Government policies are the symptom. Most FReepers make the error of thinking that the symptom is the same as the cause.

The cause is the thinking that man is good, man is smart, man can solve his own problems, and that man can solve any problem acting as his own higher power.

Progressivism is simply the vehicle to advance the belief.

Identity politics, along with the surging dependent class, combined with the breakdown in the family structure caused a shift from rugged, traditional individualism to a clamoring for the government to provide virtually everything.

Revisionist history. It was FDR who started us down the road to socialist hell.

The year I graduated high school and went into the Army. Remember it like it was yesterday, in some ways. In others, it’s like a previous life or ancient history.
