 Progressives don’t know history, nor do they care about it.  All they seem to understand is that their bellies are full by some mysterious event called a job, which they seem not to know anything about how the jobs are created, just that they are there.  Like ants when they realize that a human being has just accidentally crushed a nest they had spent a lot of time building, progressives are seeing their dreams established by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Second Bill of Rights, erode away. Van Jones has been hired by some of those ants to attempt to hold their dream of America together.

These ants are now fluttering about in frantic fury, attempting a new way to present their old message as millions of Americans are beginning to finally reject the infestation that the progressive has created into the fabric of the United States.

Labor unions rooted in socialism and progressives trying to create a European Utopia, as envisioned by Sir Thomas More 1478-1535, have planted so many seeds into the United States quietly, that many people just blindly accepted that all these big government desires were the way it was always supposed to be. More was an English politician, humanist scholar, and writer who refused to comply with the Act of Supremacy, by which English subjects were enjoined to recognize Henry VIII’s authority over the pope, and was imprisoned in the Tower of London and beheaded for treason. His political essay Utopia (1516), speculates about life under an ideal government. More was canonized in 1935. Progressives love Thomas More. Notice that he was canonized during this progressive period where in the United States; Franklin Roosevelt was imposing his own form of Utopia on America through the New Deal. It was in this spirit of More, that progressives sought to rebuild society. 400 years later, the man who had been imprisoned and killed in England was suddenly a hero.

FDR had no right to impose on America his New Deal. Roosevelt endorsed numerous new federal programs and agencies to reduce unemployment and restore prosperity, resulting in increased government involvement in the lives of Americans. The intent was good, and at the time, people wanted the relief. Yet this was a moment that the United States Constitution was trampled with disrespect. It is this America that is being destroyed because it was a false America to begin with, brought to us by a president who was playing with socialism, but calling it, “The New Deal.”

(2) The stock market crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression. Unemployment increased and economic security was threatened. Farmers lost their land, workers lost their jobs, and many Americans lost their savings as thousands of banks closed. Campaigning on promises of a new deal for the American people, Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt won the presidential election of 1932.

Upon taking office in 1933, Roosevelt immediately supported a flood of new legislation. Laws established federal inspections and insurance for banks and mandated regulations for the securities market. Several bills provided mortgage relief for farmers and homeowners and offered loan guarantees for home purchasers. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) employed thousands of young men, while the Agricultural Adjustment Act helped raise agricultural prices. Congress established the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to develop the Tennessee River region. The National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) provided for a vastly expanded public works effort and a program to regulate American business.

Hopes for early recovery proved illusory, and a second flood of legislation began in 1935. Sometimes called the Second New Deal, its measures included higher taxes for the rich, strict regulations for private utilities, subsidies for rural electrification, and what amounted to a bill of rights for organized labor. Guided by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, the National Labor Relations Act gave workers federal protection in the bargaining process and established fair employment standards. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act mandated maximum hours and minimum wages for many workers. The Social Security Act of 1935 created a retirement fund, unemployment insurance, and welfare grants for local distribution (see Social Security). After 1937 opposition to extending the New Deal mounted, and by 1939 public attention had become focused on foreign policy and national defense.

The New Deal expanded the role of the federal government— particularly in economic regulation, resource development, and income maintenance— and created a number of agencies that remain in existence. Although the New Deal failed to stimulate full economic recovery, it helped the government develop policies to limit the impact of later recessions. Where Roosevelt left off in domestic policy, trampling all over the U.S Constitution, Lyndon Baines Johnson picked up.

Johnson (1908-1973), 36th president of the United States (1963-1969). He became president on November 22, 1963, hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Texas. Johnson’s domestic program, which he called the Great Society, was an extension of the New Deal enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s and 1940s.

Within three months the new president had the satisfaction of seeing a new civil rights bill pass the House and a new tax cut bill get through the Senate. In February he asked for two further measures: a law to protect consumers from unsafe products and deceptive packaging; and a program known as Medicare, an extensive scheme for hospital and nursing-home care for the elderly through social security (see Medicare and Medicaid). The president’s greatest legislative triumph was the passage in June of a sweeping civil rights bill outlawing racial discrimination in public accommodations and by employers, unions, and voting registrars.

All these presidents were well-intentioned, just like most progressives are. However, there are plenty of thieves willing to take advantage of those political positions for their own quests for power. People like George Soros without question have plans to build their own social utopia, and they will use people like Richard Trumka, and Van Jones to get it. If you ever want to know the truth, always follow the money. Then it will become obvious what the motives are.

And now that those utopian dreams are in jeopardy, there is frantic movement hoping to pull everything back together again. Progressives are attempting to put on a kinder, gentler face now, where in the past they used extortion and protests to impose themselves on presidents like Johnson and Roosevelt. And the Constitution was trampled upon with well-meaning audacity and now those who reside in power fear losing that power to the strength of the Constitution, because that is the current trend.

This leaves progressives with car salesman like Van Jones to put on a good face to the movement and hope that Jones can sell America back onto progressivism by convincing them that lies are the truth and the truth are the lies. “We aren’t broke,” Jones says. “Just take money from the rich, and everything will be fine.” Such irresponsibility is the last resort of the insect that has spent its whole life building a nest for the security of society with the secret desire to being the king. Such is the desire of all propionates of any utopian culture, which brings to my mind the words of William Goldring.

