Americans Express Historic Negativity Toward U.S. Government

    The latest Gallup Poll (BELOW) published yesterday and highlighted all over the net since has a few interesting tales to tell.
    It appears the American people are finally fed up with the federal government as 81% believe the country is being run badly. They have lost faith in government to solve problems or even come up with solutions to the problems.  Of course congress gets a major blame as 82% think they are not doing their jobs.


    The dissatisfactions goes on at various levels but the interesting and hopeful part of the message is that demoRats are more closely associated with BIG GOVERNMENT and are down in the polls because of their constant support of government as "the solution". 
    Let us hope that this will carry on until the election so we can rid ourselves of the progressive disease infecting not only our politics but the media and our schools and universities.


    Americans have opened their eyes to the SCAM.


    The light is finally shining on the bloated, ineffectual, wasteful government and the political class that controls the self-perpetuating horror show.


    The founding was not based on politics as a profession but it has evolved into a political class which regardless of party is working very hard to keep their power at the expense of the American people.
    If we want to keep our standing as the freest nation on earth we must return to a real constitutional government and shed all the unconstitutional BS imposed on us since the turn of the century by PROGRESSIVES.


    Collectivism and the one size fits all big government solutions historically fail are riddled with terms and conditions and fraught with unintended consequences and generally end badly.

    The most interesting part of the poll is the statement below:

    49% of Americans believe the federal government has become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. In 2003, less than a third (30%) believed this.


    This statement is both encouraging and scary at the same time.
    It shows the extreme dissatisfaction and mistrust of the federal government and suggests that as opinion shifts we become closer to a revolution.
    Problem is who's revolution will it be?


    Will it be a return to limited government that remains with in the constraints of the constitution and relies on individuals and free markets for it's success.


    Or will it be the "days of rage" happening all over the world as the anarchist/socialists/progressives/communists/unions/environmentalists/one world government crowd/and assorted radicals are pressing for the destruction of capitalism and our western way of life.
    Throw in the islamic extremists pushing for a world caliphate and a muslim take over and you have a HUGE push against us.

    Folks were are on a slippery slope to not being able to recognize our country any more.
    Every concerned citizen needs to speak with their friends and family and get out the VOTE in 2012.


    We must VOTE progressivism out of our lives again and relegate them once again to the dust bin of history hopefully for longer than the last 100 years.


    Enjoy the "Historic Negativity Toward the U.S. Government".

