Progressives, Liberals, proceed from ignorance. A more generous person than I might quote Luke 23:34: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

I won’t forgive, because there is no excuse for not knowing.



1.They say you can’t know where you’re going unless you know where you come from. That may or may not be true in geographic terms, but it is true in terms of political views.

Political thought in America is split in its origins, between England, and the continent, specifically Germany.




2. Real Americans, classical liberals, what we call conservatives today, trace their views and those of our Founders, largely, to England.

One example is in law. In 528 Tribonian was selected, with John the Cappodocian, to prepare the new imperial legal code, the Codex Juris Civilis, or the Code of Justinian. Rome had a legal system dating back to the ‘Twelve Tables,’ written in 451 BCE, based on the 6th century BCE work of Solon of Athens.

Fifteen centuries later, the Codex still exerts its influence on Europe and is known as the Civil Law tradition. The Inquisition, Renaissance, the Napoleonic Code, and the Holocaust are all, in part, an outgrowth of the lex regia: “The will of the prince has the force of law.”( Quod principi placuit, legis haget vigorem) Today, European law gives preeminence to legislatures, the institution that drafted the statute prevails.

In Anglo-American Common Law tradition, the institution that interprets and adjudicates the statute has the final word.

Due to the absence of a jury, and the deference to whomever writes the laws, Civil Law tradition is friendlier to tyrannical regimes than ours, the Common Law tradition. [See Rosen, “Justinian’s Flea”]

As the Common Law made the system accept, equally, the testimony of every person, it made equality its byword.
This was the legal force behind the exchange economy.
The single most important feature of the law that made England, and then America, the engines of prosperity, is equality before the law. A strong argument can be made that this concept emerged from the Judeo-Christian influence, the Bible, Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness,” 
suddenly made every individual special, and made the argument against slavery.



A successful nation is built individualism, not the collectivism of the herd.
Individuals favors freedom of conscience, collectivism is based on coercion of the majority.

The Founders of America knew how to do that. They planned a nation built on these there pillars: individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
They could do this because English settlers brought with them, The Common Law, and not the law of Europe, The Civil Law.




3. If one’s political views follow from the English, it is the individual that is the focus of society, not the government or the collective.

If one’s views come form the continent, from Germany, the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.




Why don’t they teach this in government school? Because Progressives control government school.

4. If you are a Progressive, a Modern Liberal, a Communist or a Democrat, your views come not from England, but from Germany. The Founders, classical liberals, conservatives beliefs from England
.the island nation.


By late 19th century, the political theories of Germany had insinuated its way into academia in America, and the majority of early Presidents, most of whom were taught by German-influenced tutors and teachers. Neither Theodore Roosevelt nor Woodrow Wilson felt wedded to the Constitution, or to the individual over the collective.





5. The Germans have a history of embracing authoritarian rule. As 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” (Ralf Dahrendorf, "Society and Democracy in Germany").
Pretty much the view of today's Democrats/Liberals/Progressives.




"Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz" ("The community comes before the individual") concretizes the collectivist belief that individuals have no rights and that "the greater good" is the only standard of value. Under such a system, man is not an end to himself, only a tool to be sacrificed for the FĂŒhrer, autocrat or ruling mob.

Only capitalism regards man as a sovereign individual with an inalienable right to his own life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Government recognition and protection of individual rights is the hallmark of a moral, peaceful, productive society."
http://sipseystreetirregularsnd.blogspot.com/2011/12/lie-before-crime-gemeinnutz-geht-vor.html




One has to be amused at the ignorance of government school grads who try to label conservatives, Republicans, those on the Right as "Nazis" when they share the political doctrines with real Nazis.



Both Stalin and Hitler pursued notions that come from Germany.

Not so for Americans.
 
6. From England, via the Magna Carta, we find a celebration of inalienable rights.


The most important word in the Declaration of Independence is found here:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, 
”

The word is ‘secure.’



secure
verb
secured
; securing

transitive verb

1a: to relieve from exposure to danger : act to make safe against adverse contingenciessecure a supply line from enemy raids

b: to put beyond hazard of losing or of not receiving : GUARANTEE secure the blessings of liberty— U.S. Constitution




That means that the most important function of government is to maintain pre-existing rights, not to create them, nor to dispense them. They are known and self-evident prior to the founding of our nation, are inalienable, whether one chooses to use them or not.

Men are created equal, and enjoy the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.



Guess what the Progressives feel about the rights guaranteed by our memorializing documents: that they don't exist.
You have no rights unless government feels like issuing them.....
Democrats
Progressives
Liberals
Nazis.
 
