Regressive Progressives

 

So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.

To what goal are Progressives progressing? Our goal as Christians is Heaven. What’s their goal? It’s always unstated.

Starboard goals have changed only marginally in my lifetime, at least outside the South. The portside’s discrete objects are protean. The fad-driven quality of gliberal and leftoid discourse is a signature. It’s not a goal but a set of processes. The leftoid’s understanding of public life resembles high school, with the legal profession and the academy performing the role of the school administration and elected officials relegated to the status of operators of toy telephones (rather like a student council). High school student bodies are composed of pupils fed official narratives, not free men with a living to earn and children to rear and property to maintain. In high schools, the only people collecting a salary are on state payrolls.

The Progressives tell us to jump and we are supposed to ask: “How high?” It is all about one person owning another person. Independence be damned. The denial of the human person composed of physical body and transcendent soul. Progressives are the imposition of atheism on our political and social body. With the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, the progressives have been living “The Lord of the Flies” translating to Beelzebub, the rioting, vandalism, hatred of Founding Fathers and our Founding Principles, outlaws all. You will know them by what they do.
