Rochester / Dover 9-12 picnic – a quick post

It almost goes without saying that there were no Liberals there, no Progressives there, that would have been participating in the event (the speakers, the food, the talking with Liberty minded people) on their own.  Again, the movement is oriented (along with the TEA Party folks) in a "back to the future" manner, that we have to go back and reclaim our Rights regarding individual freedoms simply enumerated in the Constitution.  Unless that happens, the forces of Progressivism will continue to march us, to "progress" us, to nothing more to what is incremental socialism and then on to totalitarianism.  Self-governance (and I’m not just talking about casting a vote) is anathema to these "smarter / holier than thou" folks (like Zandra Rice Hawkins of Granite State Progress).

Anyways, I digress.  On the way home, I saw this car and immediately thought "kismet!" and the bumper sticker:

Problem was, I kept wishing for a red light so I could snap the picture at a close enough range to be readable here.  Well, for once, I hit every single green light from Dover up to Alton on Rt 16.  Darn.

Well, there’s always Google, and with a bit of finagling of search terms, I found it:

Woodrow Wilson

Our first Progressive President – racially resegregated the military, took away First Amendment Rights and threw people in jail for simply criticizing the Government, got us into WW 1 after lying about such during his campaign, started the US down the path of international government, and more and more.

Would the Constitution, would the values inherent in the Constitution, have suffered as much harm since IF he had not been President?  Would we have had  the even worse President, his protoge FDR, if Wilson had been defeated?

Yup, I agree with the bumpersticker
