Deception is a cornerstone of progressivism
PGA Weblog ^

Posted on 06/01/2017 1:51:02 PM PDT by ProgressingAmerica

Lies are as important an ingredient in the ideology of progressives as is h20 in water.

Two months ago, a Planned Parenthood pamphlet from 1952 was making the rounds, and everybody was rushing to condemn the organization for it. Here is the pamphlet. Here it is again, and again and again. The last link is the most direct, but at the same time the most problematic. It states at the top "MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH".

This entirely misses the point and as far as I'm concerned, it's dangerous.

If you guys want to attack individual leaves on the tree, you'll never kill the tree itself. That's the problem with this. Every one of these articles - not one of them uses the name of progressivism. Not one. Do you not realize that if you did kill this leaf, the tree would simply grow another leaf?

You won't find a pro-Planned Parenthood comment coming from me, but there's a huge difference between forests and trees.

This pamphlet is actually an indictment of progressivism as a whole, not just this one organization. Progressives have always lived in the "here and now" and this pamphlet is a great example. That is, their primary mode of operation is "what do I have to say here, now, in order to win?"

That's what this pamphlet is all about. They'll deal with the consequences later. Since they control the media, consequences never come. Even our media, focuses on the micro while never pointing to the macro. The big picture. You're right, that one color there in that one section is indeed blue. But the whole picture tells a story! That story is never told.

It's been like this for progressives since the beginning, this isn't anything new. Woodrow Wilson lied about wanting to keep us out of the war. The initiative, referendum, and recall were sold to Americans under false pretenses. The entirety of modern liberalism is a lie! They've been progressives all along, but they spent decades with the shiny new label of "liberalism" from the 1940s until after 2000. That's 60 years! And they're still doing it now, they're not yet ready in total to give up on using the word "liberal" as a hiding ground.

In general, it doesn't matter where you look for progressivism, they must lie, cheat, and steal in order to achieve their purpose.

The only time you find progressives honest enough about their beliefs, is a brief few year period early on in their writings and speeches.

It is especially ingrained after being utterly destroyed after the turn of the 1920's: In order to simply survive, progressives had to come up with a way, and that way was to take over the word "liberal" in the 1930s. Progressives cannot and will not be honest ever again. They've learned their lesson.

We need to learn ours. In this instance, the issue is not the actual issue. The real issue is progressive ideology and how to destroy it.

If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message

Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

Summary: Identifying the actual problem is or should always be the first priority. If you don't identify the actual problem, then no solution will work.

Political correctness was developed by the Communists/Progressives to control the narrative for obvious reasons.

It has worked remarkably well.

This is how progressives operate.

They put these fliers out to win a battle over contraception. They said what they had to say, as they always do. And then they changed their stance when it was time for the abortion battle.

I hate to say this to you, but Glenn Beck pointed this out when these fliers were first exposed.

Because it is at odds with reality.

Modern liberals are so often illiberal and their ideas of progressing are so often regressive because they try to interpose government tax and spend where private benevolence prompted by the Lord is the appropriate answer.

They might have even felt sincere at the time. But they were being moved by the prince of lies.

Truly, I believe we know plenty about the “problem”. It’s the solution to the problem we are in need of hearing more about.

Hopefully, things are turning around. With Trump’s presidency, the Right has at least found their voice and their mojo, except for a few stragglers and foot draggers, and we are at long last ready to strike back, in kind.

double standards + hypocrisy + demonizing/denigration + hate + decisiveness + ridicule/mockery + accusations without evidence = libtard arguments

It only works because they were able to get control of all curricula in 1930s and all publishing companies so they could warp the little children and flip their worldview from Christianity to Materialism (humanism). By the 60s, they had the Bible and all worldview which created the Constitution erased in the schools and they started with the Neo-Marxist, Neo-Freudian brainwashing of very little children to destroy their natural desires and understanding of Truth (God)-—with the help of the sodomites in Hollywood (the ones raping all the little boys like Cory Feldman).

This Jekyll Island plan was designed to flip 2000 years of worldview back to the ignorant serf-minds of slaves (pre-Christian)-—to remove all the philosophy and genius which created the US Constitution and Rule of Law-—and they vilify ALL the white males who created the Age of Reason and Modern Science, so they could discredit their worldview—and ERASE IT from the future minds-—to create little non-thinking “bots” for the evil elite sodomites and their NWO of total slavery of the masses.

You are exactly right.

And the gradualism of Fabian Socialism fits in very nicely.

They can change the name all they want, but it’s still communism.
