20 Signs You Are Living in a Progressive Utopia
TheBlaze ^ | 2014-12-14 | TheBlaze

Posted on 12/04/2014 8:56:01 AM PST by fredericbastiat1

1) When the executive branch has effectively become the legislative branch

2) When the notions of secure borders and national sovereignty are considered thinly-veiled euphemisms for racial hatred

3) When justice means determining a person is guilty before seeing any evidence, then rioting, looting and destroying property when said person does not even make it to trial

4) When those who riot, loot and destroy property are considered freedom-fighters, and those who peacefully assemble are considered radical extremists ... 10) When countries like Egypt and the United Arab Emirates designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, but yours does not

11) When Christianity and Judaism can be unmercifully attacked, yet Islam and sharia law may not even be critically examined

12) When the people overwhelmingly despise and distrust its leaders, yet continually votes to cede more and more of its rights to said leaders

Yep. And the Judicial Branch has effectively become the Executive Branch. Or at least lap dog yes-men of the Executive Branch.

21) When the government thinks you don't need a semi-auto, military-"like" rifle or high standard capacity magazines, but insist that belt fed weapons, select-fire rifles, suppressors, and MRAPs are for "officer safety".

Trying to not be too depressed after reading this and the other news this morning. . China now # 1. . wait until they embrace capitalism and free markets. . the racial protest mess, with no end in sight. . the 'quality' of our voters. . McConnell and Boehner selling out. . we have a tsunami election and Obama goes full bore further to the left. . the new EPA and other regulations. . Obama hiring 1000 folks in Virginia to implement the executive amnesty. . birth rate down, multiple causes. . job crushing anti-business regime. . Article V a great idea but can we get 38 states to ratify amendments? I hope so. Plus, I worry how long the whole Article V process is going to take. . At the rate we're going. . .

So, as I see it, it's Full bore Article V push and see what happens. . if that's hijacked you know what's next, Watering the Tree of Liberty. . May God help us all. . Pray for America and Prepare. .

21) When your country continues its steep slide in objective measures of economic freedom such that it no longer ranks among free nations, and enjoys a ranking between a former Soviet republic and an Arab monarchy. http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking

22) When your country continues its steep slide in press freedom such that it no longer ranks among free nations, and ranks just one notch higher than Haiti. http://rsf.org/index2014/en-index2014.php

23) When your country has been the #1 economic dynamo for 140 years, and drops to #2.
