To start off this blog I want to show you a new video out there. This is Glenn Beck from Fox News who is showing how the website cars.gov (a government website), has a link in it that gives the federal government control of your computer when you click it. The government has been over stepping its reach a little lately….. and this video is a good example of how.

Yesterday I wrote a short blog on what it means to be a conservative. At the end I concluded that conservative is not a word that groups people together with similar social beliefs but is rather a way to describe someone’s beliefs on what size and capabilities a government should have.

There is an “anti-conservative” train of thought, and it isn’t liberalism. It is actually Progressivism. Progressives believe that the government is the sole avenue for anything in civilian life. It should provide every need for the people within the borders the government presides. This type of philosophy is slowly taking over this country. It is an act that has been going on for a little over 100 years, and going so slow that the people don’t even realize how we got here.

You can credit Teddy Roosevelt for the very first big step towards progressivism. He spoke frankly about how we needed a federal income tax to raise more revenue for the federal government, and how we as a country need a tax code for the greater good. Here is a quote by him:
“A heavy progressive tax upon a very large fortune is in no way such a tax upon thrift or industry as a like would be on a small fortune. No advantage comes either to the country as a whole or to the individuals inheriting the money by permitting the transmission in their entirety of the enormous fortunes which would be affected by such a tax…”
Progressivism is not a left or a right ideology. It is so far out to the left and the right that it falls off the political spectrum and meet at the bottom where it tries to feed at our most basic human functions. Look at any country that has let the “fair” and “equal” philosophy of progressives take control:

This is just a small list compared to the actual amount of countries. Most of them are countries people have never heard of. None of these countries are evil by any means, but it is fair to say that none of them are very prominent either. I don’t see America calling the Netherlands for back up when WW3 comes around, simply because all of their spending goes towards giving the people their basic necessities with very little defense spending.

Progressivism is simply a new and nicer word for communism. There is no way after what communism did to the world, that an educated person would let communism play any role in his or her government. That is why “commies” use the word progressive, simply as a way to enter an educated society quietly and discreetly.

Thanks For Reading My Rant!
