the whole level of [the new deal ] with fdr was to ensure never-ending strength for that democrat party by identifying it as the get together that cares even more about you and is also going to make sure you never should experience at all at any time for just about any valid reason – and persons bought it.~ rush limbaughconstitutional scholar and historian david barton appeared in recent times on the glenn beck display and urged viewers not to “fall into progressives’ traps.” barton continued: “on my property in texas i should set traps for skunks. i can only catch them if they don’t recognize my traps; therefore, don’t accept progressives’ paradigms.” barton’s comments reminded me of something rush limbaugh has been saying for years but few republicans seem to take heed – “don’t accept the premises of liberalism.”i believe that barton and limbaugh want americans to question all of what we accept as normal in modern society – from abortion, the welfare state, universal health care, medicare, medicaid, social security, food stamps, department of education, to the federal reserve, the irs, income tax, death tax, separation of church and state and thousands of other examples. these progressive policies are the results of democrats using the techniques of fabian socialism (gradualism).that said, how many times have you and i watched the state-controlled media sponsor a debate between the left and the right when any one of the progressive policies cited above is ipso facto assumed to be constitutional and viewed by both ideological sides as for your common good? the debate usually follows that the democrat wants even additional money for government programs and entitlements and the so-called republican candidate wants to tweak liberal entitlement programs (mend it, don’t end it).like any tyranny, progressivism always starts off with a pretext – here, the economic collapse of the banking industry and free market in october 1929. in the early 1930s, many people were unemployed at unprecedented numbers, starving, suffering and didn’t care about the constitution, limited government or natural law. therefore, the great depression was music to fdr and socialist democrats’ ears.for example, judge andrew napolitano wrote in his outstanding 2006 book, “the constitution in exile,” about an fdrnew deal 1934 landmark case, “home building & loan association v. blaisdell,” being responsible for multiple liberal democratic boondoggles that have plagued america to this day, including: the home mortgage collapse, destroying separation of powers and the contracts clause,
