Ten Changes for America if Progressives Steal the American Dream

Ten Changes for America if Progressives Steal the American Dream

The actual destruction of a thriving society for the sake of an ideology grounded in a elitist mindset is nightmarish. How can a leadership, which can build up human potential and restore divisions, turn instead to squelch the diversity of the people, undermine freedoms, and obliterate the good millions have gratuitously labored for? What kind of leadership mockingly and verbally belittles people of good will just because they have a differing opinion?

Mankind lives second to second in a global information system (hooked-up to computers, TV, and phones), which brings world events, monetary value stats, and celebrity hook-up reviews into our lives many times each day. The journey on this information highway gives one incredible benefits. We can tap into dozens of search engines and find exactly what we want; and maybe even who we want. Although, filtering out ads and maintaining certain levels of privacy is now unlikely to happen. Mainstream media is emotionally biased, extremely unreliable, and supports the ongoing obliteration of thoughtful rhetoric.

Journalists and celebrities tout the progressive machine more than other groups besides Washington itself. We can declare that they know not what they do because if these promoters were to understand what the road ahead looked like, they would be horrified. Only a few will be in charge of the masses, which will not be writer lap-dogs or sappy celebs. So...what will American lives actually look like if our nannies have their way in D.C.?

1.Lower Wages:

A system that has found a way to squash the entrepreneur and free market will be run by the system for the system. If there are fewer big tax payers, who will pay for salaries? Pensions? Infrastructure? D.C. does not have any money. Really... they are broke. 

                          2.  Decrease in Entertainment Choices

Lower wages will reduce the amount of money people will spend on entertainment. Food and shelter will be a number one priority for most, which will drastically reduce the amount people can spend at movies, buying games, vacationing, as well as, money spent on things like alcohol (the only plus I see thus far).

3.  A New Level of Degradation

Think people will find virtue in a progressive regime? Right now fifteen billion dollars is spent on pornography every year. Those seeking a porn fix will not have that kind of cash flow. The depressive state of most people’s lives will take on new meaning when more and more freedoms are stripped away and less privacy is given. People will grab at new ways to soothe themselves and grab at people and things in a hauntingly grotesque manner, leaving behind torn lives and abandoned families. Those who had indulged in prostitutes and pornography in its hey day, will plummet to new lows to get their ”fix”.

4.  Rejection of the Human Dignity of Each Person

A young lady being abused by her live in boyfriend or girlfriend....An elderly man needing help down the stairs...Medical attention not being given to a cancer patient or a woman in labor...Opportunities to snitch on neighbors for bread and cheeses...A young boy being sold through the black market....when will these types of scenarios bother you enough to do something about them? These cases are each a rejection of a human person and even today many of these people are not being safeguarded in our society. What will happen in a progressive future?

5.  Art Forms will be Debased

Although, this has been occurring for some time (one only has to look at google search to see the destruction of beauty), a new low will creep into society. Dingy unkept buildings, lack of electricity, loss of resourceful materials for clothing and homes, black market crime, and utilitarian sycophants will contribute little to transcend art during a progressive totalitarian state. Again, google search will give one the pics to see the new low our society has already sunk but new lows will “progress”, which only knows a dark deluded corner of taking from life and sees no need for self-giving in its most chaste form, especially if there is no immediate reward for the artist. A depressed expression may show the reality of hearts, which is, some say, art. On the contrary; art, which does not bring truth, beauty, and goodness into its equation, is not art. Be prepared for a new form of ugly.

6. Religious Freedom--Gone   

Roger Scruton claimed, "the state controls the institutions where orthodoxies arise – schools and universities – it is in effect making an establishment of religion. The religion is atheism; but an atheism pursued with a kind of vindictive vehemence that has all the marks of faith.” An individual choice of religious freedom is one in which a person can embrace any religion and practice that faith as long as it does not harm another person. Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and Judaism have coexisted for a very long time. An atheism in America is growing similar to the one Stalin and Mao established in their own countries. It will not tolerate a Jesus who promotes chastity for the sake of the common good or a Moses with Ten Commandments as a life guide to true happiness. To have an unethical greedy few in charge, a moral foundation must be eliminated. 

                                  7. Distrust Among Differing Groups

Already, our country is inundated with factions that promote lies, secrecy, and corruption: Groups like Acorn (basically dead and renamed), Planned Parenthood, NSA, IRS, Federal Banking system, Organizing for Action, EPA (watch that one), and other appointees by Obama in the administration. These groups do not want freedom to ring. Do not look for transparency. Look for scandals and people milking whatever they can from whoever they can in Washington. It will not be pretty. 

8. Confusion for the Young People

Our youth, for the most part, have not been introduced to great thinkers of the past. They know very little, if anything, about logic, rhetoric, philosophy, poetry, and literature. Young people are struggling for identity and find only a void in their search for what it means to be them. They want answers but find self-indulged parents, unable to participate in full discussions on matters dealing with feelings. We have come to a time inside time, where parents are also at a loss for identity and meaning. How are these parents able to stand strong and virtuous when they are lost themselves? The state is and will continue to take advantage of this dilemma our youth are facing by giving them a statist identity, in which, they will participate because it will give meaning to their lives. Every human person longs to be connected to something---and will at times---accept anything; no matter how hollow.

9. Progressive Elites will Continue to Compensate Themselves Exponentially 

Already we have seen federal employees (minus the military) give themselves raises, bonuses, and benefits higher than what the private sector is able to do and this rises each year. This cost goes directly to the private sector: white collar, as well as, blue collar workers. This will continue and soak up most of the monies that were intended for things like infrastructure. Self-grandeur strutting among our representatives, while the worker bees struggle will continue to grow and the abuse of power will hammer down upon those who once thought these entities were there to pay their bills and give them pleasures of endless entertainment. Disillusioned supporters will realize a little to late that their nanny cares little for their wants or needs.

                    10. Stirring the Pot

Paid grass root agitators will create a kind of chaos wherever the government deems it is needed. These types care little for the actual harm they may be doing to their own communities because they are being compensated with alcohol, jewelry, or little luxuries seldom seen anymore.  Don’t think this is a far fetched idea. Think of Acorn and more recently, the paid ladies at the Texas state capital.
