#171 “I DO agree that the intellectual basis sustaining progressive ideology has stalemated. It can go no further.”

Stalemated? No, the progressive ideology is being shown daily to be rotten to the core. It is built on lies and a complete misunderstanding of what William Saroyan would have called the human comedy. And increasing numbers of so-called progressives and liberals are beginning to understand that reality.

“Compassionate Conservatism didn’t make the grade. What will, I don’t know. But, what must, is a given, in my view, if a conservative ideology is to survive the future opposition of progressive thought. *It* is a weakness that the progressives attack over and over again.

Conservatives give much more to donations and taking care of people than do Liberals. Been that way for a while.

If that isn’t the root of compassionate conservatism, I don’t know what is.

Conservatives know “there but for the grace of God go I” – disasters can happen to any of us, and frequently do. And we understand that man is fallible.

Progressives want the govt to take care of it. Conservatives understand individuals must do it if only for the humanity of it, something always lacking even in a good bureaucracy.

Progrossives and their ilk, though presently powerful, are trying to legislate things which most of understand in our bones. Conservatism understands mankind as it really is, and because of that, Conservatives will win out, perhaps not without terrible personal cost…

But.we.will.win.
