And, yes, it is indeed sad that his portrayal of America is so unflattering and true. Will we ever get back on the path of who we were meant to be? Thanks for pointing us to this great article!Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-41220229132738267952013-07-22T11:35:19.958-05:002013-07-22T11:35:19.958-05:00Ah, our wonderful progressive liberals in America....Ah, our wonderful progressive liberals in America. Don't you know that they know better than you, have purer motivation than you, and can do everything better for you? You only need to just change your mind, give in to what they want, and live the life they decide is best for you (and be ready to die when they tell you it's in society's best interest).<br /><br />Sounds awfully similar to another creed: Convert, submit, or die. Doesn't it?<br /><br />Both philosophies are antithetical to individual dignity, freedom and liberty. And to the free worship of God.<br /><br /><br /><br />I wonder how the good progressives in San Francisco and LA are rationalizing the violence and lawlessness in their dis-armed, bankrupt and morally corrupt cities now that the President has essentially green-lighted anybody who wants to "express" their anger on "Crackers" (certainly a non-racial term if you listen to their logic) who have somehow refused to bow down to tyranny? Perhaps riots and thugs are just that "little push" Ms. Rand wants.<br /><br /><br /><br />My only caution is an analogy to Newton's Third Law of Motion: for every force one body exerts on a second, there will be an equal and opposite reaction from the second back to the first. With all the pushing from the Left, they shouldn't be surprised when the Right pushes back.<br /><br /><br /><br />PS Take a look at Michael Yon's on-line magazine post from 21 July. This man had it right in Iraq and Afghanistan YEARS before our political or military leadership, and Yon always hit the mark from the first shot. It is sobering to me that he now talks about America.GreenEyedJinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00995782316684453263noreply@blogger.com
