The Pot Smoking Friend of George Soros: Meet Peter Lewis–head of Progressive Insurance

Who is Peter Lewis? Well, he’s not John Galt—that’s for sure. In fact, Lewis is the complete opposite of that fictional character from the great novel Atlas Shrugged. If you have Progressive Auto Insurance, which is the third largest in the United States then you are about to become upset if you didn’t know it already. Because Peter Lewis of Cleveland, Ohio has been the CEO of Progressive Insurance Companies and is the poster boy for the kind of man who seeks to destroy traditional America with a progressive philosophy that is true to the name of his insurance company.

I told my wife months ago well before I knew anything about Peter Lewis that I would never get Progressive Auto Insurance because of the name. I joked that I couldn’t stand progressives, and I hated insurance to begin with, so those two things together in the same name spelled double jeopardy. Each time one of those stupid commercials came on I couldn’t help but notice how similar the photography was to the Tides Foundation videos shown in school advocating the evils of capitalism to school children. I thought it was strange that Progressive Insurance seemed to be going out of their way to provide insurance to motorcyclists. The tone of the commercials seemed totally out-of-sink with the kind of people I know who are motorcycle riders. But Progressive seemed to know what they were doing because they were dominating the insurance industry and made enough money to purchase airtime on television continuously.

Unfortunately, my instincts about the name of the insurance company turned out to be true and I am very proud to say that I do not own any Progressive Insurance, and if I did, I would dump it right now. Here’s why—it turns out that Peter Lewis is a big time leftist working hand in hand with George Soros to advance progressive politics in America. Lewis seeks nothing less than the destruction of traditional America. As head of Progressive Insurance, the name of the company is the name of his political philosophy and now that he is worth more than a billion dollars, he gives tremendous amounts of money to progressive causes. Here’s just a few.

Princeton University (A Gehry designed science library, $60 million; the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, $55 million; arts initiative, $101 million. Total $233 million to date.)
• Case Western Reserve University (The Weatherhead School of Management Peter B. Lewis Building, another Gehry design, $36.9 million, out of $61.7 total building cost)
• Marijuana Policy Project (Donated $3,000,000 to MPP in 2007.)
• The Guggenheim Museum ($50 million)
• America Coming Together and MoveOn.org (with George Soros matching his $10 and $2.5 million, respectively)
• American Civil Liberties Union $15m
• The Democratic Party
• Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies-sponsored MDMA/PTSD Research in the US, Switzerland and Israel $750,000 [www.maps.org]
• Menorah Park (Peter B. Lewis Aquatic & Therapy Center)
• Traction
• Support of California’s Proposition 19 also known as the Regulate, Control & Tax Cannabis Act (Donation of $159,005 on 10/15/2010)

The looters of government are looking toward “pot” (marijuana) as a way to raise additional tax revenue for their massive government programs, while at the same time dummying down the American population with cannabis infestation. Peter Lewis is himself a pot head, who was arrested in New Zealand for his drug use in the year 2000, and advocates the same boring diatribe of those old hippies from yesteryear. Legalization of marijuana is a progressive dream and these days it is the head of the Progressive Insurance Company who is leading the charge.

My thoughts on marijuana are the same now as they were when I was young. I have always despised the drug and the people who use it. I have lost many friends over my rigid stance against marijuana because I see smoking marijuana as a weakness of character. As a matter of fact, I feel nearly as strong about alcohol as I do marijuana. Seeking to numb the pains of life with chemicals is emotionally weak and is a violation to the individual soul. Anything that is ingested into the lungs through the form of smoke is a bad thing. I cannot see purposely smoking anything, let alone a drug that helps take the edge off pains. I seldom ever take aspirin or any pain killer, and there is no situation that would provoke me into cannabis use to alleviate any kind of pain and I have had just about every kind of pain imaginable. So needless to say I am against the legalization of marijuana, I am against the manufacture of it, I am against the taxation of it, I have never used it, and I will never use it. If I had it my way I’d punish every drug dealer with any means possible. I’d prosecute every drug manufacturer as domestic terrorists. And I would personally challenge any individual user. I have been to rock concerts when I was younger where I have been in massive fights with others who blew the smoke in my face passively. I hate drugs now more than I did when I was younger. It is a weak drug for weak minded people and the people who make it, use it and distribute it are lucky there are laws that protect them from people like me. I won’t break the law to show my anger, but I feel that strongly about drugs to say as much.

