Under The Sway Of Foreign Diktats

[PoliticalChic]

Horace Walpole wrote: The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.
It is equally true that the world is amusing to those of us who have studied history.


Case in point: the Democrat Party, which mirrors nothing but foreign doctrines, is today pretending that the Republican President is aligned with a foreign power.
Amusing?




1.The predominant influences in the founding of America were English. Among the most quoted by the Founders were Sir William Blackstone and John Locke. OK…..there was that French guy, too…. Baron Charles de Montesquieu.

But our legal system was purely English, not continental. Today, European law, Civil 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 the Common Law tradition. (See “Justinian’s Flea,”by Wm. Rosen)




2. And those foreign diktats that innervate Democrats/Liberals/Progressives originated with the French Revolution.
There is the oft repeated story about Richard Nixon's visit to Beijing in 1972, during which the Chinese premier, Zhou Enlai, was asked about the impact of the French Revolution. Speaking of an event that took place nearly two centuries previously, Zhou famously commented that it was 'too early to say'.

The truth of the matter is that what the French Revolution stood for serves as the basis for our major political party today, the Democrat Party.





3. Englishman John Locke said that private property and the fruits of our labor are synonymous with liberty, while French favorite, Rousseau, said that property is the original sin of civilization, and that all property must be commonly held and regulated by government for the common good.

Locke believed in equality before the law, but not necessarily of equality of wealth, while Rousseau saw economic inequality as the source of all social ills.





In the most fundamental sense, one is neither philosophically nor politically American if one votes Democrat: rather, one is under the sway of foreign diktats.

Please do a better job of articulating your perspective....unless you fear its flaws will be exposed.

4. The infection seeped in during the 19th century. That time saw immense changes in America:
a. The US population went from around 5 million in 1800, to over 76 million in 1900.

b. Per capita GDP more than tripled.
Goldberg, “Suicide of the West,” chapter seven.




5. Those who could afford to, the elites, sent their sons to Germany to be educated. Guess what was on the “Today’s Specials” menus at those German universities: Marx and Hegel.
And guess what theme is prominent in the Democrat Party today:
“The state says … you must obey …. The state has rights against the individual; its members have obligations, among them that of obeying without protest” Hegel


a.“Philosophically, organizationally, and politically the progressives were as close to authentic homegrown fascists as any movement American has ever produced. Militaristic, fanatically nationalist, imperialist, racist, deeply involved in the promotion of Darwinian eugenics, enamored of the Bismarkian welfare state, statist beyond modern reckoning, the progressives represented the American flowering of a transatlantic movement, a profound reorientation toward the Hegelian and Darwinian collectivism imported from Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. “ Jonah Goldberg, “Liberal Fascism”

Sooo.....we can agree that you haven't the ability to articulate some sort of perspective.

You must be a government school grad, huh?

You're dismissed.

An excellent exposition of the Liberal modus operandi......do not engage in the debate, as you will lose, and embarrass Liberalism.

I kind of agree with you, 'cause, you know.....I'm never wrong.

Not only were you unable to point to a single error in my posts, but you weren't even able to provide a cogent elucidation of whatever you were trying to say.....


You must be a Liberal, huh?

Perhaps we can agree on always certain...

6. Democrats are Liberals and Progressives…..and vice versa.

Their ideas are Prussian/German, and unsuited for American democracy.



W.E.B. DuBois was a Socialist and Radical Democrat, who could trace his root to Germany.

DuBois had studied at the University of Berlin, and this itself was the almost universal among early progressives, who envied Bismarck’s welfare state, and Hegel’s philosophy. Hegel introduced a system for understanding the history of philosophy and the world itself, often described as a "progression in which each successive movement emerges as a resolution to the contradictions inherent in the preceding movement"
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel - Wikipedia



7. Woodrow Wilson learned administration under the tutelage of Richard Ely at Johns Hopkins who had himself studied under European specialists such as Bluntschli at Heidelberg. And the intellectual tradition in which he studied was both Hegelian and historicist. In the ‘Study’, Wilson was quite candid about the novelty of his ideas, confessing that the science of administration ‘is a foreign science, speaking very little the language of English or American principle. . . . It has been developed by French and German professors.’

It can hardly be said plainer that the Democratic Party was the party of slave based agriculture. That you cannot absorb that very simple point is neither my fault nor my concern.

Whereas the Republican Party was the party of the workers.

Republican Party Platform of 1956

Labor
Republican Party Platforms: Republican Party Platform of 1956
Under the Republican Administration, as our country has prospered, so have its people. This is as it should be, for as President Eisenhower said: "Labor is the United States. The men and women, who with their minds, their hearts and hands, create the wealth that is shared in this country—they are America."