7. From Germany, the Progressives learned to deny that there are any truths, or rights, not agreed to by government.

"The second crisis of the American regime--our crisis--is of a different character. It had its origins in the 1870s and in the 1880s in the most unlikely of places: among the political offspring of Abraham Lincoln. It began within the Republican Party, within the liberal wing of Evangelical Christianity, and it had its initial home in the universities.


Its proponents called themselves Progressives. They inhabited universities constituted on the German model. They thought of themselves as scientists exploring new frontiers. They were powerfully influenced by Hegel's Phenomenology of Right and by the social Darwinism inspired by Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species.


For Abraham Lincoln, almost without exception, they expressed admiration; but under the influence of Hegel and Darwin, they abandoned as outmoded the notion, asserted by the Founding Fathers and reasserted by Lincoln, that the Declaration of Independence embodied self-evident truths. Under these influences, they came to see the Constitution as outmoded; and when the generation to which they belonged came to exercise leadership, in 1912, they advocated jettisoning both."
Soft Despotism, Democracy's Drift: What Tocqueville Teaches Today




From Hegel- the primacy of government over the individual

From Darwin- man over God.

Hence
every totalitarian view.

....er, .....communism?
 
To review....
If you are conservative, right-wing.....your political views come from England

If you are communist, Nazi, Liberal, socialist, Progressive, or Fascist....your political views come from Hegel and Marx, ....from Germany.



8. “Of the foreign languages that [Theodore] Roosevelt mastered, the most important was German
.His interest in things German was congruent with a strong inclination of the American intelligentsia
.Roosevelt’s intellectually formative years coincided with
’the Hegelian moment in American politics.’



found in Hegel
the embodiment of the ethical life of the nation
.the idealization of the bureaucratic state administered by supposedly disinterested experts
[and] this ideal justified the conclusion that the separation of powers was an anachronism no longer necessary or even tolerable.” George Will, Op. Cit.



Never having given the government school indoctrination any thought, government school graduates not only don’t know that they have been forced to endorse the collective, oppose the separation of powers, and checks and balances, and a tyranny of bureaucrats




9. “Progressives have been waging intellectual war on American constitutionalism for more than a century. Woodrow Wilson preferred German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who inspired Karl Marx, to Jefferson and Madison. In this respect, there’s nothing new under the sun. There’s also a bit of projecting their own arrogance onto their opponents."

....er, .....communism?

A political offshoot of communal-ism.
 
Progressives worship government....and the lifes-blood of a growing government is......taxes!!!



10.It is eminently simple to prove is how ignorant Democrat voters are
.after all, they don’t recognize that a vote for that party is a vote against private property, and against prosperity.

Every one of the Leftist political philosophies is some iteration of "...the State 'has the supreme right against the individual, whose supreme duty is to be a member of the State... for the right of the world spirit is above all special privileges.'" Author/historian William Shirer, quoting Georg Hegel in his The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1959, page 144)



All of these are based on that premise: Communism, Socialism, Liberalism, Progressivism, Fascism, and Nazism.

You don’t care to bake a cake per the instructions of some authorized group, and a coercive government power takes your livelihood away.

They don’t believe you have any rights other than the ones they decide you should have.




Here it is in the words of A.B. “Happy” Chandler, a former Kentucky governor, and FDR supporter:

“[A]ll of us owe the government; we owe it for everything we have—and that is the basis of obligation—and the government can take everything we have if the government needs it. . . . The government can assert its right to have all the taxes it needs for any purpose, either now or at any time in the future."
Folsom and Folsom, "FDR Goes To War."


That tax money?
You owe it to government.
Sieg Heil, Progressives.
 
11. The Germanic doctrines, those of Hegel and Marx, are the pillars upon which Progressivism, Liberalism, and the Democrat Party agenda, rest.



It is from our roots in England that the supremacy of private property arises.

If you doubt that regulation and taxation didn’t do the same thing to private property rights as outright confiscation, you should review what ‘private property’ means.


“In an influential essay published in 1961, Professor Tony Honore of Oxford wrote this description of private property:
‘The most important are the rights to use the thing and to exclude others from doing so, to alter its physical configuration, to enjoy its fruits, including its income, and, not the least, to transfer the title of ownership to another.
And, ownership means much the same thing in different legal systems.’
Tom Bethell, “The Noblest Triumph,” p. 19


If you own property, if it is ‘private’ per the above definition, can you leave it to your heirs?
As a method of ending private ownership, on May 1,1918 inheritance was outlawed in Bolshevik Russia.

