Go to class!

Today's GB show was one of the BEST lessons in Progressivism EVER
One of the three guests was longtime Freeper LS! I want to tell you, before I found out you were a Freeper I was personally so impressed -g-
LS FR profile
Thread Announcement of GB Appearance
Recommended books by Ls -Thomas Sowell’s “A Vision of the Anointed, Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism.

I will later post the YouTube on GB's show today, for it is a keeper! Also will get transcript. Some highlights :
Today's Lesson was all about the history of Progressivism. Woodrow Wilson gave us WWI, UN, Federal Reserve.Progressive tax, Said NOT to bother reading the preamble,used Europe as a guide, especially Germany,bigot extraordinaire

Next,Teddy Roosevelt who is McCains hero, thus GB calling him a Conservative Progressive.

FDR likened to BHO, uses scapegoats when he fails, FDR said we need a second Bill of Rights

Others called Progressives---John Dewey George Bernard Shaw GB called frightening, with his desire to reduce human population.. Margaret Sanger planned parenthood, again, human population reduction , as is abortion.
It was stated we now have 80 members of Congress in current Congressional Progressive caucus.

Guests today were LS AKA Larry Schweikart who wrote a Patriots History of the U.S. said " My skin crawls in regards to progressivism" and how radical this administration's progressives are.

R.J. Pestritto wrote : Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalism . Said the liberals detest our Constitution.(The words liberal& democrat are dead) That they believe in legal realism.
1920- Roscoe Pound Went to Harvard Law,using courts to change how things were.
GB said this book "Made my eyes bleed". Best reading are the Federalists Papers.
READ: American Progressivism
Theodore Roosevelt Was No Conservative

Burton Folsom Jr New deal,or Raw deal.-How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America. the introduction gives you a great reference about book. He said there is no rule of law and in the course HE teaches he requires a course on our Constitution. As well as RJ, he recommends: Woodrow Wilson The roots of Modern Liberalism and stated the separation of powers is ESSENTIAL.

That was one of the best, most informative shows I’ve ever seen.

I must admit, I don’t know much about Woodrow Wilson and fully intend to read up on him. Also plan to read the books by the three authors on this show.

I never considered that there are progressive republicans...that’s how naive I am.

I throughly enjoyed his show today. Thanks LS.

Regarding FDR, I used to think that the only good thing he did economically was to reform the banking system. Guess what? He messed that up too. Recent reforms are only compounding the problem.

Canadian Banks vs. US Banks

Mark Stein recently said that Canadian banks are doing much better than US banks because they aren’t being regulated as heavily [and not coerced into risky loans]. Google research revealed something almost as intersting:

I agree Piper, Beck’s Friday show was one of his best and his three guests were excellent!

Their ability to show how progressivism weaved its evil spell though our politics.

Today they are have become full blown progressive fascists, headed by an arrogant, narcissistic, elitist!

Pray for our country and Be Ever Vigilant!

Watch. ..and listen, to Glenn Beck. He is doing an enormous service in educating the public to the gruesome politcal realities of our day. (Do not like his preferences for third Party; and his always hitting Repubs with same hammer/ as Dems; other than that. .. he is doing a great job.)

This week, Beck's Progressive educating efforts should earn him a . . .'Pulitzer'!