The Eisenhower Administration has brought to our people the highest employment, the highest wages and the highest standard of living ever enjoyed by any nation. Today there are nearly 67 million men and women at work in the United States, 4 million more than in 1952. Wages have increased substantially over the past 3 1/2 years; but, more important, the American wage earner today can buy more than ever before for himself and his family because his pay check has not been eaten away by rising taxes and soaring prices.

The record of performance of the Republican Administration on behalf of our working men and women goes still further. The Federal minimum wage has been raised for more than 2 million workers. Social Security has been extended to an additional 10 million workers and the benefits raised for 6 1/2 million. The protection of unemployment insurance has been brought to 4 million additional workers. There have been increased workmen's compensation benefits for longshoremen and harbor workers, increased retirement benefits for railroad employees, and wage increases and improved welfare and pension plans for federal employees.

In addition, the Eisenhower Administration has enforced more vigorously and effectively than ever before, the laws which protect the working standards of our people.

Workers have benefited by the progress which has been made in carrying out the programs and principles set forth in the 1952 Republican platform. All workers have gained and unions have grown in strength and responsibility, and have increased their membership by 2 millions.

Furthermore, the process of free collective bargaining has been strengthened by the insistence of this Administration that labor and management settle their differences at the bargaining table without the intervention of the Government. This policy has brought to our country an unprecedented period of labor-management peace and understanding.

We applaud the effective, unhindered, collective bargaining which brought an early end to the 1956 steel strike, in contrast to the six months' upheaval, Presidential seizure of the steel industry and ultimate Supreme Court intervention under the last Democrat Administration.

The Eisenhower Administration will continue to fight for dynamic and progressive programs which, among other things, will:

Stimulate improved job safety of our workers, through assistance to the States, employees and employers;

Continue and further perfect its programs of assistance to the millions of workers with special employment problems, such as older workers, handicapped workers, members of minority groups, and migratory workers;

Strengthen and improve the Federal-State Employment Service and improve the effectiveness of the unemployment insurance system;

Protect by law, the assets of employee welfare and benefit plans so that workers who are the beneficiaries can be assured of their rightful benefits;

Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of Sex;

Clarify and strengthen the eight-hour laws for the benefit of workers who are subject to federal wage standards on Federal and Federally-assisted construction, and maintain and continue the vigorous administration of the Federal prevailing minimum wage law for public supply contracts;

Extend the protection of the Federal minimum wage laws to as many more workers as is possible and practicable;

Continue to fight for the elimination of discrimination in employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry or sex;

Provide assistance to improve the economic conditions of areas faced with persistent and substantial unemployment;

Revise and improve the Taft-Hartley Act so as to protect more effectively the rights of labor unions, management, the individual worker, and the public. The protection of the right of workers to organize into unions and to bargain collectively is the firm and permanent policy of the Eisenhower Administration. In 1954, 1955 and again in 1956, President Eisenhower recommended constructive amendments to this Act. The Democrats in Congress have consistently blocked these needed changes by parliamentary maneuvers. The Republican Party pledges itself to overhaul and improve the Taft-Hartley Act along the lines of these recommendations.

Seems you are still unable to articulate any point of significance to this thread.

8. The effect of the French Revolution’s program of replacing religion and morality with science and reason was central to early Progressives, and to today’s Democrats.

That ‘science and reason’ gave prominence to Darwin and the attempt to speed up ‘evolution.’ While science could tell society what could be done, it could not say what should be done.


Hence, the Progressive’s collectivize evolution of mankind via eugenics.




Although Progressives, Liberals, Democrats learned from European thinkers, as opposed to America’s Founders, when it came to eugenics, they taught Europe about sterilization and mass slaughter.

9.Madison Grant, eugenicist, was responsible for one of the most famous works of scientific racism, “The Passing of the Great Race,” sold some million and a half copies, and played an active role in crafting strong immigration restriction and anti-miscegenation laws in the United States. Grant's works of "scientific racism" have been cited to demonstrate that many of the genocidal and eugenic ideas associated with the Third Reich did not arise specifically in Germany, and in fact that many of them had origins in other countries including the United States."
Edwin Black: War Against the Weak. Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race, Four Walls Eight Windows: 2003, pp. 259, 273, 274-275, 296

1. 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 progressives' shoulders.
2. Many British socialists, including Sidney Webb, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, John Maynard Keynes, Aldous Huxley, paragons to American progressives, were enthralled with eugenics.

Democrat, Liberal, Progressive doctrine was wholly foreign....an affront to the Founders of America.

That the Republican Party Platform of 1956 mirrored the French Revolution more than does the Democratic Party today, which originated as the party of slave based agriculture. That you appear to have ignored a large slice of history.

It's because of Moon meeting with Un, isn't it? Your world view is disintegrating and you're becoming even more frantic.
