Perhaps this is one of the reasons our nation was founded as a Constitutional Republic instead of as a Democracy.

So according to Wilson, it would be perfectly legal and moral if a majority voted to round up a minority and put them all to death or into slavery. And this is the political basis of the party that enjoys the unwavering support of American Blacks and American Jews.

When does logic enter the equation?

They try to grab as much of other peoples' money as they can.

Some crats don't want to take your wealth because stealing is morally wrong. Instead they will settle for destroying it. Arguably destruction is morally more repugnant than stealing but they don't see it that way. Their motive is to reduce their painful feelings of envy. Swapping for painful feelings of guilt does not work for them. So they need 1) poor people as a socially acceptable excuse to take your stuff (there are always poor people), and 2) a bloated government to shred 50% of the wealth right off the top. Of course the government beast willing cooperates. Everybody wins but you, the mark.

the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.

Madison and Jefferson considered the natural rights of the individual as absolute because they are God-given, and as having primacy over the majority and the state.

Wilson is quite correct. Socialism and Democracy are identical twins, bastard children of the same evil parents, Greed and Envy, and until Democracy is properly restrained and controlled, it is a mortal threat to Western Civilization.

If you want on/off my short but hopefully growing list, send me a mail message.

Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their own history.

"If not us, who? If not now, when?"

Me. Now.