“Utopias are presented for our inspection as a critique of the human state. If they are to be treated as anything but trivial exercises of the imagination. I suggest there is a simple test we can apply. . . . We must forget the whole paraphernalia of social description, demonstration, expostulation, approbation, condemnation. We have to say to ourselves, “How would I myself live in this proposed society? How long would it be before I went stark staring mad?”

William Golding (1911–93), British author. “Utopias And Antiutopias,” address, 13 Feb. 1977, to Les Anglicistes, Lille, France (repr. in A Moving Target, 1982).

Yes, Van Jones, yes, Richard Trumka, we need to take a wrecking ball to the world you are defending, because it is not American by the definition of America. Progressive views do not belong in the America I want to live in. The America you built belongs in the Soviet Union and Europe at large. The promises and rights progressives like Jones and Trumka talk about are simply the Ten Planks of Communism. Those are not part of America. They are the wonderings of humorists like Thomas More and Karl Marx.

But as the ant house is destroyed, and they all run around in anger, it is important to know that it’s good that they are so upset even if we feel sorry for them. They had no right to set up an ant colony in a capitalist system with the intent to wreck our lives. Their demise is purely their own fault and no amount of kind words and manipulation can cover up what they really stand for, an America that trades freedom for security, and independence for a big brother to hold our hand as we cross the street filled with dangers created by that same big brother in order to make their presence appear useful. It’s coming to an end in a battle that is about to end their experiment of destruction.

  2. Van Jones’ “dream” is a nightmare with monumental scary repercussions. The ideas of a “Utopia” for people like Barack Obama, Van Jones. Richard Trumka, William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Saul Alinsky, Kwame Kilpatrick, Louis Farrakhan, Raila Odenga, Richard Daley and the rest of communists that think they have all the answers is simply control of all the money and power in the world to be used at their discretion. Unfortunately, these people have zero discretion and only selfish – self motivated wants. Notice how the Obama family and friends have to have the very best of everything. Over a billion dollars spent on their travel expenses alone. Mrs. Obama has, at last count, 23 courtiers at her disposal. Did Cleopatra have that many?

    We need to get back to the basics of our Constitution. We can’t afford to destroy our nation by wasting money all over the world. Tonight I watched a special on the decay of our infrastructure. Bridges are crumbling, sewers and water mains are leaking, Bridges are becoming more and more dangerous, our roads are in disrepair and need replacing. The grid is at risk and dams and levees are in a very dangerous condition. Instead of maintaining our own problems we spend trillions of dollars supporting other countries that are now surpassing us.

    When Obama took office, thousands of signs sprouted up all over the national highways. These signs announced road and bridge projects ahead. There is one such sign that I pass often on I-71. At first I thought it was an Obama logo sign, but looking closer, it was a just a close design of his logo. So far, we have seen none of those shovel ready jobs. The stimulus money was doled out to the banks, unions and friends of the Emperor. In the meantime, Air Force One is on the way to another golfing destination.

  3. Liberals and progressives believe in the philosophy of Carl Marx and Lenin.
    June 29, 2011 by James Garrett

    Liberal, progressives, Marxists democrats are the bases for all Americas problems and why nothing makes any sense. This is where I believe it all started. Modern day Liberals and progressives whom are all in the Democratic Party in America practice and believe the philosophy of Carl Marx and Lenin. Vladimir Ilich Lenin Founded the Russian Communist party and led the 1917 Russian Revolution.

    This is one of Lenin’s many quotes and it is the primary problem with the entire educational system and the country. After you read it you will be able to identify every single problem with our educational system from K-12 and in our collages. My experience in dealing with liberal collage educated people and college professors as a business owner for over 30 years was they are some on the dumbest people I ever knew and here is why.

    Vladimir Ilyich Lenin’s Quote:

    Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial, and destroy their ruggedness. Get control of all means of publicity, and thereby get the peoples mind off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays and other trivialities. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.

    This was the philosophy of Lenin and this is what the liberals practice and has done in the United States educational system. They have gotten control over everything Lenin has in his statement. The statement is pure evil and there is nothing ethical in his beliefs system. The liberals and progressives are the problem and until you get rid of every last one of them, the problems in all our systems of education or the economy will not change.

    Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924) was a Russian revolutionary, author, lawyer, economic theorist, political philosopher, creator of the Soviet Communist Party, leader of the 1917 October Revolution, and founder of the USSR. As head of the Bolsheviks (1917–1924) he led the Red Army to victory in the Russian Civil War, before establishing the world’s first officially socialist state (communist). As a theorist, his extensive theoretical and philosophical contributions to Marxism produced Leninism.

    My fact based opinion of Lenin is he’s an idiot, the same as anyone who would follow him or his so-called philosophy. That would be anyone who is a liberal or progressive democrat. There is nothing liberal about liberal beliefs. There is nothing progressive about a progressive. The democrat parties Idea of a democracy is where you vote for your dictator. Not an opinion just the facts by observation.

    What the liberals and progressives have done to the country will lead to our destruction and a standard of living that equals the Stone Age. That isn’t progress and it’s not generosity as the word liberal implies. Liberal, progressive democrats have managed to hijack words and twist them into something other than their original dictionary meaning. This is what they have done to everything they touch.

    Liberals, progressives, democrats, socialist, fascism or Nazism all come from Carl Marx communism; there is no real difference in any of these social and or economic systems.
