publisher James Preston Allen claims that no one knows we are reading his “news”paper.
Perhaps the NSA have not found that many who are still reading the trotted-out,
burned-out, no longer viable liberal rhetoric of class warfare and racism as
the cause of all evils, or the rehashed arguments that hollow, feckless
Progressivism is the answer.

Also fascinating, Allen remarks that federal spying began with
the Palmer raids during World War I, which also led to the arrest and
incarceration of self-described socialist Eugene V. Debs. Yet strangely enough,
Allen neglects to mention the President who ordered those raids: Progressive
Democrat Woodrow Wilson, the same President who forced all African-American
employees out of the federal government during his tenure. Allen also left out
who pardoned the unjustly-incarcated Debs: free market Republican President
Warren G. Harding, who entered office on a platform of “returning to normalcy”,
complete with lower tax rates and drastic cuts in federal spending, because
progressive policies are neither normal nor create progress. Harding and “Silent
Cal” Coolidge’s policies restored what Wilson’s policies had ruined.

Allen also ought to acknowledge that President Barack Obama’s
spying has overreached beyond anything propagated during the Bush
Administration. The current President has collected the records on three
hundred million Americans (aside from seizing records of phone calls from AP
reporters). Does Obama believe that the vast majority of us are terrorists? He
turned a blind eye to the IRS targeting conservative groups, and he had no
knowledge of the causes or consequences of the terrorist attacks on Benghazi.
Perhaps he should stop spying on all of us and start paying attention to
correcting his own failing policies: ObamaCare, stimulus, unwarranted attacks
on gun rights, etc.

I find it fascinating that Allen referenced President
Richard Nixon in his latest editorial, too, connecting the collapse of
democracy, the encroachment of the state, and the fall of the communist
Salvadore Allende. If any President more resembles Richard Nixon for the litany
of lies, distortions, cover-ups, and outright illegality, complete with a media
Enemies List, one need look no further than President Barack Obama.

Why is it that every time a Progressive comes to power, more
people end up spied on, arrested, attacked for their political views? Indeed, “Propaganda
is always a threat to democracy”, especially the left-leaning kind which treats
their kind as saints, and denigrates anyone who cogently disagrees with them.
