A Brief History of Socialist Plots to End the American Way of Life

Don’t you just love Leftist revisionism, propaganda, logic, and art?

Public Schools – Disaster, partisan cronyism and money pit. Compare to private schools.

Public Water System – Compared to what? Private water system?

Public highways – Yes, that really has a lot to do with socialism. LOL

Public Parks, introduced by a Progressive Republican and supported by Republicans, this is actually the Fed overstepping it’s reach to control the property of sovereign states. States operate their parks with much greater efficiency than the Federal Gov’t.

Just because you want to pretend the inferiority of progressive ideas is superior doesn’t mean it matches reality.

Of course, we could get into other Progressive or materialist policies and debate the results of them.

Slavery – We know how that ended.

Segregation – How wonderful was that?

Abortion/Planned Parenthood, founded to cull society of the undesirables. Today blacks are being decimated by abortion. Revolution of society vs Evolution of society. 2 sides of the same coin.

The Federal Reserve/Central Bank – Oh yes, we are all loving that crony capitalism.

League of Nations/United Nations. – That just works out so well. And the Left wonders how we get so tied up in the issues of other nations. Thank you Woodrow Wilson. We all relish John Dewey and Woodrow Wilson for illuminating the “social possibilities of war”.

Ahh, yes, and Roosevelt’s Blue Eagle Campaign, which authorized a dictatorship over businesses in America. Too bad that pesky Supreme Court overturned that and enabled the free market economy to turn around and lift us out of the Great Depression Long after all other nations had begun to grow their economies.

Shall we continue?

To the Left “Reason is a tool of Oppresion” – Derrida.

Who is The Forgotten Man?

I’m reading a book called The Forgotten Man by Amity Schlaes. It is forcing me to redefine my understanding of the New Deal era. Very fascinating book.

clipped from article.nationalreview.com In the 1880s a Yale philosopher named William Graham Sumner had spoken of another forgotten man. Sumner described his forgotten man algebraically. A, he said, wanted to help X. Nothing wrong with that. B also wanted to help X. The problem occurs when A and B get together and pass a dubious law that coerces C into cofunding their project for X. C is the forgotten man in this instance. As Sumner wrote: “He works, he votes, generally he prays but he always pays, yes above all he pays”�He keeps the production going on. C is the man, he also wrote, who is “never thought of.” During the Depression many people still recalled Sumner’s forgotten man. politicians debated which forgotten man, C or X, was the true forgotten man. Many believed that Hoover’s and FDR’s efforts on behalf of one forgotten man was creating a second. Sumner, even before the income tax, the Great Society and Medicare Part D had the foresight to call “jobbery”.�
