Assault on Liberty

There are four articles that detail the assault on liberty. These came out on July 1st and 2nd. Analyzed together they show the breadth of the progressive movement and how organized and infiltrated they are in the top decision makers of government.

First, "Walmart CEO Pay: More in an Hour Than Workers Get All Year?" ABC News
http://abcnews.go.com/Business/walmart-ceo-pay-hour-workers-year/story?id=11067470
This article is about the debate over a new Walmart store in the Chicago area that was approved, but labor union leaders wanted the ununionized Walmart to pay more and provide better benefits. This is organized unions trying to take liberty to run a business. Assault on the Free Market.

Second, "Chicago Approves Tough New Handgun Restrictions" FOX News
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/07/02/chicago-approves-tough-new-handgun-restrictions/
This article is about Chicago city restricting peoples second amendment rights to bear arms and defend themselves, limiting gun owners to carrying a gun only within their home. Crime rates will predictably rise, especially gun violence. This is a violation of the Second Amendment of the Constitution. Assault on the right to bear and keep arms.

Third, "House Democrats 'Deem' Faux $1.1 Trillion Budget 'as Passed'" Human Events
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=37893
This article is about the Democrat leadership using parliamentarian tricks of "Deemed Passed" on a budget that has not even been presented. This is a move that undermines transparency, is dishonest, and avoids debate that will likely harm Democrats in this falls elections. This is corruption and recklessness by the Democrat leaders. Assault on our system of representation and responsible government as established by the Constitution.

Fourth, "Pelosi: Unemployment Checks Fastest Way to Create Jobs", FOX News
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/01/pelosi-unemployment-checks-best-way-create-jobs/%20/
This article is about the false policies of socialism and backwards logic of social programs of welfare. Speaker Nancy Pelosi claims that unemployment benefits should be extended, seemingly indefinitely, to create jobs. This is ridiculous. This is a lie. Assault on common sense and other founding American values.

It was overwhelming to read one article after another all from one day. It is amazing that these are mainstream ideas. Isn't this why we had a revolution, established a Constitution, and fought many other wars, including the Cold War. I believe Americans are not like this. The mainstream media and many politicians are out of touch with American values. We are not Progressives; we do not want socialism.

These articles when looked at all at once demonstrate that the progressive movement has hijacked the Democrat party and parts of the Republican party. Progressives want to destroy the capitalist system that made this country the world economic leader. Progressives want to shred the Constitution and establish Socialism. Socialism does not guarantee citizen freedoms and rights, or protect the people from a tyrannical government. Progressives lead the unions, both houses of Congress and the White House Administration. They must be voted out ASAP.
