I am a little big troubled that more people haven't noticed this particular part of Levin's great speech. So I clipped this segment, and have posted the details of where you can find that which Levin refers to.(no difference between blog text and the above text, but here is the link anyways)

If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message

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

As an aside note, I'd like to welcome several new people to the ping list. I would like to note that most of what I post about is of a historical nature, but I try to package and source every bit of it so as to make it useful.

Nothing new to those who have read Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning . The book should be required reading for conservatives in general, and those on your ping list in particular.

On that last, please add me.

Your link in this sentence does not work. I hope you are able to provide a working one? Thanks for this article. Glad to have it.

What he is referring to comes out of Woodrow Wilson’s book “Constitutional Government In The United States”. There are two things, actually. One of them is from page 16, which I made a posting about some time ago. (link embedded in last 3 words)

Glenn Beck’s been going on about the evil that is Woodrow Wilson for several years now.

The people and mechanisms involved in the deliberate subversion of American liberty are pretty obvious to the informed observer. Woodrow Wilson is indeed an early malefactor. We would have to root out bad artifacts going back least a century to restore something approximating what the Founders envisioned. The odds of a sweeping, sudden, authoritarian Washington government coup d’état against the Constitution, the People and the States, or an open and many factioned civil war, are at least as great as a Restoration.

Most conservatives today consider Carter to be our worst president, probably soon to be equaled or eclipsed by Obama. However, Wilson must rank at rock bottom. Just a few of his greatest hits:

Domestically, he deliberately neglected to take any action about the Spanish flu. Even worse, he squelched news of it, so people across the country were unaware of the danger until it hit their own communities. Who knows how many thousands of Americans died because of the way Wilson handled the epidemic.

In foreign policy, he got us into the European war when he ran for reelection on a promise not to. The Spanish flu was already bringing an end to the war, and we got into it very late. Our entry wasn't necessary, and I believe it was just an excuse for what he did when the fighting stopped. He doubled down on his treachery by pushing the League of Nations -- the first primitive attempt at world government, which we're still stuck with today. His ham-handed mess in Versailles led directly to the rise of Adolf Hitler and World War II.

There's circumstantial evidence to suggest he caught the flu while in Versailles. Then he had his stroke and set another bottom-feeding precedent. He didn't resign the presidency, but essentially let his wife become de facto president. Today we still have politicians hang on to their offices long after they become severely infirm or incapacitated.

There's more, way more in Wilson's record that harmed not only Americans of his time, but is still harming us today.

It only took one to two generations of voters attending modern government socialist K-12 schools to become comfortable enough with socialism to vote for a Fabian socialist.

Woodrow Wilson's creation of a liberty sucking bureaucracy is well documented in a book "Grand Theft Liberty (The People's Case Against The Government)" written by a friend of mine, Greg Pasco. The book is available in a Kindle edition here.

Admire Mark... However, the first progressive President was T.R.

He is the one that launched the Nation into this final, unstoppable, death-rattle spiral that will culminate in a centuries-long marxist tyranny...
