Posted on 12/28/2010 10:06:06 PM PST by RINOS ARE RADICALS
The political landscape in America over the past several decades can be explained simply through the lens of the Hegelian Dialectic.
Thesis (Liberal Agenda) Anti Thesis(Republican politicians) Synthesis(Liberals along with RINOS pass statist agenda).
This is why the establishment Republicans fight tooth and nail for candidates like Mike Castle, Lisa Murkowski and John McCain; they are the ones who will help deliver the synthesis in the name of compromise which in the end strips us of more and more of our liberties.
The last thing the GOP leadership needs are more Conservatives who will make it much more difficult for them to hide their true intentions, greed, power and ideology.(Attacks on Demint perfect example).
As long as McConnell, Cornyn and Boehner have enough RINOS around they can pose as phony Conservatives while blaming the so called mavericks for voting along liberal lines.( They do this through a RINO voting rotation).
Notice that over the years you hear very little of suspended or pulled chairmanships from those who vote in direct opposition to the Constitution, constituents and party leadership on major pieces of legislation.
No, in fact during the primaries, these are the same politicians that the leadership in many cases pour millions of dollars along with other resources to defeat the same type of Conservatives they claim to be.
In many ways, I believe since Bush 41, we have had a one party system, that acts out this process over and over again stripping Americans of more and more of their liberties and freedoms while claiming compromise and moderation.
Please take a look at the link I think they do a much better job of explaining the slow process of spreading the statist agenda.

I disagree, the article I posted was written by two brilliant people, who understand how this process is being implemented in American politics today.
Its the American people who don't get the fact that these people are working with the Democrats to politically destroy all Conservatives and offer us no choices on election day.
Listen to the statements from this man, who had great influence in both Bush administrations. Add to that the who's who from the Republican party that were and are members of Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations.

Sorry, this psychobabble drips of pure liberalism; perfection through debate and compromise.
The way I see it the more we compromise our founding document, the less perfect our nation becomes.
We are evolving into a tyranny, not out of one.
Americans are becoming less educated, not more.
Thanks

I don't think so, either. What the official GOP has decided to do is "make hay while the Sun shines." That is, occupy enough safe seats to make sure that their major contributors are well positioned with their hay in the barn, for that inevitable time when the Sun sets.
Think back to The Revolution. About 25-30% of the colonists supported it, about 1-2% actually fought for it. Another 30% of the people wanted to keep the King, and the rest hung around to see what was going to happen. And that's the way the electorate breaks down today. 35% reliable Republicans, 40% reliable Democrats, and the rest "independents," i.e., people who have no clue about what's going on but just want to survive and will apparently vote for whomever promises them the most.
The GOP will jettison any ideology that they think will hurt their appeal to Group C. I do not deny the Tea Party's power. But they are still a distinct minority and b the cold light of dawn, will not have the legislative vote-power to shape events over the next two years. That will not prevent them for being blamed for them; blamed that is, by BOTH the Democrats and the GOP.
Agreed
That must be some sort of estimate across all the colonies, because it doesn't apply here in northwestern NC. Everybody I knew grewing up was descended from settlers in the colonial era, and everybody had a Revolutionary War veteran in the family tree, sometimes more than that. I have seven. The Tories were all routed out back then, either killed or run off from the country, their properties seized and sold to defray war expenses.
Each compromise with the left moves us further to the left of center. The republican party is the party of compromise and the democratic socialist never compromise. The dialectic has worked to perfection for America’s demise. Having just experienced the murkowski debacle close hand it is impossible to deny that Hegel is alive and well in Alaska.
Yes, I think his numbers are off, he Hegeled me.
Money and influence in Washington always flows away from the special interest group called “the American citizen and tax payer” and towards leftist and international organizations.
Well said.
You miss the point, but it would take too long to explain to someone like yourself.
Cheers
Hegel was presented to me as a philosopher who sought to understand the evolution of the political process. We only spent one lecture on the subject, but I’ve always remembered Forrest McDonald drawing on the board as he showed the Hegelian Dialectic via diagram. Forrest was quite the radical historian. :-)
You are a perfect example of how professors (highly intelligent) indoctrinate their students; portraying marxist philosophers as Gods.
Sorry my friend, but the concept of appeasement, collective thinking, utopianism and compromise is 100% Marx, which is why so many have chosen this process to gradually implement totalitarianism on a society.
This also explains why your professor spent so much time cramming it into your brain.
Hope you see the light.
Cheers
Well one lecture thats a good thing. Sounds to me you have avoided at least some aspects of the brainwashing and propaganda that is rampant throughout most college campuses.
That lecture was almost 20 years ago, and Dr. McDonald has retired. :(