    Americans Express Historic Negativity Toward U.S. Government

    Several long-term Gallup trends at or near historical lows

    by Lydia Saad
    This story is the first in a weeklong series on Gallup.com on Americans' views on the role and performance of government.
    PRINCETON, NJ -- A record-high 81% of Americans are dissatisfied with the way the country is being governed, adding to negativity that has been building over the past 10 years.
    Trend: Reaction to How the Nation Is Being Governed
    Majorities of Democrats (65%) and Republicans (92%) are dissatisfied with the nation's governance. This perhaps reflects the shared political power arrangement in the nation's capital, with Democrats controlling the White House and U.S. Senate, and Republicans controlling the House of Representatives. Partisans on both sides can thus find fault with government without necessarily blaming their own party.
    The findings are from Gallup's annual Governance survey, updated Sept. 8-11, 2011. The same poll shows record or near-record criticism of Congress, elected officials, government handling of domestic problems, the scope of government power, and government waste of tax dollars.
    Key Findings:
    • 82% of Americans disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job.
    • 69% say they have little or no confidence in the legislative branch of government, an all-time high and up from 63% in 2010.
    • 57% have little or no confidence in the federal government to solve domestic problems, exceeding the previous high of 53% recorded in 2010 and well exceeding the 43% who have little or no confidence in the government to solve international problems.
    • 53% have little or no confidence in the men and women who seek or hold elected office.
    • Americans believe, on average, that the federal government wastes 51 cents of every tax dollar, similar to a year ago, but up significantly from 46 cents a decade ago and from an average 43 cents three decades ago.
    • 49% of Americans believe the federal government has become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. In 2003, less than a third (30%) believed this.
    Congress' Ratings Have Plunged in Recent Years
    Confidence in Congress hit a new low this month, with 31% of Americans saying they have a great deal or fair amount of confidence in the legislative branch, lower than the percentage confident in the executive (47%) or judicial (63%) branch. Confidence in the legislative branch is slightly higher among Republicans than among Democrats, 41% vs. 32%.
    Trend: Trust and Confidence in the Legislative Branch of the Federal Government, Consisting of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives
    Apart from a brief rally in public approval of Congress after the 9/11 attacks, Congress' job approval rating has followed a similar path, declining sharply since about 2000. The 15% of Americans approving of Congress in the September poll is just two percentage points above the all-time low reached twice in the past year.
    1974-2011 Trend: Do you approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job?
    Public Officials Held in Low Esteem
    Americans' confidence in the people who run for or serve in office is also at a new low; however, the decline has been more recent, dropping from 66% in 2008 to 49% in 2009 and 45% today. For most of the history of this trend, Americans had much more positive views of those seeking or holding public office, but that changed in 2009, and the balance of opinion has since remained more negative than positive.
    1972-2011 Trend: Trust and Confidence in the Men and Women in Political Life in This Country Who Either Hold or Are Running for Public Office
    Americans Particularly Critical of Domestic Policy
    At 43%, fewer Americans today than at any time in the past four decades say they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the federal government to handle domestic problems. That is significantly lower than the 58% average level of confidence Gallup has found on this since 1972, including a 77% reading shortly after the 9/11 attacks. Gallup did not ask the question between 1976 and 1997, however, and thus may have missed low points during the recessions that occurred in the early 1980s or at the time of the House banking scandal in the early '90s.
    By contrast, faith in Washington to handle international problems (57%) is currently better than the 51% all-time low recorded in 2007, during the Iraq war, and not far off from the 65% average seen since 1972.
    1972-2011 Trend: Trust and Confidence in the Federal Government When It Comes to Handling International, Domestic Problems
    Along with Americans' record-low confidence in the federal government on domestic policy, Gallup finds record skepticism about government waste. As previously reported, Americans, on average, think the federal government in Washington wastes 51 cents of every tax dollar, the highest estimated proportion of waste Gallup has found on this measure in trends dating to 1979.
    Nearly Half Now Say Government Poses Immediate Threat
    Americans' sense that the federal government poses an immediate threat to individuals' rights and freedoms is also at a new high, 49%, since Gallup began asking the question using this wording in 2003. This view is much more pronounced among Republicans (61%) and independents (57%) than among Democrats (28%), although when George W. Bush was president, Democrats and independents were more likely than Republicans to view government as a threat.
    2003-2011 Trend: Do you think the federal government poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens, or not?
    Bottom Line
    Americans' various ratings of political leadership in Washington add up to a profoundly negative review of government -- something that would seem unhealthy for the country to endure for an extended period. Nevertheless, with another budget showdown looking inevitable and a contentious presidential election year getting underway, it appears the ratings reviewed here could get worse before they improve.
    Survey Methods
    Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Sept. 8-11, 2011, with a random sample of 1,017 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
    For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points.
    Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking. Each sample includes a minimum quota of 400 cell phone respondents and 600 landline respondents per 1,000 national adults, with additional minimum quotas among landline respondents by region. Landline telephone numbers are chosen at random among listed telephone numbers. Cell phone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods. Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the basis of which member had the most recent birthday.
    Samples are weighted by gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, adults in the household, and phone status (cell phone only/landline only/both, cell phone mostly, and having an unlisted landline number). Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2010 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older non-institutionalized population living in U.S. telephone households. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting and sample design.
    In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

    Fools - You Just Can Not Make This Stuff Up



    With the president traveling around campaigning on our dime waging class warfare, raising the bar on demagoguery, out right lying, and pushing really BAD legislation all so he has a campaign message to beat republicans up with as he KNOWS his "JOBS" bill will fail as it is not supported by republicans or some democrats it is purely political.
    Rightly so the main election issue will be "LIMITED" government VS "BIG" government.
    Historically speaking "BIG" government never succeeds and usually ends badly as one size fits all government solutions are always FULL of terms and conditions and fraught with unintended consequences.
    Numerous examples abound of the bloated, ineffective, inefficient, and questionable constitutionality of much of what the federal government does.
    To all those who so fervently believe in "BIG" government you are fools and useful idiots just the clear unadulterated tax payer waste should be enough to dismember the entire system and return the principals of our founding.

