"Those who called themselves "progressives" have worked like termites to erode and destroy America's foundations in liberty"

I had an exterminator describe how termites behave as a collective and calling progressives "termites" is spot on. They survive as a group with predefined divisions of labor, they work tirelessly to find large sources of food (our homes) to feed the giver of life - the queen (their state), they know exactly how much they can destroy before they bring down the structure or give away their destructive activities, and they make calculated sacrifices of their workers to break through chemical barriers if they run low on food (other people's money). The whole ecosystem is the insect world of liberalism (or maybe the other way around).

Thank you, uncommonsense, for such an apt description of the parallels between the activities of termites and those of the movement in America variously called "liberal" and "progressive," where those who would undermine and destroy the foundations of liberty have combined to erode and destroy the very supports essential to that liberty.

Unwilling to call what they have done by the ugly name of "censorship," they systematically have removed America's founding ideas from the so-called "education" system they controlled, thereby robbing new generations of understanding the Source of their lives, rights, liberty, and laws.

A massive effort must be undertaken to restore the foundations, using every means available, so that future generations will not live in slavery to those whose ideas are counterfeit.
