The Progressive Religion

In Government We Trust: The Progressive Religion

- Derek Hunter

With a storied history of attacking people of faith as extremists, radicals and the greatest threat this nation faces, it seems odd to see progressives embrace religion in their “advance the agenda at any and all costs” march. But they are, with vigor.

The wheels are coming off the progressives’ dream of a cradle-to-grave entitlements, amnesty-ridden nanny state. Their wish list for complete government control – and their predictions the government shutdown would be the end of the GOP have been sacrificed to an Obamacare rollout that has enjoyed all the success of the Hindenburg (except on MSNBC, of course, where the Earth remains flat).

I would not classify the "progressives" as a religion.

The far left on the other hand is entirely different matter.

 

[francoHFW]

Kosh, according to the wiki artickle on the ''far left'' YOU brought up, the far left consists of the CPUSA, SDS, and the BPP- SO GIVE IT UP, YOU'RE CLUELESS...

PROGRESSIVES BELIEVE IN FACTS, STATS, AND PROGRESS- REAGAN ISTS/TP believe in lies and myths that the greedy rich brainwash them with- you're alone in the world.

BTW, Obama's approval and handling of O-care have rebounded to pre-website levels. Kiss your brainwashed asses goodbye...

Once again the far left will not admit they are extremists.

So you are against government sponsored wealth redistribution?

Odd seeing this one day after government got outta GM after helping an American company, and probably two million Americans keep their jobs and continue working, building America. Full disclosure, we own two American cars, made by Americans, made in the USA, both GM. Success is so nice a thing.

"The unity of Government, which constitutes you one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly so; for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquillity at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very Liberty, which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee, that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment, that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national Union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the Palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion, that it can in any event be abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts." Quote DB :: Speeches :: George Washington :: George Washington's Farewell Address Speech


"For decades conservatives have been demonizing government and not enough has been done to defend it. Ever since Ronald Reagan declared in 1981 that "Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem," Republicans have been waging a political war against this institution. They have been joined in this anti-government crusade by libertarian thinkers, Tea Party activists, right-wing media pundits, and wealthy corporate lobbies. This powerful political coalition blithely ignores anything good about government and conducts a relentless smear campaign against this institution. They constantly play upon the fears and insecurities of average Americans and encourage them to blame all their problems on big bad government."

Derek Hunter succeeds in only demonstrating himself to be an ignorant partisan hack, particularly with regard to his inane, errant reference to ‘communism.’

Not only do progressives not ‘worship’ government, but they are among its greatest foes when protecting the civil rights and individual liberty of all persons to be free from unwarranted government intrusion and excess.

The far left worships the government.

All it did was screw over the Class A bond holders and cost the taxpayer was a mere $10 billion (that we know about).

Let me guess, you worship at the altar of your progressive god, The Almighty State, too.

Our daily dose of irony.

Except when it comes to progressives violating the civil rights and liberties of their political opponents, then all bets are off.

You are seriously delusional......must be the Kool-Aid!

PROGRESSIVES BELIEVE IN FACTS, STATS, AND PROGRESS

WRONG!

Progressives believe in bullshit that they label as facts, stats, and progress, and sell it to gullible and naive people as yourself.

 

[francoHFW]

As usual the dupes have no evidence, just their mythology and brainwashed gobledygook lol...THAT is a religion, dupes.

Kosh, under Reaganist tax rates, the richest have 3-4x plus the wealth while the nonrich and the country go to hell- and it continues- so making the bloated rich pay their fair share is hardly ''far left''. See sig para 1. You are lost in a sea of Pubcrappe...Beckbot is it...

 

[francoHFW]

I couldn't give a damn about your ''opinion''. The GOP has the most deluded voters in the modern world- they believe a Pub dupe fairy tale...a world laughingstock and ugly American horror.

For example, every non bought off scientist and every party in the WORLD believes in GW, but the dupes believe some morons' e-mails at a 3rd rate UK college prove it's a hoax..lol

An income gap set by the far left in the Carter years, but hey what would a far left Obama drone know anyway beyond their programing.

[francoHFW]

Sure, dupe lol...

Voodoo wrecked and IS WRECKING the nonrich to the point where demand for products and services has dried up, along with their savings...before the corruption and cronyism housing and credit meltdown of 2008- while the rich have quadrupled their wealth...

Memorize the facts, hater dupes:
1. WORKERS past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.
But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):
1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%
A 13% drop since 1980
A 13% drop since 1980
2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.
Share of National Income going to Top 10%:
1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50% TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.
Household Debt as percentage of GDP:
1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%
An increase of 16% since Reagan.
3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.
The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.
1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:
1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%
A 45% increase after 1980.
5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.
Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:
1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%
A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.
The Probabilityy of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:
1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%
A 10% Decrease.