    In a Government Accountability Office report of late, we find out the money spent on the CLIMATE HOAX was $8.8 BILLION in 2010 and $103 BILLION cumulatively since 2003. Oh that "green movement" cronyism at work.

    Human Events reported recently that the Department of Labor wasted  $19 BILLION in state unemployment from July 2008 through July 2011. Who is getting all that illegal cash?

    Boycottliberalism.com reports that they have tracked government waste since 1992 in excess of:

    $1,230,956,867,592.00

    One only needs to google "wasted federal tax dollars" for 7,450,000 results in 17 seconds.
    Not surprising but completely unacceptable some thing needs to change.
    The latest waste comes from our wonderful government paying dead people and the like YOU JUST CAN NOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!!!
    Read it and WEEP.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal government has doled out more than $600 million in benefit payments to dead people over the past five years, a watchdog report says.
    Such payments are meant for retired or disabled federal workers, but sometimes the checks keep going out even after the former employees pass away and the deaths are not reported, according to the report this week from the Office of Personnel Management’s inspector general, Patrick McFarland.
    In one case, the son of a beneficiary continued receiving payments for 37 years after his father’s death in 1971. The payments – totaling more than $515,000 – were only discovered when the son died in 2008.
    The government has been aware of the problem since a 2005 inspector general’s report revealed defects in the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund. Yet the improper payments have continued, despite more than a half dozen attempts to develop a system that can figure out which beneficiaries are still alive and which are dead, the report said.
    “It is time to stop, once and for all, this waste of taxpayer money,” it said.
    Office of Personnel Management spokesman Edmund Byrnes said he could not immediately comment on the findings. But the report said OPM Director John Berry agrees that stopping the improper payments should be a priority.
    There are about 2.5 million federal workers who receive over $60 billion in benefit payments from the program each year.
    Federal officials have tried matching the fund‘s computer records with the Social Security Administration’s death records, checking tax records and improving the timeliness of death reporting.
    OPM has also sampled its records of all recipients over 90 years old to confirm whether they are still alive. In 2009, there were more than 125,000 recipients identified as over 90 and about 3,400 over 100 years old.
    Both the Obama administration and Congress have made it a higher priority to crack down on improper government payments.
    Last year, government investigators found that more than 89,000 stimulus payments of $250 each from the massive economic recovery package went to people who were either dead or in prison.

    even MORE hilarity and hypocrisy from progressives

    Wow the president has launched fully into the deep with his renewed and reenergized push of divisiveness through class warfare.
    He said he sees himself as a warrior and wears the fight for the "middle class" like a badge of honor.


    DemoRats are always championing the mysterious "middle class" and of course conservatives/republicans hate every one except the "RICH" - the Koch Brothers are always the evil mentioned it is enough to make my head explode.


    They go on about the "rich" having to pay their fare share, the gap between the "rich" and the "middle class" is to wide we must redistribute wealth to make things more fair and level the playing field so everyone has a chance.
    Besides the IRS DATA that shows MOST millionaires pay taxes at a HIGHER RATE than the middle class and the fact that the top 1% earners pay approximately 38% of all taxes etc.


    The facts just do not bear out the yammering of this president he is MISREPRESENTING the facts and outright LYING, along with the heavy use of demagoguery, attempted BAD legislation, and of course the continued class warfare all under the guise of MORE SPENDING and creating his talking points to use against republicans for his reelection campaign.


    One reads the news stories every one pointing the fingers at each other with demoRats declaring that they are promoting the "middle class" this is not class warfare this is only the republicans drawing from their same old playbook and calling it class warfare.
    Yeah right like using the divide and conquer methods of politics is not in constant use by the lefties form their tired old playbook.


