This is the most righteous condemnation of the Progressive Agenda I've ever seen

TJIC muses about the Progressive State as implemented by Obama/Pelosi/Reid, and ponders real transformative change.  It's ain't pretty:

I think that in the US today we are seeing, not true “total” totalitarianism, but an attitude, at the very least, that says that contracts need not be honored (Obama’s “clawback” of previously contracted-for and delivered bonuses in the financial sector), that bondholders can be stolen from and their assets handed to politically connected unions (the utter BS and illegal bankruptcy restructuring of GM), that certain politically connected groups will get $0 down, sub-market rate mortgages, that certain people will get bailed out.

The Democrats policies are going beyond merely having a “progressive” taxation system, where some people pay not just a bit more, but a LOT more than others.

Recent Democratic policies have decoupled the idea of work, deferred gratification, and patience from expectations of results.
They’ve introduced arbitrary and capricious chance and rule-of-man shenanigans where people expected rule of law.
This is a long post, but if we take all those Progressive Global Warming alarmists at their word, and apply the "Precautionary Principle" and look for "tipping points", there's a whole world of ugly here.

This is a long post (for TJIC), and worth every minute.  Especially if you combine it with Joe Huffman's "Jews In The Attic" analysis.
