Are you like me in that you've had a hard time introducing the progressive revolution to people around you? Are you looking for a more populist, secular, mainstream example? This may help you. You've been surrounded by it your entire life, but any voice that attempted to issue a warning was distorted then erased.
Progressives have been in our nation for about a century now, planning, undermining, impugning. And for most the century, Americans really haven't had any warning. But to the credit of the American people, we have consistently rejected it. Woodrow Wilson and the progressives of their era frightened Americans so much that they had to actually drop their name as "progressives" and start calling themselves liberals. FDR and that era so angered Americans so much - FDR became such a beloved figure to the point that Congress actually got a constitutional amendment passed limiting the presidency to two terms. How much hatred of progressivism do you think is required to get an amendment passed? That's a very, very high hurdle. Any person who claims that FDR is this big beloved figure in American history can not and will not discuss the mood that existed in America between the years of 1947 to 1951. It runs counter to everything they believe.
But these were not the result of warnings of progressivism, rather experience and fear. It was recently made known on national radio that the song "American Pie" is one such warning about the dangers of progressivism. I have no shame in admitting that I did not know this. Did you? Here is a detailed explanation of large parts of the song:
What does The Day the music died mean
This is incredible. Progressives have become so good at revising history that they are fully capable of doing it in real time. To a certain degree, this song is designed to be cryptic. While on the other hand, McLean has made it clear that this song is "a tale about my country"(interview one), the 60's(interview two), and the passing of an era - "it's a cautionary tale to America about what happens when the spirit goes out of something"(interview one)
There is so, so much information that just isn't available online for various reasons. But of the interviews I did find, two of them(above) make clear that this song is about much more than an airplane crash and the death of important musicians. It's metaphorical to the death of America, and it what it used to stand for.
It's a song about how the progressives killed America. And it's up to us to restore it. If we don't, then our children and younger siblings have no future worth speaking of.
Other than Don McLean, how many other warnings about progressivism have been issued over the years? It's hard to say. But thankfully people are sitting up and taking notice and finally, some of those warnings are being heard for what they actually are.
The popularity of Justin Beiber is proof the world is too stupid to continue.
LOL
I would have substituted Lady Gaga for Beiber.
I originally through that the popularity of Disco is proof the world is too stupid to continue.
Somehow we survived until Beiber. But I really think it is all downhill now.
That and the popularity of "American Idol." Somewhere along the line we have to accept that most of the American electorate has been dumbed down so much that restoration is next to impossible.
Just prepare yourself the best you can, continue working for American values, but be realistic.
I liked that show better back when it was called, "The Gong Show", at least they had "Gene Gene the Dancing Machine."
I’ve written a book called “Surviving Civil War II” that goes into the details of the progressive attempt to destroy our Constitutional Republic. We are already in a war over the indentured debt slavery of our children to the welfare state. The Left doesn’t wear Che T-shirts because they want to join the Mickey Mouse Club.

Developing children will have their fads which they will hopefully mature out of.
Well, I know my mental health is deteriorating too. I saw "PGA" on the masthead of this post and tuned in to determine whether I should give a 'Golf Ping'. No kidding.
The next revolution is three missed meals away.
Check out the movie "Idiocracy" for a look at our future.
any time you read a news article with phrases ending in “justice” there’s a Progressive at Play.
I’m seeing way too many in my local paper - everyone here needs to post on the comment sections of local newspaper websites - the progressives/liberals are there doing it - if we don’t....no one else will.
Expose it
Give them the “Gong”
It's the day that "Drove my Chevy to the levee" became "Drive a Prius so they see us."
I always thought this song was a memorial to the murdered civil rights workers Goodman, Cheney, & Schwerner (the levee was dry).
Anyway, Civil War II is on the way. Whoever said the revolution is but three missed meals away might just be spot on.
LOL, I can almost quote that full movie.
Please add to you ping list.
