Whose Got The Power Now?

For all of you people who have been asleep for the last 100 years what you are now seeing is the maturity, learned behavior and manifestation of progressive politics on steroids.

From the time of Theodore Roosevelt and the Bull Moose Party the progressive liberal elements of society have been trying and trying to indoctrinate their ideas, methods and programs into the main stream. For decades they were swatted back by citizens who held firmer more solid morale values; ones of personal responsibility, respect for God and Country and solid work ethics. Even through the Great Depression America was a country of self reliance. Surely FDR pushed progressive programs but with limits and for more than a political agenda.

A milestone in advancing agenda based progressive agendas began in the 1920's with Margaret Sanger, an eugenicist who advocated not allowing certain women to have babies at all. Her ideas and advocacy has created, over the years, one of the most powerful progressive anti morality movements on the face of the earth, Planned Parenthood. PP has it’s hands all over the 58 Million abortions performed since Roe v. Wade. Only just recently Planned Parenthood has been exposed as barbarically selling baby parts. Do you think thatAmerica in the 1920’s or 1930’s would have put up with such gruesomeness?

Did anyone hear of LBGT in 1935? Has anyone determined the size of this alleged population? Is it ½ a percent, 1, 2 or 5 percent? No one knows yet they wield power as if they were a majority. They damn anyone who raises a voice against their agenda. They have already been successful in perverting the definition of marriage that has stood since the beginning of time. First, is was official recognition of their sexual persuasion as normal, next it was recognizing their domestic partners and affording them all the benefits accruing to a spouse. When that wasn’t good enough they wanted to be “married”. Under the blanket of LBGT rights the ultra progressive liberals joined forces and pushed and pushed until the din could not be ignored. They forced politicians and jurists to capitulate to their side for fear of being labeled as anti-gay. Somehow the “anti” this or that has taken on new dimensions and clout. That fear of being labeled has overridden the strength of conviction or morale certitude. Weak kneed members of society succumb to pressure that is relentless. All of a sudden Bruce Jenner transforms into Caitlyn and is acclaimed as brave and courageous. No where can you hear the words abhorrent, disgraceful or just plain ridiculous. Just today the Federal Court has affirmed certain toilet rights as appropriate for the LBGT folks. The ruling gives the LBGTer’s the right to use either bathroom in which they feel “comfortable”. Everyone else be damned. Logic dictates that individual Mens and Ladies rooms will be a thing of the past as main stream folks are forced to accommodate a minute portion of the population.

Let us not pass on the “Occupy Wall Street” folks. Driven by the super ultra wing of the progressive movement crowds of – for lack of a better word – unwashed morons gathered in locations in lower Manhattan to allegedly protest the greed of Wall Street. Okay so Wall Street is the money engine of the world and it is located right in New York City. Shouldn’t that be a good thing? I am still unclear of what the purpose of this protests were….. Did they want to close Wall Street down? To what benefit? Did they want Wall Street to open their vaults and hand out money? The whole thing was just absurd.

This is the politics of envy and class warfare at it’s finest. You have it and I want it, plain and simple. Here in lies a key difference in the world of ultra liberals, progressives and socialists ---- when I see one of those big sleek beautiful yachts I wonder what life decisions the owner made to enable them to own such a fine thing --- NOT --- It is not fair because I don’t have one! Sorry folks but in reality there is no free lunch, somebody always has to pay for it. That is a nugget that these folks keep ignoring because it doesn’t suit their agenda.

“Trump 2016” written in chalk on campus steps is now a reason to be offended and create a media buzz. Seriously, who is paying attention to such weak minded people. I have been offended a million times in my life and have yet once had to seek counseling to help me get over it.

Black Lives Matter is a tale of a whole other wing of the progressive ultra liberal movement but one that you can start to see much more easily. Born out of certain tragic events centered on deaths of black males in conflicts with police. A window opened for these activists to push an anti police agenda which on it’s face is pure hogwash. Does anyone dare call the areas in which these events occurred ghettos anymore. The police take their lives into there hands ever time they enter those areas in an effort to keep the peace. The BLM folks continue to perpetuate lies that were long ago disproved so they can support their agenda…. “Hands Up Don’t Shoot”….debunked – didn’t happen. These folks have learned from Al Sharpton. Does anyone remember Tawana Brawley.

A complete and out right lie that was pushed so hard it became credible until the investigation proves it was all staged. But, those who heard the story and bought into it stuck with their belief regardless of the proof. That is exactly how fuel is put in the tanks of these movements. The proof is always labeled fraudulent or cover up or racist that way it does not ever change the original story. The power in these situations is the race card. Mr. Obama has not been reluctant to deal such cards himself. “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon Martin”. Former Attorney General Eric Holder said “the reason people oppose President Obama is because he is black.” These types of statements provide the fuel that allows the activists to show up and spew invectives without consequence. Their leaders have shown them how.

History and fact fall prey to the liberal progressive socialist movement every day. The entire south of the United States, once part of the Confederacy, are now labeled racists and demoted to second class citizens. The opportunity to accomplish this swiping assault on those great states was a crazy boy who killed folks in a church. A very tragic event indeed. The image of him in front of the ‘rebel” flag became the cause celeb and blamed for his actions. Once again the agenda drove the action as history was banished by state after state that had the nerve to acknowledge their past by flying the confederate flag because it was immediately and forever “racist”. Even a classic TV show the Dukes of Hazard was eradicated because the car driven by the stars was emblazoned with the flag.

So in the matter of weeks people who took pride in the fact that their family members had fought for their beliefs were now cast as shameful sad people who were racist to their core. Sorry folks but the deepest parts of the southern states had moved so far away from that past that it was no longer relevant. Didn’t Atlanta have a black mayor and many other black political leaders across the other southern states as well? Yet the progressives are never ones to miss an opportunity to push their agenda.

In sports what the progressive ultra liberal socialists have now is momentum. If there is no will to combat these forces all is lost. The great American experiment will have lived its’ last days and crumble into some yet unknown existence that will have the founding Fathers crying in their graves. I am glad I lived it when it made me proud, but I am sad to know it is just about over.
