I don’t agree. Just because someone who ended up supporting big government wrote something, does not make what they wrote false.
It is much like saying “Harry Reid likes ice cream. Therefore I will never eat ice cream.”
Or, perhaps a better example: Nancy Pelosi said 2+2=4. Therefore it cannot be true.
Enemies can say things that are true.
What happens when someone who you don't realize is your enemy says something true? Or worse, someone who you don't realize is your enemy who is at the same time purposefully positioning themselves as your ally. This purposeful positioning is a blatant deception.
That's the trap. That's how progressivism gets confused into being a good, when it's poisonous.
If you want an even better example, look at how much success progressives have polluting multiple aspects of society by using only two single words: "social justice". They've been riding that one for the last 100+ years.
The problem is that progressives (communist inspired types, particularly) take some modicum of “truth”, about a condition, or a situation, or an event, or something as innocuous as a quote, and they want immediately a one sided media argument about it, for a ONE SIZE FITS ALL solution, by means of a government solution, a mandate, a law, an Executive Order, or a revolution in the streets, performed by their props either in the black community, or Code Pink, or Black Panther types, or Louis Farrakan, or, or, or....
Progressives want a Cram Down.
The danger is that the non-analytical, or the very young have to grow up hearing the loudest voices, in the media 24/7, preaching this one-size-fits-all cram down for their every ache and pain. Then, stick them into public education and turn the Lefty curriculum on them, and wahlah, these youngsters are mules for the Left by the time they hit academia in the universities, as young adults.
Come now, MOST of us faced propaganda on campus. Christians may have survived it best, but fewer and fewer *are* Christians.
Some crap should not be entertained, but it is actually taught.