And this 'coincidence'......
"Obama Set To Propose Taxes On Capital Gains, Inheritance, And Wall Street"
Obama Set To Propose Taxes On Capital Gains, Inheritance, And Wall Street - Shadowproof




One more time: are your political views of English origin, or Germanic?
 
12. Frequently, and correctly, ‘efficiency’ is noted as a defining German characteristic. And no where is that attribute more prevalent than in the political doctrines of Progressivism. To make government more ‘efficient,’ it became imperative to do away with the Founder’s checks and balances, this ideal justified the conclusion that the separation of powers was an anachronism no longer necessary or even tolerable.


Private property? Fuhgeddaboudit
.

“Teddy Roosevelt, in his “New Nationalism” speech” rightly maintains that every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it.” New Nationalism Speech by Theodore Roosevelt




And his view of the Constitution?

‘Well known is TR's outburst, when told the Constitution did not permit the confiscation of private property: "To hell with the Constitution when the people want coal!" Less well known is that at one point TR summoned General John M. Schofield, instructing him: "I bid you pay no heed to any other authority, no heed to a writ from a judge, or anything else except my commands."’ 33 Questions About American History You're Not Supposed to Ask. By Thomas E. Woods, Jr. (p. 139) see 33 Questions About American History You're Not Supposed to Ask, by Thomas E. Woods, Jr. | David Gordon




And the recent Progressive abjuring separation of powers?

“Wielding A Pen And A Phone, Obama Goes It Alone

He's talking about the tools a president can use if Congress isn't giving him what he wants: executive actions and calling people together. It's another avenue the president is using to pursue his economic agenda.”

You’re even dumber than you look. The Acadians weren’t “evicted” because of their religion, you dumb dolt, they fled because they were FRENCH, after the English defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham. Americans bastardized the word Acadians turning it into Cajuns.

Every time you post, you post bullshit and lies, wherein you change history to suit whatever false narrative you’re pushing this week.
 
Progressives, Liberals, proceed from ignorance. A more generous person than I might quote Luke 23:34: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

I won’t forgive, because there is no excuse for not knowing.



1.They say you can’t know where you’re going unless you know where you come from. That may or may not be true in geographic terms, but it is true in terms of political views.

Political thought in America is split in its origins, between England, and the continent, specifically Germany.




2. Real Americans, classical liberals, what we call conservatives today, trace their views and those of our Founders, largely, to England.

One example is in law. In 528 Tribonian was selected, with John the Cappodocian, to prepare the new imperial legal code, the Codex Juris Civilis, or the Code of Justinian. Rome had a legal system dating back to the ‘Twelve Tables,’ written in 451 BCE, based on the 6th century BCE work of Solon of Athens.

Fifteen centuries later, the Codex still exerts its influence on Europe and is known as the Civil Law tradition. The Inquisition, Renaissance, the Napoleonic Code, and the Holocaust are all, in part, an outgrowth of the lex regia: “The will of the prince has the force of law.”( Quod principi placuit, legis haget vigorem) Today, European law gives preeminence to legislatures, the institution that drafted the statute prevails.

In Anglo-American Common Law tradition, the institution that interprets and adjudicates the statute has the final word.

Due to the absence of a jury, and the deference to whomever writes the laws, Civil Law tradition is friendlier to tyrannical regimes than ours, the Common Law tradition. [See Rosen, “Justinian’s Flea”]

As the Common Law made the system accept, equally, the testimony of every person, it made equality its byword.
This was the legal force behind the exchange economy.
The single most important feature of the law that made England, and then America, the engines of prosperity, is equality before the law. A strong argument can be made that this concept emerged from the Judeo-Christian influence, the Bible, Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness,” 
suddenly made every individual special, and made the argument against slavery.



A successful nation is built individualism, not the collectivism of the herd.
Individuals favors freedom of conscience, collectivism is based on coercion of the majority.

The Founders of America knew how to do that. They planned a nation built on these there pillars: individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
They could do this because English settlers brought with them, The Common Law, and not the law of Europe, The Civil Law.




3. If one’s political views follow from the English, it is the individual that is the focus of society, not the government or the collective.

If one’s views come form the continent, from Germany, the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.




Why don’t they teach this in government school? Because Progressives control government school.
Isn't Louisiana law based on Civil Law?

Interesting that you know that.

The folks who populated Louisiana originally were French Canadians, evicted due to religion. Cajuns.

They brought European law with them.

Oooo......what a shocker, me correct, you as usual.....a moron.



"Some Acadians remained neutral and refused the unconditional oath. The difficulty was partly religious, as the British monarch was the head of the Protestant Church of England and the Acadians were Roman Catholic."
