The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

The progressive movement in America? What a pretty name for communists!

Some of you are too young to remember William Jennings Bryan's "Cross Of Gold," speech, but his populism was thinly disguised leftism and overt anti-elitism. But that began to change, especially with Wilson, and then the equally execrable FDR. The progressives peaked in the 1930s-1940s with the New Deal, failed for 20 years, then came back roaring in the 1960s. But every time, America and Americans said...No!

Eventually. And they didn't roll back the rapidly growing elitist regulatory and administrative state. Which is odd, because it is quite obviously a product of our "elite" educational institutions, carefully cultivates the American version of royalty, and specifically rejects grassroots pressure that isn't linked to Tammany Hall style voting blocs.

And...it's back! But this time the left has found new allies in the 3rd World and Islam. No longer do they seek out American farmers or American unemployed or American students or American blacks. No...they have carefully cultivated an alliance with aliens...both illegal and legal.

That's the difference, and it's a big one. There is no core of patriotism (however weak) among the left's new shock troops. They vote blindly, like all leftists, but they also seek as payment a shift away from the overarching structure of American life, culture, and political institutions. The "Melting Pot" is gone, replaced by a hodgepodge of alien religious and cultural norms that are antithetical to American Exceptionalism, free markets, and the freedom and liberty on which this country was founded. Support for cradle-to-grave government aide is bad enough, but alien political philosophies that are directly opposed to the United States Constitution, in particular the growing number of majority-Islamic cities in America, will mean the destruction of the rule of law, and the loss of religious, economic, and cultural freedom that has created this country.

What they want is nothing less than the end of America. As Barack Obama hoped for:

...we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.

These are fundamental changes that will accelerate until the American people have had enough. But there's the rub.

Have we already reached the tipping point?
