Leading us down a path of tyranny is one thing, but to pass awards out as they "progress" towards tyranny?
That is just sick. They now are proud of lying and wish to shove this in our face because they are the ones in control, not the voters.
Agreed. The elites (the Political class), are patting themselves on the back for their ingenuity for taking 100 years to create the new slavery with themselves in charge.
It is all about disempowerment because in the mind of a liberal, individual freedom for the masses is evil. This is because we eat too much, drive cares that are too big, live in houses too big, use light bulbs that use too much energy etc.
This disempowerment comes in three forms because our power is in three forms.
1. Wealth. Make it near impossible to become wealthy reduces the number of those who have a chance at changing politics like the Founding Fathers did with their wealth.
2. Weapons. Take away their weapons so that an uprising is near impossible like the Founding Fathers did.
3. Knowledge. Take away the power of our knowledge with such things as a public education system that comes in 48th in the world. Just imagine how fruitless the American revolution would have been had the Founding Fathers not been wise and educated. All of their efforts would have been in vain had they not created a sustainable form of government that was sensitive to personal freedom.
If Progressives are able to continue to wage war against these three things, then we will suffer the same fate at the slaves on the plantation.
