they
chose liberation. For the record, “progressive” President Abraham Lincoln was a
Republican. So was Frederick Douglass, and the first popularly elected
African-American US Senator, Edward Brooke. “Progressive trends” did not “give
equal rights” to women either, for all are created equal and endowed by their
Creator with unalienable rights (see TheDeclaration of Independence, not The Constitution)Furthermore, The Constitution is not a “living
document”, but a stable instrument to “establish, ensure, provide, and protect”
limited powers to the federal government. Otherwise, why have an amendment
process in the first place? Also, “Gay marriage” is neither progressive nor
indicative of a new step on the “long arch of history”. Scan the annals of
ancient Greece, which witnessed widespread depopulation because of the
break-down in normal human relations and stable families. George Orwell’s
dystopian novel 1984 parodies “progressive trends” fully realized:
telescreens spy on every member of society; historians falsify history to
propagandize elite interests; and fleshly sense triumphs over sanity, while
mechanical sentiment replaces human sensibility. “Progressivism” unrestricted
exposes an Orwellian core. “Progressivism” should be called “Liberal Fascism”,
the title of an excellent book by conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg, which
“progressives” might consider reading when they have some free time.
