Progressivism At Its Best

Should you care about all the Czars Obama has appointed? You should. Do you understand the Progressive Movement? You should.

Here’s a great video about the problem with the Czars, checks and balances and Progressivism.

Beck: “A shadow government is giving the Obama administration unprecedented power with virtually no oversight….

Yet, over the years, progressives on both sides of the aisle have been slowly chipping away at that fundamental idea.”

I was going to put the link to the Progressivism in the U.S. info in Wikipedia but saw that the neutrality of the information is being contested. Sad, but true.

So instead here’s some great info from R.J. Pestritto, Shipley Professor of the American Constitution at Hillsdale College. He is also the author of “American Progressivism.”

He explains a bit regarding American Progressivism.

I. Who were the Progressives, and why are they important?

II. The Progressives and their Attack on America’s Founding

III. How the Progressives Originated the Modern Presidency

IV. Progressivism and Socialism

V. Progressivism and the Current Crisis

The New Deal certainly went a long way toward implementing this progressive vision, and what we have seen in our own situation with TARP and the various other interventions is simply greater steps toward the progressive plan. Our Congress has simply said to the Treasury agencies: here’s a trillion dollars, here’s all the legal authority you need, now go out, determine what is in the public interest, and spend and regulate accordingly. That is the progressive vision of government, in a nutshell.