    For me the hilarity and hypocrisy comes from the fact while progressives/liberals/demoRats/socialists/communists/other radical factions are circling the class warfare issue and that republicans represent the "rich" WHO DO THEY THINK OBAMA ET AL ARE VACATIONING WITH ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD AND WHO IS PAYING $35,800 TO HAVE DINNER WITH THE "ONE" MAYBE "RICH" LIBERALS/PROGRESSIVES?
    You think?????


    Like George Soros doesn't spend millions and millions of dollars buying and supporting progressive causes far more than the Koch brothers but that goes on being ignored.
    Soros is a VERY dangerous individual.
    Of late he is trying to place people in Secretary of State positions who help decide close state elections as well as judges too.


    And of course the republicans are in bed with the corporations and support corporate welfare - Please how about GM government motors and GE government electric do not talk to me about corporate welfare such hypocrisy is insulting and considering the latest scandal with SOLYNDRA and a wasted half a billion dollars with more cronyism popping up every day and new scandals on the way.


    Who is donating to whom - that 3/4 of a billion Obama raised in 2008 did not come from onesey' and twosey' and he still has never answered questions about his fund raising activities.


    DemoRats are SO evil and deceitful.


    It is also well known that a lot of the CEO's and Presidents on wall street and the big banks are NOT republicans but are PROGRESSIVES/LIBERALS surprise surprise like Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan.
    In spite of the lies it was demoRats who received overwhelmingly donations from these folks.
    Cronyism is ALIVE and WELL in the financial centers of New York City there is no real "free markets" any more.
    The big banks LOVE big government - TO BIG TO FAIL BABY!


    And if Warren Buffoon wants to pay the wasteful, inefficient, bloated federal government more why doesn't he:
    1) pay all of his back taxes from his investment firm estimated at over a billion dollars - know wonder he has his nose up Obama's ass and deep.
    2) if he and his buddies feel such a need to give more to the government why are they not all standing in line with their FAT checkbooks out looking to pay more.


    HYPOCRITES - it is so sad it has become hilarious.


    The progressives good intentions are always full of terms and conditions and fraught with unintended consequences.


    Their science (the need to social engineer) like their experts are usually wrong.


    Obama has got to GO
    Get out the VOTE in 2012

    Federal Government Spending is a JOKE and the Presidents Delusions.


    When I read articles like this (below) and hear the president YAMMER about fairness and that the rich do not pay their fair share I am amazed at how many fall for his demagoguery, outright lies, BAD legislation, and profuse use of class warfare.


    The top 1% earn 19% of the total income yet pay 37% of all taxes.
    FAIR FAIR that does not sound fair to me.


    The top 10% pay 68% of all taxes.


    The bottom 50% earn 13% of the total income but pay just 3% of all taxes I ask you is that fairness?


    As you all have heard some 50% of the country pays NO TAXES.


    If the Federal Government could (fat chance) spend the revenue they collect more wisely free of waste, corruption, and cronyism we could significantly lower taxes now there is a thought.


    The whole fairness argument is a total sham he should look at what Americans think of his precious BIG GOVERNMENT.


    Until such a time Obama should as he says "PUT COUNTRY FIRST ABOVE PARTY" and look at cutting the HUGE WASTE in his OWN ADMINISTRATION and the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT at large.





