CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 28, 2018
I THINK I READ SOMEWHERE THERE ARE 95 OF THEM – NEWLY ELECTED HOUSE MEMBERS WHO ARE CALLED “PROGRESSIVES.” THEY USED TO BE LIBERALS BUT WHEN THAT WORD BECAME A NEGATIVE IN SOME CIRCLES, THEY CHANGED IT TO PROGRESSIVE. SAME POLICIES – HIGHER TAXES, MORE SPENDING, BIGGER GOVERNMENT, MORE REGULATIONS, OPEN BORDERS, ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY. THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP.
THE MEDIA WILL FEATURE THEM PROMINENTLY IN 2019 BECAUSE MOST OF THE MEDIA BELIEVE GOVERNMENT IS OUR SAVIOR, DESPITE ITS INABILITY TO SAVE ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY OUR MONEY.
FORTUNATELY, THE SENATE AND PRESIDENT WILL BE ABLE TO STOP MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THE LEGISLATION THEY PROPOSE, BUT WE AREN’T FAR FROM A SOCIALIST STATE. YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE EMBRACING THE NOTION OF SOCIALISM MORE THAN EVER, THOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER LIVED UNDER IT. THEY LOVE THE IDEA OF FREE TUITION, FORGIVEN STUDENT LOANS AND THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL PAY FOR IT ALL. MAYBE THEY SHOULD SPEND A YEAR IN A SOCIALIST COUNTRY TO GET THEIR MINDS ADJUSTED.
BIG GOVERNMENT IS A FALSE GOD AND THESE PROGRESSIVES ARE ITS DISCIPLES. I’M CAL THOMAS.
