History illustrates – time and again – that the Left believes in power over the people (all for their own good of course!) But then again, that would require Leftist to know more about real history than “America/slavery/Nazis/Republicans bad!”
A few ruminations from the Lefty “elite” throughout the ages:
“The poor man does not need to be educated. His station gives him a compulsory education. He could have no other.” — Jean-Jacques Rousseau, in “Emile”
“Distrust the judgment of the multitude in matters of reasoning and philosophy; its voice is that of wickedness, stupidity, inhumanity, unreason, and prejudice…” — Denis Diderot, author of “L’Encyclopedie”
“For men, as they have been hitherto educated, are incompetent to form a correct or sound judgment on any subjects except those which are connected with the certain sciences in which they have been instructed. On all others, in consequence of being compelled from infancy to receive the absurd doctrine of free will and responsibility, they have necessarily been rendered irrational.” — Robert Owen, father of American socialism
“Psychologically, this talk of feeding the starving masses is nothing but the expression of saccharine-sweet sentimentality characteristic of the intelligentsia…” — Vladimir Lenin
Wow…what a great collection of caring, compassionate, unselfish “progressives”.
But hey…they freed us all from the stodgy, puritanical “morality” of those nutty Christian fundies, right? After all, you brought us the “sexual revolution” of the 60′s, right? Too bad no ones seems to recall that the so-called “revolution” was advanced primarily by citing the “research” of a far Left radical named Alfred Kinsey, a man who shared his wife with his co-workers (talk about unselfish!) and whose “research” found that children – including babies – enjoyed sex.
What was the basis of that outrageous claim? Interviews with pedophiles.
But hey, what about the miraculous turn around we’ve seen in America’s black community?
- In the 1960s, out-of-wedlock births for black Americans was around 20%. Today, the number is above 70%.
- In the 1960s, black Americans enjoyed one of the the highest employment percentages amonst ethnic groups. Today, they “enjoy” the lowest.
- In the 1960s, black Americans had relatively low criminal stats. Today, the highest amongst ethnnic groups.
Yay!
Feminism and abortion-rights? Another example of the amazing “progressive” enlightenment that sprang forth from the heady days of the 60’s, right?
Hardly. Gloria Steinham — godmother of 60’s feminism — listed as one of her primary influences a woman named Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood and advocate for the “reproductive rights” of women. Know what else she was an advocate of? Eugenics – the policy of sterlizing the mentally handicapped and “undesirable” populations…like blacks.
“We do not want word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population” — Margaret Sanger
Yeah…I bet you didn’t, Marge! How “unprogressive” of you! Just how far-reaching were the consequences of Sanger’s advocacy of eugenics? She was a close associate of one Dr. Paul Popenoe, a leader in the American eugenics movement who conducted one of the largest experiments in eugenics in California. Want to know who eventually based their own eugenics program on Dr. Popenoe’s study? The Nazis.
Currently, Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. It would seem that Sanger’s dream is alive and well, eh?
The Left is poison to civilization.