    IRS Data Show Most Millionaires Pay Taxes at Higher Rate Than Middle Class

    Americans Say Federal Gov't Wastes Over Half of Every Dollar

    Believe state and local governments waste proportionately less money

    by Jeffrey M. Jones
    PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans estimate that the federal government wastes 51 cents of every dollar it spends, a new high in a Gallup trend question first asked in 1979.
    Of every tax dollar that goes to the federal government in Washington, D.C., how many cents of each dollar would you say are wasted? 1979-2011 trend
    The current estimate of 51 cents wasted on the dollar is similar to what Gallup measured in 2009, but marks the first time Americans believe more than half of federal spending is wasted. The low point in the trend is 38 cents wasted on the dollar, in 1986.
    Americans are less likely to believe state and local governments waste money they spend than they are to believe this about the federal government, with the state estimate at 42 cents on the dollar and the local at 38 cents.
    Americans have viewed the federal government as being the most wasteful of tax dollars -- and local government the least -- each time Gallup has asked these questions. That pattern is consistent with Americans' greater trust in state and local government than in the federal government.
    Over time, though, Americans have become increasingly likely to see all levels of government as being wasteful of tax dollars. Americans now believe all levels of government waste at least 11 cents more on the dollar compared with 1979.
    Increases in Perceptions of Cents on the Dollar That Federal, State, and Local Governments Waste, 1979-2011
    Conservatives Among Most Likely to See Federal Government Waste
    Estimates of federal government waste do not vary greatly by political partisanship, with only a 5 cent difference between Republicans' and Democrats' averages, but show more differentiation by ideology. Conservatives are much more likely than liberals to view the federal government as wasting money.
    Senior citizens' estimate of wasted federal dollars ranks with conservatives' as one of the highest, and is significantly greater than that of Americans aged 18 to 29.
    Additionally, those with more formal education estimate proportionately less federal government waste than do Americans with less education.
    Estimates of Cents on the Dollar That the Federal Government Wastes, by Subgroup, September 2011
    The ideological differences observed this year were not apparent in 2001, when Republican George W. Bush was president. At that time, liberals estimated a larger share of federal spending was wasted than conservatives did, 48 cents to 44. Thus, one's perceptions of how much federal spending is wasted depend partly on the match between a person's ideological preferences and the prevailing power structure in Washington.
    There are generally smaller political differences in perceptions of wasteful state and local spending vs. federal spending, though conservatives' estimate of how much money local government wastes is significantly higher than liberals'.
    The sharp differences between young and old in terms of federal government spending are not apparent in their estimates of how much money state and local governments waste. But the differences by education are consistent, as those with postgraduate education are much less likely than those with no college education to see state and local governments as wasting money.
    Estimates of Cents on the Dollar That State and Local Governments Waste, by Subgroup, September 2011
    Implications
    Over the last 30 years, Americans have become increasingly likely to see all levels of government as wasting the money they spend, and now the public believes the federal government wastes more than half of the money it spends. It is not clear whether Americans believe government wastes money because it spends on programs they believe are not needed, or because it does not spend money efficiently on programs, whether needed or not. Also, it is not clear whether Americans believe money is wasted more on discretionary government spending, or more on defense, entitlement programs, and interest on the debt -- which make up the bulk of federal government spending.
    In any case, the federal government has made efforts to rein in spending this year, as part of the 2011 budget and the deal to raise the debt ceiling limit. As part of that deal, a supercommittee of 12 members of Congress is now seeking additional areas for cuts, to avoid automatic cuts in defense and entitlement programs. State and local governments have also been forced to make cuts in order to balance budgets as revenues have come in lower as a result of the state of the economy. Still, with all of these efforts to curb spending, the average American does not appear to give government at all levels much credit for being careful in spending tax dollars.
    Survey Methods
    Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Sept. 8-11, 2011, with a random sample of 1,017 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

    The "Race Card" Part 3

    After posting "The Race Card" The Real History Democrats Don't Want You to Know and with the continued demagoguery, lies and heaped on HATE speech we became terrorists next I posted First We Were "RACISTS now we are "TERRORISTS".


    Well the progressives/liberals/demoRats never stop projecting the same rhetoric, lies, and class warfare propaganda  they ACCUSE the Republicans of - they are such HYPOCRITES it was time to research a little more the reality of "race relations" today.



    Since progressives have taken over the demoRat party there has been an increase and ease of using the "race card" against their opponents in efforts to conqueror through division check out "rules for radicals" their favorite playbook.


    I think "race relations" in this country have improved to the point of being a non issue since I was a kid.
    There have always been a few "race baiters" in the black community who make their living from continued divisiveness on this issue and fringe right groups too but generally speaking who cares it's a persons action and deeds not race that set him or her apart in society.


    So LEFTIES why all the FUSS?


