Blogline of the Day – Democrat Progressivism is about OBEDIENCE, not Freedom

“The essence of modern Democratic progressivism is: “You will participate in what we have created for you, and you will comply with the law’s demands.”

– Daniel Henniger, WSJ

Doubt me?  Just review Steve’s post on Laura Pantelakos:I Don’t Care About Protecting People’s Liberty“!  Good to know – it will now add to my growing Pantheon of NH Democrat truthful gaffes on their abusive views of the Proper Role of Government (“…legislate behavior…protect us against our own stupidity….everyone must be all in”); each in their own way reinforcing what Henniger’s above line.  He also follows that up with this non-rhetorical question:

Do I want to live with this level of personal enforcement in the U.S.?

Supposition Fact followed by Question. Go ahead, give me some Progressive laws that have been put into place that ENHANCE your ability to choose (and if you find one, doesn’t restrict someone else just so you can have more?).  You can’t listen to Progressives’ words – judge them by their actions and results.  That is the fact followed by my questions:

  • Is it the Proper Role of Government to demand Absolute Obedience?
  • What IS the kind of Government that demands Absolute Obedience?

  • What does is say about a Government that demands Absolute Obedience to the few choices it allows you to make?
  • what ARE you willing to obey?
  • When is enough, enough?
  • Is this REALLY the kind of Government the Founders envisioned, or the result of that foreign political perversion called Progressivism?
  • Do you wish to walk on your feet – or on your knees?

and lastly:

What are you willing to do about it?

Just shrug your shoulders and “take it”?  Just live in that box they have put you in and be quiet as they make it smaller and smaller around you?  And pass this style of Government on to your grandkids? Or wake up, ask yourself “Does the Constitution allow this?  Does this embody traditional American values of Liberty and Freedom?” and  take charge and change this Totalitarian leaning Government?  “Live Free or Die – Death is not the worst of all Evils”.
