Our continued worship of false idols, like wealth and the wealthy, has permitted the likes of global elites to tear down freedom and rights not only in America, but also all over the world. Everything they plan, orchestrate, and do revolves around the continuance of personal wealth and power and their undisputed claims to intellectual and moral superiority – and all at the expense of humankind.

Does the author of this article claim to be a conservative? The reason I ask is because it sure sounds to me like she's arguing here in favor of a centralized economy. Do you think the author has any statistics showing the percentage of people in the world living in freedom today vs. 50 years ago? Do you think she knows how many countries are democracies today vs. 50 years ago? Does she have any grasp of real per-capita GDP in the world today vs. 50 years ago?

This is one bizarre individual with some very scary ideas.

For your information democracy <> freedom.

Americans are less free than they were 50 years ago, arguably then there is less freedom in the world than there was 50 years ago.

Thats funny because its really the "free traders" who are centralizing the global economy.

I'm not sure if she is arguing for a centralized economy. She sounds like more of a "Third Way" type.