    In researching I found another of president Obama's handy dandy Executive Order 13583 "requiring government  agencies to to develop plans for improving federal workforce diversity."
    This is why this president is SO DANGEROUS what he can not force through as legislation he pens as an "executive order."


    So I took a look at the "diversity" of the federal government to see were the truth lies.
    As it turns out blacks are hardly underrepresented in the U.S. government.


    The black population is about 12% to 13% of the U.S. population.
    Blacks hold 18% of all federal jobs so they are certainly NOT underrepresented as the president would have us believe.
    25% of the employees at the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
    31% of the State Department employees.
    37% of the Department of Education.
    38% of the Department of Housing and Urban Development .
    42% of the Equal Opportunity Commission and Pension Benefit Warranty  Corp.
    55% of the Government Printing Office.
    82% of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency.
    44% of the employees at Fannie Mae.
    50% of the employees at Freddie Mac.


    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission were blacks are 300% overrepresented has been asked to oversee the new "government-wide initiative to promote diversity and inclusion in the federal workforce."


    This is all not surprising but hard to believe all the same.
    What is wrong with this president?
    Why is skin color such a supposed BIG problem?
    He was after all elected by a majority of us?


    Pat Buchanan made the most compelling argument on this issue in an article from August 26, 2011  "Obama's Race-Based Spoils System" were he argues against the president.


    "Perhaps, while he is battling for a greater diversity of sacrifice and rewards up there on Martha's Vineyard, our president might reflect on another example of the overrepresentation of white males - in the caskets coming home to Dover."


    "In the first five years of the Iraq war, Asian-Americans were 1% of our fallen heroes, Latinos 11%, African-Americans 10%.  While White Americans were 75% of the dead, and from photos of the fallen in newspapers since, the ratios appear to hold"


    "Does this overrepresentation of white men in the body bags and caskets coming home bother our commander in chief, who wants fewer whites at the top level of his executive branch?"


    "Has Obama taken a close look at his hypocritical party on Capital Hill?  Though African Americans are fully 25% of all Democratic voters, in a Senate Democratic Caucus of 53, there is not a single black man or black woman."


    The demoRats are BIG TALKERS but there is little substance to back up what is an obvious hypocrisy.
    I do not see them going out of their way to change the make-up of their own political party leaders one bit.
    The demoRats are content as they have been for decades to keep minorities on their plantation scrapping by as beholden to them.
    This is the biggest scam in our modern history.


    But they will continue to spew hate and lies against the Republicans and Tea Parties for supposed crimes they are in reality guilty of themselves.


    We have to VOTE as many of these MAROONS out of office as possible.
    Progressivism = Totalitarianism
    Progressivism = Total Cronyism
    Progressivism = Big Government CORRUPTION!!!

    Progressivism our Great American Disease

    America has long been plagued by progressivism and many of my posts reflect this distain in the hope others will wake up to the reality of this destructive force and how insidiously it has infected our country.


    Another voice is Pete Morin who on October 31, 2009 wrote an enlightened piece "The Pillars of Liberal Progressivism."


    "The United States of America rests at a crossroads today that is every bit as dire as what Americans faced during the Second World War.  In fact, it may be even more so."


    "Liberal Progressives have fashioned so strong a hold on the America political landscape that to escape their clutches may no longer be possible for most citizens.   What I call 'The Pillars of Liberal Progressivism' have infected America with a virus so deadly that fighting it has become extremely difficult"


    As I too have argued, progressivism which first reared it's ugly head around the turn of the century with many but mainly Wilson/FDR, was finally rejected after it proved a total failure.
    Unfortunately FDR instituted and passed so much damaging legislation which we still have today that it has distorted our view of the purpose of the constitution.


    After it's abject failure it moved underground and has been festering plotting and planning it's return and resurfaced publicly in the last election has notable folks like Hillary Clinton proclaimed she is not a "liberal"(liberal now being unpopular) but thinks of herself as a "modern progressive".