I know many people reading this have tried it. I have been friends with people who use it, even while they knew me, but I have never bent my opinion of it. My opinion of people who use the drug is a low one. I leave room for redemption later in life, but I do not respect current users. This makes people like Peter Lewis my mortal enemy, because if he uses his billion dollars from his insurance company to legalize marijuana so that I have to smell pot in public places like Kings Island, or the shopping mall, he is undoing the America that I love in favor of one that I hate.

On top of all this, Lewis is a trustee of Princeton University, so that says a lot about the intentions of that particular education institution. I have said for years that colleges were infested with progressivism, and now this is the proof. A major marijuana advocate and extreme political progressive is one of the leaders of that so-called esteemed university.

So the next time you see a commercial for Progressive Insurance, you are seeing the product of an extreme progressive and if you read here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom, Lewis is your mortal enemy. Knowing what I know now about Progressive Insurance, it is every bit as sinister as the name it carries—because they are one in the same. Progressives advocate American counter culture and are a menace to themselves and the values that made America great. Progressives get what they want by being misleading, their foundations are built upon stacks of lies. And they require an audience of non-thinking drug induced fools to follow them. That is why they advocate marijuana use so openly, because they need the masses to hunger for pain relief and non-thinking, because thinking people see through their scam, and despise the attempt.

For those who thought that George Soros was the only one they had to watch out for they are wrong, there is a man in Peter Lewis who is every bit as sinister. The chances are you are giving him money in some way by purchasing his insurance. He then takes that money to help undo America. So if you give Progressive Insurance money, you are helping to destroy your own country. Peter Lewis like the rest of the progressive types use the ACLU and other organizations to transform America into a vision of their pot smoking dreams—a world of peace, love, and drug induced hallucinations. President Obama has bragged about his drug use, and like Peter Lewis, has inhaled frequently. People like Peter Lewis and George Soros have funneled a lot of money into the art community, which includes the film industry to push for the gradual acceptance of marijuana among our youth. The result is that most young people think smoking dope is cool and that being strong is unfashionable. It is because of people like Peter Lewis that young people aspire to “get wasted” instead of making themselves stronger to endure anything.

The selfish goal of the progressive is to make a slave like society of servants who seek drug use, both alcohol and illegal, to weaken the mind of the population. By robbing the American people of their wits, the progressive leader wishes to rule them from the lofty heights of academia, which to me is simply a scam. Peter Lewis appears to consider himself one of the rulers, and he uses the money he funnels from his insurance company to weaken the resolve of the average American culminating in the climax of a hippie fantasy invented in the 1960’s. Such people are detrimental to the America I wish to live in, and I despise the air they breathe. I actually despise some of each breath I take knowing that a small portion of that air left the lungs of a human being like Peter Lewis, a parasite on American society in the worst of ways, a person who has become rich offering a product to the masses that they trust, then like leading them like cattle to slaughter. He attacks them with the money he made off them. And he will continue to do it so long as people continue to give Progressive Insurance money through their premiums. So think about all this the next time you see one of his stupid commercials come on your TV.

  1. I won’t make an issue of dope as I know how you feel about it. Unfortunately, I know a fair amount of people, healthier than you, my age, with cancer. It helps them and sure beats getting hooked on Oxy or Morphine.

    I have zero issues with Marijane and want it to be legal for a whole host of reasons. I bet that surprises you.
    I had a long talk with an ex border patrol agent in December. He reaffirmed my stance which hasn’t waivered since the “war on drugs”….Ugh

    This guy, as ugly as he is, is a genius. He’s found a way to market his tyranny to lemmings. Paying lemmings. I hope people reading this take heed. We fund our own tyranny everyday in everything we do. If a change could be made, this one would be easy.

  2. Lewis hasn’t been CEO at Progressive since 2000. He has served as non-employee Chairman of the Board since that time. As an Ayn Rand fan you should understand the difference between CEO and Chairman of the Board.

    1. Oh, I understand the difference. Yes he retired after he was arrested in New Zealand for possession. It means in his case that Progressive hired a CEO to be the face of the company while Lewis advised. A Chairman of the Board outranks a CEO.

