…and of the Fascists, Communists, Liberals or Progressives.
1.The preeminent Progressive, Woodrow Wilson, wrote in an 1890 essay “Leaders of Men,” “Resistance is left to the minority. And such as will not be convinced are crushed.”
The philosophical understanding that rights are created by political power requires a government with nearly unlimited power effect those rights, a government with the power to “crush” those who stand in the way of “progress.” Upon this foundation, this philosophical understanding of power, is built the left-wing penchant for violence.
Herein we find the echo of the Progressives’ inspiration, Hegel, who said of a leader: “But so mighty a form must trample down many an innocent flower or crush to pieces many an object in its path.”
This is the doctrine of Nazis….and of Progressvies.
These are your politics if you vote Democrat.
2.If you are a Progressive, a Modern Liberal, a Communist or a Democrat, your views come not from England, but from Germany, from Hegel, Marx and Nazi Germany. The Founders, classical liberals, conservatives….from Locke, the island nation, Britain.
By late 19th century, the political theories of Germany had insinuated its way into academia, 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. Germanic concepts.
3. “[Democrat racist Woodrow] Wilson was the first President to criticize the American founding, which he did with a root-and-branch thoroughness. Few people nowadays recognize the radicalism of the Wilsonian and progressive repudiation of the Founder’s project. For progressives then and now, moving up from the Founder’s cramped, premodern, and unscientific vision of political possibilities is central to the very definition of progress.”
George Will, “The Conservative Sensibility,” p.68
4. Due to the binary nature of our political system, there are only two parties that have a chance to win national election. The choice is always to pick the one closest to the constellation of one’s political beliefs and wishes.
Woodrow Wilson, as the consummate Progressive, you can choose either Wilson or Teddy Roosevelt as the first, but Wilson made his loathing of the Founders most clear, and here are his problems with those who founded this nation:
The Founders claimed universality for their most basic principles.
Wilson claimed that there are no self-evident rights for American citizens.
The Founders: all men are equally endowed with certain inalienable rights.
For Wilson, we have only the rights that government decides to give us, and they can be withdrawn.
For the Founders, government’s function is to secure and maintain those rights.
For the Founders, the power of government is based on the consent of the governed.
The powers of government are spelled out in the Constitution, a fixes document and the only one the people have consented to be governed by.
For Progressives, the Constitution is a ‘living’ document, that changes with the times, or when government says it does.
For the Founders, human nature was set and immutable.
For Wilson and the Progressives, it can and must be made plastic and malleable.
5. It is clear which party is closer to the views of the Founders, and which is closer to Wilson and Progressives, and the Nazis.
It is up to thinking individuals to make the determination as to which system of beliefs they find closer to their clearly thought out views. Of course, as a government school grad, you may simply be more comfortable following order than thinking about the agenda behind those orders.
