” Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called “progressives,” do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called “the state,” or “global interests” as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.
In other words, they must turn the Founders’ ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves. “
Exactly what the Obama/Soros agenda is. Remove all of the freedom and responsibility of the INDIVIDUAL, and render all of us subservient to the STATE.
“””Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” - C. S. Lewis
Classic!
Probably has something to do with the attitude...
