PROGRESSIVES ARE DISTORTING REALITY

PROGRESSIVES ARE DISTORTING REALITY

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist                                                                

The current progressive movement is the outgrowth of the 1960 anti-establishment revolution. In fact many of the leaders of today originated from that movement. Similar to today’s millennials, they were ungrateful for all the sacrifices of their parents. These selfish citizens are a plague on our national soul by attempting to destroy the USA from within. They intend to replace it with a statist government that will take and redistribute other people’s wealth while the elite preserve their wealth, status and power.

Progressives are using the Saul Alinsky: Rules for Radicals playbook. Politics of personal destruction targets and lies about any adversary until they are annihilated. This has morphed into directly distorting reality to undermine the opponent’s position.  As Goebbels said, “You repeat a lie (slogan) long enough, it will become truth.”

PC slogans are being used as the basis for radical change. Currently climate change advocates have reached a level of hysteria where they are saying that if man continues to use fossil fuels and other pollutants our planet will end in 12 years. “Global Cooling” in the 1970s became “Global Warming” and is now “Climate Change.” We are supposed to believe that the climate is changing solely due to man’s negative impact on the earth. If you do not commit to this unscientific viewpoint, you are a heretic. There is only one side to an issue, the progressive side. Everyone else is a denier, racist, white supremacist or other pejorative.

Other PC brandings that have been incessantly repeated by the progressives are: “all men are toxic” or “women are always correct and honest.” Even the activist actress, Merrill Streep, contradicted this narrative by noting that some females can be nasty, toxic people. Her statement is noteworthy as she was breaking with the lock-step feminist narrative.

The assertion that “women and children always tell the truth” is a lie to demean men’s authority and responsibility. It elevates female and children’s power while diluting men’s.  When asked about this statement, psychologists, teachers and most parents will say this is absurd. 

Children have to be trained to be honest, as they will use lying to obtain what they want. This distortion of reality has given youngsters more intellectual ability than they actually possess. Too many parents listen to what their child says as truth. A child will say many things to get attention such as “I would rather be a different sex,” to shock their parents. Some parents are now taking these infantile statements to pursue sex change surgery instead of correcting the child’s thinking by educating them that reconstruction surgery will add to their confusion and dissatisfaction.

The PC mantra that women have a right to their own bodies is currently synonymous with abortion. This disregards the rights of the baby or the father who wants to raise the child. All lives matter, not just the mother’s,  that includes the baby. Killing a viable fetus that resulted from sexual pleasure is the antithesis of Godliness; it is evil hedonism. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights says nothing about protecting hedonistic practices but it does guarantee Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness all of which are denied to an aborted baby.

Yet all twenty-four democrats competing for the nomination to run for president are for abortion up to the third trimester. Senator Gillibrand made a default statement that anyone challenging the woman’s right to her body is a racist. An opposing opinion does not necessarily make a person a racist. Genetically women are not a race but a gender.

The PC concepts being forced upon us go against our national survival.  “Preventing illegal immigration is a racist act” even though all nations have borders to protect their sovereignty. Without enforcing borders there would no longer be law, order or a nation. Yet the Country Club Republicans and the Progressive Democrats seem to have a vested interest in not stopping illegal immigration. The first wants cheap labor for corporations and the second wants a new voting block to insure their party’s viability. Both positions weaken the United State’s long-term ability to remain a united free country.

PC propaganda is growing to pit one group against another. This undermines the unity, thinking and purpose of our nation. Distorting reality to win converts through identity politics might change some elections but it feeds a cancer on our country’s spirit.

PC thought control should be exposed for their lies and confronted when they are introduced.  They should be obliterated as soon as possible. Just like an enemy missile launched to destroy us.  This PC device is meant to undermine the pillars of our culture especially the right to open debate through free speech and rational thinking.

SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE WILL SUBJUGATE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Single Payer Healthcare Will Subjugate the American People

By Domenick J. Maglio, PhD Traditional Realist

Our nation is rapidly moving toward a single payer health care system. The Affordable Healthcare Act is still in the introductory phase of winning the support of the American people for mandatory health insurance for everyone. The promise of developing a quality system while lowering the cost of healthcare was never logical, feasible or expected to work.

Before Obama became president he clearly stated his ultimate goal was a single payer healthcare system. He stated it would take about 15 years for the transition to be implemented. Gradually people had to be persuaded that the healthcare company’s greed was the cause of the poor quality of service. The all-powerful central government only needed more taxing power to solve the substandard system.  

The progressive formula is constant and consistent. When government does not deliver on its promises they blame it on the business sector while taking over more control, which makes matters worse. You are not supposed to believe your lying eyes and personal experiences with the system. There is no need to make it work as long as it is sold by using sophisticated false advertising and trumped up statistics.

Universal healthcare is the nail in the coffin of the free enterprise system that has made us great. Socialism/communism will be ushered in with a vengeance once this new method of redistributing (robbing) our assets is in place. Healthcare was one sixth of our GNP when Obamacare was rammed down our throats. The 2000 page bill was passed in a shady way before any of our representatives could read it. Open bribes bought senator’s votes like the “Cornhusker Kickback” deal. Almost everyday there is a new significant revelation in the bill that grants progressives more power to do things that are not connected to healthcare.

The rallying cry for the progressive is everyone has “a right to free healthcare.” It is not free and is certainly not even the quality that we had. The quality of care should be the issue but it is not. In Marxist leaning countries the people are told they have a right to “free everything under the sun” to con and appease them. The quality of all these programs precipitously drops as good providers quit because their assets and products are being confiscated.

Every citizen is mandated to pay healthcare taxes or face soaring penalties. The higher the taxes, the greater the subjugation of the people. The services the people receive become limited. Inevitably they are denied the best medical practices and even access to keep the cost of the program under control. Eventually the system deteriorates until the promises become a sham.

The greatest disservice free healthcare does to the people is to make them dependent on national healthcare. The government decides what is healthy or is not. They lose the responsibility and desire to maintain their own health. They are unable to regain their health when sick by tried and true natural methods since they are indoctrinated to be dependent on going to the “free clinics” for the most minor ailments.

When fully implemented Universal healthcare will end America, as we know it. It will become another centrally controlled nation. No longer will we be the land of opportunity. Instead we will more rapidly shrink the middleclass of its prosperity and wealth. This has already happened under the Obama administration.

The freedoms insured by constraining the government in our Constitution and Bill of Rights will be eliminated one by one. We will take on the characteristics of a repressive central government. Social mobility of citizens will come to a screeching halt. The social order will become more rigid with a larger dependent welfare class.

Unless we dismantle the beginnings of a single payer healthcare system we will suffer the reality of an all-powerful government. Every person will be mandated to participate in the program with increasing fees for poorer services. This is becoming the new normal for the average citizen.

All Americans remember our nation’s greatness was not based on promises of free things. We were blessed with a constitution that when followed gave us freedom from tyranny and the opportunity to work to climb the socioeconomic ladder of the capitalist free market economy.

We need to eliminate corporate welfare, oppressive government regulations that deny small businesses from entering the marketplace and free handouts to able Americans. We should return to what has made America great: power to the people not to the ruling class.