  3. Actually, that’s not even close to being true. I’m going to guess that you’ve never served on the board of a public company? See definition of a non-Executive Chairman of the Board here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chairman

    The non-Executive has no say over the day-to-day operations of the company and is not an employee of the company. For example, Jon Huntsman is on the Board at Ford Motor Company and Al Gore is on the board at Apple – do you also think they set Ford and Apple’s agendas?

    I would only suggest that you separate Lewis’ personal beliefs and donations from those of a company that employs more than 20,000 people across the country regularly wins awards for being an employer of choice.

    Thanks for the correction you made above re: his status as CEO.

    Like

    1. You are welcome. As to Lewis being a non-Executive, I would say that is not the case. I’ve worked with many people who serve in these functions, and it is usually done to deflect attention. If Lewis decides he wants something, the company will follow his desire, you can bet on it. Al Gore at Apple would certainly explain their public commitment to “green tech.” But the difference there is being a board member and then being Chairman are not one in the same. The board members are still under the Chairman in such a case, and the CEO reports to the Chairman no matter if the role is passive or active. If the Chairman wishes to take a cruise around the world for a year while the CEO runs things, he can do that. But the CEO will report to the Chairman when they arrive back to the office. But the CEO will not take a year long vacation without reporting back to the Chairman.

      You cannot separate Lewis’ beliefs and donations because it is the company of Progressive that has supplied those funds. And what is the value of those 20,000 jobs? What do the make? They sell insurance, and that is a non product. It’s air. It means nothing. The money made by those 20,000 jobs mean Progressive must over sell their payouts minus their expenses. So the larger the company, the more good people there are who are required to pay into the system without taking anything out. That to me is a “scam.”

  4. Your examples around CEO vs Chairman are simply and completely inaccurate – what are you basing your comments on? Guess we’ll have to agree to disagree there. It’s also curious that you are anti-insurance? I wonder, are you completely against insurance or are you for the only type of insurance that would have no profit margin – government-run insurance? Are you an Obamacare proponent? Without profit motive there is not private enterprise, not sure how you square that circle in your mind. For those who have ever had an accident or needed to go to the doctor, they tend to find insurance to be a product that in fact means something. Unless you want a larger government social safety net…

    1. I am far from an Obamacare proponent. And I get for profit business. But I’d rather skip the insurance and just pay the bills as they come in, which includes major medical. If I had the money in the bank that I spent on insurance all these years, I could easily write a 150K check to pay for service if I needed it. Because of insurance, everyone has jacked up their rates, since its a collective pool of money and everyone wants to take a larger share. That is the driver for the rapid increase in premiums in order to maintain those margins. I understand what you’re saying, but there is no end in site for slowing down the inflation at every level. Insurance is built on fear of what may happen. It’s not a product like a car, or oil that comes out of the ground. Insurance is a hedge against what “might” happen and to drive money into the market, people have to be made to believe they have a lot to fear. I see that as a major modern problem. I feel bad for those who work in the industry that have to face that reality, but the structure of it is not sustainable.

  5. Cannabis doesn’t dumb any one down. You are stepping into foreign territory considering you admit to never using cannabis and likely have no medical background.

    There is no solid evidence provided by repeated studies to support your wild antics about marijuana’s demonic downsides. Marijuana weakens one’s ability to retain short term memory, but only during the “high” which is transient. However, it does save lives of debilitated patients. That’s not up for debate.

    I hope you never get Alzheimer’s, cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, Crohn’s, PTSD, glaucoma, diabetic neuropathy, ALD, or severe spinal or limb damage…. You will undoubtedly experience unnecessary suffering for your close-minded, hot-headed ignorance on this issue.

    Cannabis is not the problem. You have a sort of racism towards the culture of people who represent marijuana. It’s clouding your judgment. People deserve the right to go back to their farming roots and grwow this plant for their own personal reasons. Are you against- protein and omega and mineral-rich hemp seeds or juiced, non-psychoactive cannabis leaves? No narcotic effects are caused by these alternative forms of ingesting marijuana. Topical cannabis extracts also lack central effects.

    You want your country the way it was in the ‘good ol’ days? Your country was founded, in part, from people pro-hemp, like Thomas Paine, who believed it to be the Keystone of this economy at the time.
    Before Aspirin, according to the father of Medicine, Sir William Osler, cannabis was the number one treatment for migraines. And, after reading your bigoted rant, I’m going to go look for some aspirin.
