Progressives Defend Each Other
Nov1As Scozzafava bows out and leaves Hoffman and Owens in the race its becoming more apparent that Progressives, whether they are Blue or Red are more and more worried. Over the next few days we will see them begin the tired rhetoric of trying to attach Hoffman to bias, dirty tricks, and a group of upstart outsiders that just flew right in to New York’s 23rd District. Of course the natural thing would be to defend Hoffman. Perhaps mention how even Progressives have done the same thing? Yet that would just fuel the beast and serve no purpose other then to point fingers. So let’s just call a spade a spade and all understand that the tactics being utilized are those mined by the Progressives during Obama’s Presidential run. For the most part they are not wrong. Utilizing the Internet and getting citizens engaged is at the very much the foundation of our politics. How is this wrong? We should not allow our process to be dominated by an oligarchical structure that relies more on money and prominence of a corporate political machine then on citizens. Consider this. Why is it relevant that other citizens come to a district to help a candidate? In the first, as I have mentioned, Progressives take a national and even a world view then its time conservatives and liberty minded folks do as well. Fair is fair after all. In the second, even though “strangers” come to a district to help out this does not mean the citizens of that district are coerced into voting another way or that these outsiders are voting at all.
Yet let us not overlook something. Even as Progressives attempt to isolate Hoffman and his widely popular conservative views, they are pointing out the fact that Progressives are not the majority they claim they are and perhaps not in the right after all. Since assuming the majority they have assumed a moral right to what they think is correct. This has been a foundation of Pelosi and her ilk’s presumed authority. Why else would they and Obama cut any other voice out of the American political process? This is exactly what happened to the GOP under Bush. They assumed that since they were elected again that they had the moral right to do what they were doing. The country responded by electing Obama. Sadly I think we reacted to rashly, yet what choice did we have? I will admit that we did not have much, if any at all. It is time to understand that we do not need one two political parties, but we are so far down the corporate political road I am not sure how we get back. Still it should be abundantly clear that we can vote for whomever we want if we can support him/her. Hoffman shows this and its becoming increasing clear to others
Over the course of the next few hours leading until the ballot casting in NY23, Progressives will isolate, divide, and turn you into something you are not. Time and time again they fail to understand the nature of our rights and liberty, that somehow, as plain citizens we understand as a matter of fact. One where our liberties are non-negotiable. Progressives would have you give up your rights for a group of citizens.
In other words Pelosi and her Progressives would have you enslaved for others to be free.
