I think it is fair to say that Progressives favor big government and that most of today's Progressives are either 60s and 70s misfits or have been influenced by them. Further, they have embedded themselves in all levels of our government and bureaucracies.
I have often said, "Give them enough time and Progressives will tell you what they really think." The recent statement by the co-chairman of the Colorado ACLU, Loring Werbel, http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN0TV06420151212 that suggests shooting Trump voters before Election Day proves my point. Now of course, Wirbel has said it was a joke and has stepped down.
Back when Obama pal, Bill Ayers, was in the Weather Underground, the FBI infiltrated the group. The undercover agent testified that if the group ever gained power, they planned to create re-education camps (where have we heard that before?) to deal with those who are uncooperative and they were completely comfortable with having to eliminate as much as 1/4 of the American population.
If people like this ever become "the government", who will protect us from "the government"? This is why the Framers insisted on the 2nd Amendment and today's patriots continue to support it. Could it also be why Progressives are so opposed to it? I don't know and I don't want to find out.
Even more likely scenario: A group launches a "Tet Offensive"-style coup attempt in the US. While the Administration tries to determine if it is "An uptick in workplace violence" who is protecting the general population?
ReplyDeleteKen, I continue to wonder how this radicalized thoughts have become mainstream. Bill Ayers and his ilk are now somehow lionized because of their crimes....and linked to the current occupant of the White House.
