THE END GAME

In recent weeks Glen Beck has talked about categorizing people by political philosophy or ideology: Liberals, Conservatives, Libertines and Progressives. A survey was posted on his web site to determine where you fit. Glen has spent much time in defining Progressives. Progressives date back to Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. It was a time when government started to stray from the precepts of the Constitution. It was the start of bigger government, taxes and social programs. Progressives want to change the way we are governed. It’s a slow process (evolution) in comparison to Marxism which is a quick (revolution) change. The end game is the same, government control and take over.

The American people may not be tuned in to history, labels or surveys, but they know when something is wrong... That’s why we’ve seen the rise of the Tea Party Movement and the falling poll numbers of Congress and the President. Elections in Virginia, NJ and Massachusetts have called for change. The people can no longer be fooled by political rhetoric, the deception and lies that come from the mouths of our elected officials will no longer be tolerated. We watch them spin and twist information and data to fit their needs. I found it disturbing when the President told Senator McCain, at the HC Summit, that the campaign is over. The campaign may be over, but the words live on. I guess what a Politician says during a campaign and what he does, once elected, doesn’t matter. The problem is, it does matter, it s a reflection of his/her character and integrity. I’m beginning to wonder if anyone in Washington has any integrity or character. Through modern technology we follow their every move and have clips to proof what they say and do.

The past year has awakened the soul of the nation. People are angry. They only have to look at the bailouts, takeovers and insurmountable debt to know government isn’t working. They know government is getting too big and arrogant. Many in government and the media look upon the American people as stupid and that government knows best. That type of philosophy is an indicator that we have moved into a Progressive ideology. It’s a sign that the evolution needs to be stopped. It’s a sign we need to find leaders who believe in the Constitution, our motto: In God We Trust and the laws of this country. We need leaders with common sense who can admit failure and correct mistakes. We’re tired of the talk, the lectures, and the arrogance. The goals and ambitions of some elected officials are getting dangerous. Their actions are becoming more dictatorial than representative. If you don’t like it, we’ll change the laws, we’ll change the way we do things. That’s not good and not what this country is about. If these are the signs of Progressive behavior we’re in deep trouble. What’s next, Marxism? If government can takeover banks, large companies; they can try and control people. We need to put the brakes on Washington and the rest of the incompetents that are running our cities and states. We need to understand what can happen if we are controlled instead of controlling. A free nation depends on a concerned and vigilant electorate that demands representation not party loyalty. Beware, know and understand the end game and its consequences.
