was theatrical, even Shakespearean, and enacted itself on a large historical scale. I don’t believe that he considered that blacks possessed sufficient moral stature to be players on the great stage of history or, at least, on the great stage of his own mind. Given his Southern background and his father’s Confederate affinities, Wilson could not quite assimilate blacks to his moral romance of America, or, for that matter, to his practice of government.
He acquiesced in the racial segregation of civil servants in his administration, in the Post Office and the Treasury and other agencies. When black leaders protested, he expressed his regret, but he needed to pacify Southern Democrats in the Senate to get his legislative program passed. (Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy would have recourse to the same rationale.)” The Presbyterian Minister’s Son
12. Wilson screened “Birth of a Nation” at the White House, saying “It is like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true,” and FDR nominated a KKKer as his first Supreme Court choice.
"This attitude dovetails with what is known about FDR's views regarding immigrants in general and Asian immigrants in particular.... He recommended that future immigration should be limited to those who had "blood of the right sort." "
FDR's troubling view of Jews
Democrats have always been the party of slavery, segregation, and second-class citizenship.
Always.
Rule #2
To know what the Left is guilty of, just watch what they blame the other side of doing.
No, the Bible does not endorse socialism.

13. Woodrow Wilson was a Presbyterian minister’s son, yet his religious upbringing was bent by the Progressive doctrines, Germanic in origin, that were pervasive in academia from mid-19th century on.
They turned Hegel’s concept into worship: The German philosopher Hegel said, “The state says … you must obey …. The state has rights against the individual; its members have obligations, among them that of obeying without protest”
The ‘disease’ of collectivism, communism, disguised as social justice was widespread.
And it's substitute for religion was equally widespread.
In 1907, a group of Methodists formed the Methodist Federation for Social Service (MFSS). The aim was to influence other Protestant groups. The next day, the group is received by President Theodore Roosevelt in the White House. One of the leaders, Harry F. Ward drafts a Social Creed that will be adopted by the 1908 General Conference and by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America.
MFSA » History Timeline
In the early Twenties the Communist Party made considerable gains in its program to infiltrate the churches. This effort was led by such prominent "American" clergymen as Harry F. Ward ( "one of the leading collaborators of, and apologists for, the Soviet Union." ...), Jerome Davis, William B. Spofford, and Albert Rhys Williams. at the 1942 convention of the Federal Council of Churches called for: Ultimately, "a world government of delegated powers." Complete abandonment of U.S. isolationism. Strong immediate limitations on national sovereignty. International control of all armies and navies. A universal system of money.... Worldwide freedom of immigration. Progressive elimination of all tariff and quota restrictions on world trade .... A "democratically controlled" international bank .... http://www.reformed-theology.org/html/issue07/apostasy.htm
The Social Gospel enthusiasts switched the aim from labor rights to attacks on the “profit motive,” …capitalism.
“The church, therefore, in the opinion of the federation, must accept
the Marxist point of view…
The federation, therefore, wants the religious leaders to preach a religious creed, not based upon the Bible and in defense of the American way of life, but one that is based upon the atheistic foundations of the philosophy of Marx. The federation wants the ministers to declare their judgment against the social economic system under which Americans live and prosper today in favor of the Socialist system, which in Russia and the satellite countries has brought the peoples.”

...a religious creed, not based upon the Bible ...based upon the atheistic foundations of the philosophy of Marx.
The greatest support for this abomination, of course, came from Franklin Roosevelt, based on his adoration of the homicidal maniac, Joseph Stalin.
Like Woodrow Wilson, many of today’s Christians and Jews still imagine themselves belonging to the traditional religions based on those titles…..
Of course, the real test is which lever they pull in the voting booth.

14. Wilson and the Progressives validate this adage:
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
Wilson loved, craved, and glorified power. In “Congressional Government,” he wrote: “I cannot imagine power as a thing negative and not positive.” Centralization of government logically follows from this idea, as does the obviation of checks and balances. This love of power is an essential hallmark of totalist systems such as fascism, communism as well as progressivism.
An enlightened view of this thinking can be found in a statement by George Orwell: “Where this age differs from those immediately preceding it is that a liberal intelligentsia is lacking. Bully-worship, under various disguises, has become a universal religion,…” http://www.lehman.edu/deanhum/philosophy/BRSQ/06may/orwell.htm
Herbert Croly, the intellectual link between Wilson and FDR, and founding editor of ‘The New Republic,’ wrote ‘The Promise of American Life,’ wherein we find a veritable checklist of fascist characteristics.: the need to mobilize society like an army, spiritual rebirth, the necessity of revolutionary leaders, reliance on manufactured, unifying national ‘myths,’ contempt for parliamentary democracy, non-Marxist Socialism, nationalism, a spiritual calling for military expansion, the need to make politics into a religion.
And it has come to pass. All must bend the neck and the knee to Progressivism/Liberalsim.

15. "Wilson’s two terms in office provide the clearest historical window into the soul of progressivism. Wilson’s racism, his ideological rigidity, and his antipathy toward the Constitution were all products of the progressive worldview. And since “progressivism” is suddenly in vogue – today’s leading Democrats proudly wear the label – it’s worth actually reviewing what progressivism was and what actually happened under the last full-throated progressive president.
The record should give sober pause to anyone who’s mesmerized by the progressive promise.
But they don’t even understand their own intellectual history."
The First “Progressive” President - Transterrestrial Musings
16. This is the oath Woodrow Wilson swore on a Bible:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
This is the Progressive’s real view:
“ Justly revered as our great Constitution is, it could be stripped off and thrown aside like a garment, and the nation would still stand forth in the living vestment of flesh and sinew, warm with the heart-blood of one people, ready to recreate constitutions and laws. …” Woodrow Wilson [Woodrow Wilson
"The Modern Democratic State" (1885; first published in 1966)
