CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 27, 2022
WHAT MAKES SO-CALLED “PROGRESSIVEISM” SO ATTRACTIVE? I THINK IT’S THE BELIEF YOU ARE OWED THINGS, ENTITLED TO THINGS, DESERVE THINGS.
THERE IS NOTHING IN PROGRESSIVISM THAT REQUIRES ANYTHING FROM ITS CITIZENS, OTHER THAN THEIR VOTES. GOVERNMENT WILL GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU NEED AND WILL TAKE IT FROM RICH PEOPLE. YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORK, OR WORK HARD. NOTHING IS REQUIRED OF YOU.
PROGRESSIVISM, WHICH DISGUISES SOCIALISM – EVEN COMMUNISM – IS ON THE UPSWING. IN ADDITION TO OBVIOUS COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA AND VENEZUELA, BRAZIL IS LIKELY TO ELECT A LIBERAL PRESIDENT IN ITS COMING ELECTION. CHINA IS INFILTRATING SOUTH AMERICA AND IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA COUNTRIES TO SPREAD ITS INFLUENCE.
THE VALUES I LEARNED GROWING UP ARE INCREASINGLY DISCARDED – STAY IN SCHOOL, GET MARRIED BEFORE HAVING CHILDREN, DEVELOP CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY AND WORK HARD, FAITH IN GOD AND ATTEND CHURCH – ALL THESE AND MORE ARE BEING DISCARDED IN AMERICA IN FAVOR OF THE BELIEF THAT GOVERNMENT IS YOUR KEEPER, YOU SHALL NOT WANT.
IF THIS ISN’T TURNED AROUND – AND SOON – ALONG WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION – WE WON’T RECOGNIZE THIS COUNTRY IN A FEW MORE YEARS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