    This from the woman who also proclaimed Margret Sanger was her idol when Sanger besides being a progressive is a known eugenists who founded planned parenthood with the explicit desire to eliminate UNDESIRABLES of society code for eliminating minorities and others that progressive deem must go.


    Obviously Obama is a progressive too and the progressive/liberals all crowed it was the new beginning of decades of progressive rule after his election. The death of conservatism and the Republicans.


    Well as we know the decades only lasted two years as the American people were once again on to the progressive lies and the demoRats suffered a "shellacking" in 2010 elections.


    It is very important to continue to expose progressivism and rout it out where ever possible.


    The five pillars of progressivism form the foundation of their hard work over the last some one hundred years to infiltrate, corrupt, and infect our society.


    1."University Academia: No institution was more instrumental than the university in shaping the minds and behavior of the young.  Students schooled in the writings of radical revolutionaries such as Mao, Lenin, Trotsky - and lesser-known malcontents like Alinsky, Zinn, and Chomsky - spread their noxious fumes throughout  the halls of academia.  The 'true believer' filled his pliant mind with writings of these disaffected statists.  The earlier attempts of scholars in the twenties and thirties to poison the minds of the young were but a pretext for this new assault."


    He continues with more history but the long and short of it is that the professors and the administrators of many of our institutions are trying to corrupt/indoctrinate their students and this has been realized as conservative students are dogged and harassed by their professors and fellow students today.


    2."Law Schools: Those infected with this radical new virus could now expand their activities to include law schools.   What better way to attain a redress of grievances against a racist, sexist, homophobic nation than to change the Constitution?   New radical lawyers imbued with this bubonic sickness attacked our nation's law at the principal level.  Judicial activists unleashed a torrent of bad constitutional law that would make any radical proud.   The links that bound us to our founding were now severely strained."     


    3."Primary and Secondary Education: The lessons learned in academia could now be spread to the more basic levels of education.   Rather than parents teaching their children tolerance and good moral underpinnings, the HARD LEFT would give no quarter in acceptance of gay lifestyles and gay marriage, wealth redistribution, equality of outcome, and disparagement of conservatism.   These became the staples in the indoctrination of the very young. The occasional parent outburst has not deterred the righteous from their mission."


    In education in general progressives have successfully distorted our history, denigrated our founders, and in general pushed an anti-American anti-acceptualism, propaganda of America as the big bad colony power enslaving other hapless countries to exploit them.


    4:"Entertainment:The Hard Left could now attack the entertainment industry.   The poor, limp, listless minds of this industry were ripe for the picking.  What could be more important than compassion for the poor, not getting involved in military conflict, and equality for all who had suffered under the dreadful
    capitalist state?  The film industry offered itself in humble prostration to these noble ideas.  Films depicting the evils of capitalism and the inadequacy of the free market spawned a whole new generation of useful idiots to spread the biblical word."


    Film and movies are some of the most subtle indoctrination techniques and are exploited regularly by "progressive hollywood."
    Witness the treatment of conservative in hollywood.


    5."News Media: This last pillar would prove to be the most important.  With the help of academia and entertainment, however, it was possible to invade newsrooms without much difficulty.  Vietnam, once again, provided a ready means to achieve control of what was once considered an inviolable institution and move it inexorably to the Left.   One can remember the hallowed omtonations of Walter Cronkite on the uselessness of a continued combat in Southeast Asia.  What Cronkite deemed lost must surely have been.  So ingrained in the American psyche was his preeminence for reporting the facts that those facts must certainly have been correct."


    There is HOPE after all their plotting and planning despite their taking over many of our educational institutions Americans instinctively KNOW that the direction Obama, his minions, his cronies, and the news media want us to go is un-American and goes against the founding of our country.
    Conservatives out number liberals by almost 2 to 1 and those i the SILENT MAJORITY are not going to be silent any more.


    Progressivism would have you believe that "life is unfair" and only big government can level the playing field and produce predetermined outcomes but at a HUGE HUGE cost our freedoms and liberties.


    PROGRESSIVISM = TOTALITARIANISM


    Again it is SO SO important to talk to your friends and family and get out and VOTE progressives out of office especially OBAMA.
