Unfortunately, his comment on the support for the Nazis and Communist dictators is not misinformed. In fact, many Progressive leaders such as Lillian Hellman, Walter Duranty, Walter Lippmann, many on the left in Hollywood at the time, and the NY Times are good examples of profound support for everything they were doing.
Lillian Hellman on Stalin’s murder of 27million of his own: “Well that is what he had to do to create his great society!”
Walter Duranty on the same issue: “Well, you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet.”
Walter Lippmann wasn’t only the scariest progressive his secretary Mary Price was a Soviet spy and left D.C. to become head of community organizing in Atlanta.
NY Times: “The age of unbridled Capitalism is dead!” The following sentences praised the new world strong men leaders (dictators) as the “new age of politics!” The genuflected 4 times a day to Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao.

I think, that Evils greatest accomplishment is to make us believe that it does not exist. Over the past 100 years, Progressives have used this to chip away at the Constitution and ultimately taking our freedom from us in the form of bigger Government.
The only way to defeat this Evil, is to expose it for lie it really is and the only way we can expose it, is
with the truth!

Hey Dennis, You may what to do some research. Our government of Capitalism is the only governemnt that has brought out more people out of poverty then any other else in history. It’s used to out produce any other county until the left screw it up. And as far as the bible try reading it some thing. Christ didn’t teach socalism. He taught personal responsibility. Christ taught this is not your home. Christ taught do not steel from the rich or poor. Live in the world but not by the world for riches. In Christ this world is a testing ground. Give your self from your own heart. Your not to force any one to give to you. Thou shall not steel. Thou shall not covet. Christ said people that live for manna(money in greek) shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. If you steel from people you are living for money. The thing with people are mostly lazy and will suck or steel off others. I see the greed, coveting and steeling hits poor and rich alike. The founding fathers knew history very will knew the democracy never worked people will vote them money tell theres no money left then it turns to dictatorship were a few on top get all the riches. They new the a nation of laws that protected the indivsional was fare and allow all to pursuit of happeness. Happeness is a individual thing. Some what riches some want a family. Some what to worship in church. The founding fathers said that a republic would not work useless the individual followed true Christian beliefs. Point in question Isam doesn’t believe in freedom and liberty. The quran teaches infilitrate and conquer. So they are incompatable in our system of government. The quran teaches therocacy. Just another dictatorship.
Whe the founding fathers were talking about religiuos right they were all Christians. They were talking about Christians freedom of rights. Do so research before you make up your mind. Like Simon Greenleaf said. Before you make a judgement look first at all the evidence. Green leaf was and is the foremost expert on evidence of law we use know to history.

Liberal Democrats have been co-opted into the Progressive Movement thinking it is just a “cool” name. Who doesn’t want to be “Progressive”? It started 1880′s with a goal to downplay our Founder’s limited government with individual responsibility and progress to a state controlled society. The underlying theory is that the community has absolute right and determines its own destiny and that of its members. Thus, it trumps individual right and rights to individual property. Eventually, it progresses to a World Governing Body. Many Liberal Democrats are fighting back especially with the United Nations ”Agenda 21″ which is dangerous to American Freedom & her Constitution. The thought is that the “ends justify the means” and that they know better what is right for you than you do. That is where the deception and nudging progresses you in behaving and agreeing to their agenda without you knowing or realizing the end goal.

Glenn Beck and the supposedly conservative, libertarian crowd spend an awful lot of energy blaming all of the ills of our society on the left and the progressives when in reality the left and the progressives have never governed this country, they have merely pushed back against the abuses and the oppression mostly done by the wealthy status quo.

We had a revolution to get away from abusive kings and their courts only to end up with abusive CEOs and Politicians.When I think of left progressive movements in this country, I think of Margaret Meade’s quote “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” We are a minority but, unlike the right conservative libertarian crowd, we are more committed to and interested in integrating knowledge to improve humankind than just enriching ourselves while operating under the disingenuous moniker of liberty.

Dear David, It’s very difficult to understand what you’re trying to say. The issues are very simple and do not require endless blathering comment. There is no justification for excessive inequality. It’s bad enough we have to deal with lives that are largely determined by the fates, but much worse that we should ever have to accept the fate of excessive inequality. There is no justification for excessive inequality, which translates into excessive wealth and power for the lucky, and excessive impoverishment and weakness for the unlucky. Any argument legitimizing excessive inequality is immoral, impractical, and intellectual gibberish. And of course anti-Christian. You would do well to read the Gospel of Jesus. And if you’re not a Christian, read whatever Holy Books matter to you. Excessive inequality is universally accepted as morally wrong, the only exceptions coming from the corrupted and immoral who benefit from and take advantage of the impoverished and the weak. Your comment is fascist nonsense.

If you truly believe that your destiny is in another mans hands/ The Gov’t ,then you have forfeited your ability to control your own destiny.Equal opportunity can not guarantee an equal out come and that is simply the truth. Human beings are competitive and self serving by nature and therefore some people will be driven by different goals and desires that is one of the reason that there so many different out comes, some more successful then others I prefer a system that values Liberty more so than equality. If equality is allowed to be the highest principal and you allow the gov’t to expand it’s powers to achieve that principal than it only would make sense that the liberty of an individual becomes collateral damage ensure that the collective has what it is being told what is owed to them. When politicians who’s only goal is to gain and exercise power are successful in convincing you that your rights come from them and that can insure your outcome and mitigate your personal mistakes and that your out come is not in your hands and when all of your expectation are not met it is because of people who have achieved success that you are being controlled by envy and that is one way a politician will manipulate you in to giving up your freedom to control your own destiny.Why is it that people have been convinced that the only way to make the strong is to make them strong week? Taking away someone else wealth improve your stature. Do you really believe that because someone else got lucky or made a good investment or came up with a brilliant idea that made them filthy rich holds you back? You probably use a cell phone drive a car along everything else that some greedy rich man invented that has improved the quality of your life but you have been convinced they are your problem. wake dude and stop hating.

@dennismcbk disregard the “liked.” I haven’t taken my meds yet when I clicked it. Ironically, I’ve ‘been appointed by God’ to pray for sorry arse! Amen! God bless America!
