Economic Warning: Progressivism has brought us to the brink

clipped from www.cbsnews.com When the stock market soars or plunges, everyone pays attention. But short term results aren’t that important to the man you’re about to meet. David Walker thinks the biggest economic peril facing the nation is being ignored, and for nearly two years now he has been traveling the country like an Old Testament prophet, urging people to wake up before its too late. Who is David Walker and why should we care? As correspondent Steve Kroft first reported earlier this year, he is the nation’s top accountant, the comptroller general of the United States. He’s totaled up our government’s income, liabilities, and future obligations and concluded that our current standard of living is unsustainable unless some drastic action is taken. And he’s not alone. It’s been called the “dirty little secret everyone in Washington knows” – a set of financial truths so inconvenient that most elected officials don’t even want to talk about them, which is exactly why David Walker does.

We are in deep you know what! Wake up people and SAVE YOUR FREAKIN” MONEY. I suggest buying Euros. We need to regroup, America. We have been destroyed enough by these idiots in Washington and the useful idiots that carry the banner for the Republicans and Democrats. A vast majority of this country is Conservative or Libertarian and we have no party. We only have the Constitution and that is being ripped apart by International treaties on which the people have no recourse.

From Article:
“I would argue that the most serious threat to the United States is not someone hiding in a cave in Afghanistan or Pakistan but our own fiscal irresponsibility,” Walker tells Kroft.

“He calls it a fiscal wake up tour, and he is telling civic groups, university forums and newspaper editorial boards that the U.S. has spent, promised, and borrowed itself into such a deep hole it will be unable to climb out if it doesn’t act now. As Walker sees it, the survival of the republic is at stake.”

Mommy Fascism ( or Statism, if you like )

clipped from www.americanthinker.com Liberals would say that “liberal fascism” is an oxymoron, and a hateful one at that.� How could liberals have anything to do with right-wing fascism?� But sixty years ago Hayek in The Road to Serfdom had already made the connection.� He quoted Peter Drucker:� “Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion.”� Communists and fascists, Hayek continues, “compete for the same type of mind and reserve for each other the hatred of the heretic.” they belong to the same nostalgic tradition as the communists and fascists. For Goldberg American liberal fascism begins with the Progressive movement that flourished at the turn of the twentieth century and reached its full flood in the “we planned in war” economy of the Wilson administration in World War I.� American voters turned the Progressives out in 1920, so when the Progressives returned to power in 1932 with the New Deal they rebranded themselves as liberals.� Liberal or Progressive, the New Deal was fascist

“When we get to today’s liberal fascism Jonah (Goldberg) describes what I would like to call mommy fascism. The fascism of the 1930s was a daddy fascism featuring a militarized command economy and smart CCC uniforms with everyone marching in step. Mommy fascism is different and Jonah takes the reader through Hillary Clinton’s It Takes a Village to show how it works.”

“If Orwell’s 1984 described a masculine dystopia then Clinton’s Village echoes the feminine dystopia of Brave New World “where man is smothered with care, not cruelty” from the very cradle. ”
