“On the left, leaders of the Progressive movement are wealthy, highly educated, extremely intelligent...”
Are they really “extremely intelligent”? I know they think they are.
Over their dead bodies...
Like the Scarecrow, Progressives believe that intelligence is imparted by way of a diploma.
That’s exactly right. Well said.
English were all the same, over 200 years ago
I think it's because they're a bunch of lazy pussies.
What horsecrap.
They are selfish, not so damned bright, even if overeducated, and their reason and what passes for logic in their circles is deeply flawed.
Those who aren't in it to get filthy rich milking it for personal gain are the starry-eyed cannon fodder of the New Left, deluded into believing that by divesting themselves of technology they can somehow make the world a better place, apologists not for the human condition, but for being human at all, traitors to their species, taking giant rearward steps on the path of civilization to asuage a guilt for having been born, and trying their damndest to inflict that retrogression on all humanity to achieve what they think would be Utopia. Of course, that all sounds nice in theory, but those rules aren't for them, or so they think.
In the meantime, those capitalizing on the socialism of the masses seek to have the corner office in the Ivory Tower, if not the Penthouse, and would deem themselves worthy to make rules for us all.
We're going to need more lamp posts and a lot of stout rope before the dust settles.
They’re not. ‘Intellect’ can NEVER replace ‘wisdom’. NEVER.
There are irreconciliable differences between the liberal world view and the conservative world view.
Pick various issues, and you will see that if we have certain policies in place, there is no compromise possible.
Some issues are:
abortion
same sex marriage
healthcare
affirmative action
government spending/balanced budgets
the government programs which we spend the money on
education
feminism
environmentalism
energy policy
capitalism vs. socialist policies
socialist policies vs. individual freedoms
I’m sure others can express this better than I can. But just saying, that if we adopt the most liberal policies in many areas, there is no room for the conservative/traditional/capitalist approach. If we lock in socialism/collectivism, then that becomes the social, economic, and governmental structure through which all issues are viewed and decided.

Oh, this is good stuff.
Hello, again, 2ndDivisionVet. We’re in big trouble, and this piece that you posted says it so very well. It reminds me of my favorite piece by me: http://www.dakotavoice.com/2010/03/an-open-letter-to-the-evil-tyrants-in-washington/
Pray for our Mississippi Gulf Coast. I saw a model that puts the wave, that’s currently at Cuba, at Grand Isle on Monday. But, you know how hurricane “models” are.
This is the way that the world will end
This is the way that the world will end,
This is the way that the world will end,
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Winning this war will require more than going to the polls. In fact that may be the least effective means of reestablishing the Constitution as the controlling force in our government.
This is not a war that can be taken lightly by sunshine patriots. We must, if we are to bring our nation back to the spirit of its founders, be willing to make the same commitment that our forefathers made. We must risk our honor, our fortune and our lives in support of winning a war that is of no less importance than the revolution that gave us our nation.
This does not mean taking to the streets with guns blazing. Though it may come to that if the forces of evil that plague us succeed in subverting the electorate, the economy, our traditional society and our republic.
We brought 2 million voices to the Capital and were ignored. We will not be ignored again.
We will bring down the Democrat party.
We will bring down the current presidency.
We must, however, if we are to succeed, establish once again a government of, for and by the people, all of the people, not just the unions, the leftists and select minorities.
We must control our government institutions, reigning them in to provide the absolute minimum of services and only those provided for under our Constitution.
We must regain control of our civil society by establishing the laws of God in our social intercourse instead of the laws of the jungle.
We must never be ashamed to be a good people guided by decency and honor. We must draw a line in the sand and demand an end to the celebration of all manner of perversion.
We must insist that we are a Godly people, respecting the right of dissent but never submitting to the rule of contempt for all we hold precious.
If we are able to do all this we will regain our sacred honor. If we cannot we will surely enter a dark age that could delineate the end of freedom.
Not the first time that Socialists and political theorists have been overawed with themselves and have underestimated their opposition.
I reckon there are a lot of other parallels as well.
"War" didn't just "begin". To be fair, you'd have to admit the "rebellion" then was in part a response to an escalation of forced conscriptions to fight an undeclared war by Democratic administrations in the 60's (following the Tongkin Gulf incident).
Not all opponents were radicals, as mainstream churches joined protests by the early 70's. Today's all-volunteer system, is an admission that the earlier draft wasn't the optimum way to staff a professional military.
Radical philosophies, are really a separate matter, as they've survived (long after those specific issue-based protests stopped).
I think the civil war will be between the private sector tax payers and the local, state and federal employees’ unions. The private sector is enduring reduced salaries, reduced hours, increased payments for health care and other benefits at the same time they are footing the bill for unreal salaries and benefits for the public sector.
