Treasons of American Progressives and Democrats

Yes, I have am accusing American progressives and radical-liberal democrats, along with some republicans who are in consort with them, of treason!

As you will see, if you study today’s blog, I am absolutely not overstating my case.

Treason is commonly defined as follows:

1. “The offense of acting to overthrow one’s government.  2. A violation of allegiance to one’s sovereign or to one’s state. 3 The betrayal of trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.”
   

I intend to prove the point that so-called “progressivism” has long been a destructive and murderous political force. It should rightfully be considered the evil “dark-side” of political philosophy and practice.

Russell Kirk discusses the main features of radical-liberal progressivism in his amazing book, The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot (1953). He refers to the general tenets of radical-liberal progressivism as “radicalism”, noting that they represent an amalgamation of various secular, utilitarian and science-derived political philosophies. He states that since 1770, radicalism has waged unrelenting attacks upon near universal conservative tendencies, or habits, of societies.

In Kirk’s words, the identifying features of political radicalism are:

1. “The perfectibility of man and the illimitable progress of society: melioration. Radicals believe that education, positive legislation, and alteration of environment can produce men like gods; they deny that humanity has a natural proclivity toward violence and sin.”
2. “Contempt for tradition. Reason, impulse, and materialistic determinism are severally preferred as guides to social welfare, trustier than the wisdom of our ancestors. Formal religion is rejected and various ideologies are presented as substitutes.”
3. “Political levelling. Order and privilege are condemned; total democracy, as direct as practicable, is the professed radical ideal. Allied with this spirit, generally, is a dislike of old parliamentary arrangements and an eagerness for centralization and consolidation.”
4. “Economic levelling. The ancient rights of property, especially property in land, are suspect to almost all radicals, and collectivistic reformers hack at the institution of private property root and branch.”
5. “One can only remark that radicals unite in detesting Burke’s description of the state as ordained of God, and his concept of society as joined in perpetuity by a moral bond among the dead, the living, and those yet to be born—the community of souls.”

Kirk documents that conservative philosophers, though history, have known that these main features of radicalism (i.e., radical-liberal progressivsim) have forever been the ruination of freedom and stability among societies.

It should be clear that those who work to impose these five features of radicalism upon the foundations of America’s Constitutional Republic guilty of treason.

They are  attempting to foment a revolution against our essential, unique and sacred principles of self-governance. In all deceptive and propagandistic ways possible, they are also working to eradicate and stigmatize America’s great historical accomplishments as well as our historically successful values, traditions and religious practices.

I hope you will carefully evaluate the following article. It documents only a fraction of the horrific effects of radicalism/progressivism in the 20th century and then illustrates its traitorous and predictably destructive effects upon all of us in America in the 21 st. century.

Wake-Up America!

Reject progressivism; or suffer death by radical-liberal “transformation”.
