Progressive Authoritarianism

by

Hillary has often said her idol was Eleanor Roosevelt.  Here is Eleanor Roosevelt’s progressive vision for the United States, in her own words.

The only way I can see to get the maximum service out of our citizens, is to draft us all and to tell us all where we can be most useful and where our work is needed. … complying with the wishes and doing the things which those in authority thought should be done.

Hillary “Norwegian Blue” Clinton expresses the same idea, even more ambitiously: The Progressive Left will no less than “redefine what it means to be human.”

“Let us be willing to remold society by redefining what it means to be a human being in the 20th century, moving into a new millennium.”
The ultimate dream of the progressive left is a society in which “those in authority” (by which they mean, progressive leftists like themselves) get to tell everyone else what to do. They will “redefine what it means to be human” without ever explaining what was wrong with the previous definition. And those not in authority cheerfully comply.

It baffles them that we “deplorables” reject their progressive design, and resent their efforts to impose it.

  4. I don’t want a president with a “plan to transform America” or a “grand design for the new millennium” or whatever. That goes for Hillary or Trump.

    I want a president who respects natural law and the constitutiOn, who promotes prosperity at home and promotes peace abroad.

    Clinton is the antithesis of that. Trump is an unknown quantity. But if the choice were only between the two, Trump is easily the best choice.

  5. Sorry about typos it is hard to type in cell phone and i turned auto correct off as I would rather have a typo than what it was providing. The video above made me laugh as the Leftist almost had a spasm on tv when getting push back while she was trying to shut up a conservative opinion.

  6. Yeah, and

    “Every single case of inherited defect, every malformed child, every congenitally tainted human being brought into this world is of infinite importance to that poor individual; but it is of scarcely less importance to the rest of us and to all of our children who must pay in one way or another for these biological and racial mistakes.”

    and

    “The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it … If people are fit to live, let them live under decent human conditions. If they are not fit to live, kill them in a decent human way. Is it any wonder that some of us are driven to prescribe the lethal chamber as the solution for the hard cases which are at present made the excuse for dragging all the other cases down to their level, and the only solution that will create a sense of full social responsibility in modern populations?”

    So, Eleanor, if labor in the glory of the state wears us down, strip the gold from our teeth, shave off our hair, use our tattooed skin for novelty lampshades and have us feed each other to the ovens.

    And, Hillary, when you define what it means to be human, obviously you will have deal with the recalcitrant bodies who, by definition, are inhuman. What will the glorious state do with the un-remolded? Shall they be chained and trained to serve the enlightened elite?

  9. People like Eleanor and Hillary think this is a fine idea – as long as they’re the ones doing the molding, redefining, and deciding what’s best for others.

    For the deplorable “others” on the other end, though, it can really suck.

  13. Go Ask Alice?

    Alice Roosevelt, Teddy’s daughter, had a famous epigram which went: “If you can’t say something nice about someone, come sit next to me.”

    Words to live by! 🙂

  14. Uh…shouldn’t the government be providing “maximum service” to the taxpayers, and shouldn’t government employees be “complying with the wishes” of the people, not the other way around?

  17. Alice Roosevelt, Teddy’s daughter, had a famous epigram which went: “If you can’t say something nice about someone, come sit next to me.”

    As inscribed via needlepoint on a pillow which rested on her settee. Alice Roosevelt Longworth was a character and perhaps the original ‘wild child’. As her father was known to exclaim while he was in the White House, “Dammit, I can control Alice or I can run the country, but I cannot do both!”

    Speaking of words to live by, another pillow on a settee with a famous saying was hosted by another strong, powerful woman, Clare Boothe Luce: “No good deed shall go unpunished.”
