Progressive ‘Values’ and Election 2016

“One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived." —Italian statesman and political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527)

How many people get disturbingly upset when a progressive, whether Democrat or RINO, flippantly uses the word "values,” knowing that words are intentionally used to fool and dupe voters who do not have ears to hear? Progressives actually utilize this tyrannical Alinsky-rule of rhetoric as “progressive gospel,” to deceive the targets of their deception, lulling them into a false sense of taking care of them, if they vote for the tyrant.

If confronted to provide their progressive definition of “values,” what you will hear will have nothing to do with “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” the basis for how “Rights” are to be “entitled” as directed by the America’s Founding Document, the Declaration of Independence. When a progressive uses the word “values,” you will discern it is actually progressive political correctness, undermining the very Biblical moral virtue upon which America was founded.

Consider progressive “values” in lieu of abortion, “special” LBGT “rights,” or the socialistic “spreading of wealth.” Consider how those who preach progressive “values” are responsible for the assaults against religious freedom and liberty, creating inequality by tyrannically imposing fines and/or jail time for photographers, bakers, wedding hosts, and more. Again, what is the liberal progressive basis for how they determine their “values?” How do progressives justify putting women and children at risk by promoting LGBT “rights” that violate basic wholesome culture with “gender-neutral entitlements” like the “bathroom bill?”

The progressive disdain for Biblical moral virtue is also evident in their hypocritical double standards, which are seductive, manipulative, and purposely biased by their impositions of selective justice, selective tolerance, selective diversity, selective discrimination, selective science, selective free speech, selective mandates, selective ethics, selective history, selective fairness, selective hate crimes, and selective “rights.”

2 Thessalonians 2:7-9: “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

“How strangely will the tools of a tyrant pervert the plain meaning of words!” —Samuel Adams, to John Pitts, 1776

“Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society."  —John Adams Letter to J.H. Tiffany (31 March 1819)

"We are apt to be deluded into false security by political catch-words, devised to flatter rather than instruct." —President James A. Garfield

"Political correctness does not legislate tolerance; it only organizes hatred.” —Jacques Barzun

George Orwell wrote two books, “Animal Farm in 1945 and "1984” in 1949, in which he predicted the future of society with remarkable prescience: Many of his observations can easily be applied to the political situation in America today. In “1984,” Big Brother’s NewSpeak uses ordinary words to mean different things at different times. The objective is to confuse his subjects. Any thought or action becomes potentially treasonous or criminal, paralyzing those who might wish to defend their liberties.

Progressive “values” based on emotions and the unattainable dream of a Utopian god of government is an unattainable agenda being propagandized by the indoctrination of rewriting and the ignorance of history. Another ploy is distorting or purposely omitting facts to advance government tyranny. For example, the global warming hoax resulting in closing coal mines under false eco-science, causing undue unemployment, tyrannical take-over of land and property, no-choice light bulbs, windmills killing birds and whales, and more. The desired results undermine sound judgement and logic and subsequently, the further destruction of the Republic, leading to Marxism and dismantling and corrupting the very premise of the Bill of Rights.

Considering our descendants, will Election 2016 voters be responsible for continuing to “fundamentally transform America” from a Republic into a Marxist state by electing candidates who maliciously expound progressive “values” or will voters be responsible in beginning to restore the Republic and preserving the Bill of Rights by electing a strict Constitutionalist with Biblical moral virtue?
