THE "LIVING CONSTITUTION", "EVOLVING POSITIONS", AND PROGRESSIVISM

1 - "THE LIVING CONSTITUTION":

LEFTISTS ARGUE THAT WE HAVE A LIVING CONSTITUTION SO THAT THEY CAN CHANGE ANYTHING THEY DON'T LIKE BY JUDICIAL FIAT.

(WHEN IT COMES TO DECISION THEY LIKE, THEY OF COURSE ARGUE THAT IT IS "ESTABLISHED LAW" ESSENTIALLY IRREVERSIBLY WRITTEN IN STONE.)

2 - EVOLUTION:

LEFTISTS HAVE FREQUENTLY TAKEN MODERATE OR CENTRIST OR EVEN CONSERVATIVE POSITIONS ON VARIOUS ISSUES BEFORE AN ELECTION ONLY TO TOE THE LEFTIST PARTY LINE AFTER THE ELECTION - AND EXCUSE IT BY SAYING THEIR POSITION "EVOLVED".

SOMETIMES THEIR POSITIONS "EVOLVE" JUST BEFORE AN ELECTION IF THE "EVOLUTION" CAN GAIN THEM A KEY SEGMENT OF THE ELECTORATE.

3 - PROGRESSIVISM:

LEFTISTS LIKE TO BE CALLED "PROGRESSIVES" AS IF WHAT THEY SUPPORTED WAS PROGRESS.

BUT SUPPORTING BIGGER GOVERNMENT AND MORE TAXES AND MORE REGULATIONS REDUCES LIBERTY AND PROSPERITY AN THAT ACTUALLY IS REGRESSIVE.

IT IS ALSO ACTUALLY REGRESSIVE TO SEEK TO DEMOLISH THE TRADITIONAL INSTITUTIONS WHICH HAVE SERVED HUMANITY SO WELL: THE FAMILY, THE CHURCH AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS AND MORES OF JUDEO-CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION.

THESE THREE ASPECTS OF LEFTISM ARE REALLY SOPHISTICATED AMORAL RHETORICAL TRICKS INTENDED TO MAKE IT APPEAR THAT THE LEFT HAS A STABLE, CONSISTENT MORALLY CENTERED CORE AND A RIGHT O THE MORAL HIGH GROUND.

IN FACT, BASED ON THIS SIMPLE INSPECTION THEY ARE NOW SHOWN TO BE HYPOCRITICAL AND AMORAL.

THE ONLY TRUE CORE VALUE THE LEFT HAS IS THIS:

SERVE THE MACHINE.

IF YOU SERVE THE MACHINE, THEN THE MACHINE WILL REWARD YOU WITH GOODIES.

LIKE THE CARTOON SAID:

"VOTE FOR ME AND I WILL TAKE STUFF FROM THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T VOTE FOR ME AND GIVE IT TO YOU."

AND IF DOLING OUT THE GOODIES TO SEGMENTS OF THE MACHINE VIOLATES A PREVIOUSLY ARTICULATED PRINCIPLE: SO WHAT; "IT'S FOR THE COMMON GOOD!"

THIS AMOUNTS TO LOOTING, LYING AN LIBERTINAGE.

IT REDUCES LIBERTY AND PROSPERITY AND ALWAYS LEADS TO SERFDOM.

DON'T LET ANYONE YOU KNOW BE DUPED.
