Are American Progressives Secretly in Charge of Racism, Oppression?

Look at any mercator map projection of the globe and you’ll find that the farthest east and right are exactly the same places as the farthest west and left.  Just lift up the flat map to form a cylinder.  The same dynamic is true in politics: extremists occupy the same ground.

      It was bound to happen that the Far Left would pick up the baton of racism and oppression.  But this can only work if you stay a few steps ahead of popular understanding, the awareness level of those whose very consciousness comes through watching television.

     It’s now no longer the guy who shouts the N-word in the streets who’s the real racist, but the one who poses as the friend and benefactor.  Orwell would have understood.  Obama understands.  In the moral mercator world, progressives have reached the extreme.

        For example, feminists have now actually “liberated” men who worked themselves to death in dark factories and gruesome military combat.  Let women leave their sheltered homes to enter the thankless fray, but make them believe otherwise or they wouldn’t do it.

     Similarly, take advantage of less educated minorities to get them to vote as a bloc–always for those who will keep them at the social bottom–under government and union control, securely dependent as welfare recipients.   Keep the supply of drugs and Third World habits and prejudices flowing in to American society to put the brakes on getting ahead.

     Progressives make sure that assimilation never becomes the rallying cry of minorities.  Rather, encourage segregation by keeping the dependent bottled up in barrios, ghettoes, and reservations.  Give them just enough “comfort” Twinkies and “hope” to keep them happy.  Too bad that Romney had to blow the whistle and expose how the “47%” strategy really works.

      In his recent article “How Liberals Screw the 47 Percent,” Christopher Chantril suggests that progressives know full well what is a stake for the unwitting:

     The message is simple.  Earn $3,600 per year as head of a family of three, and your net earnings (after taxes and government benefits) will amount to $31,630.  But if you earn $60,000 a year, your net earnings will be $34,366.  In other words, if you work your tail off and increase your earnings by $56,400, you will be only $2,736 ahead in take-home pay.  The reason is that your government benefits will be cranked down from $30,762 a year to zero, and your taxes (including child care) will crank up from $2,787 a year to $25,634.  Talk about chump change.

     Are liberals the new custodians of racism and oppression?  The answer is Yes, according to Chantril, but it’s important that minorities and single moms don’t find out:

     Now, I am not accusing our liberal friends of deliberately setting up a killing ground for the 47 percent or even something as mild as a trap for welfare Heffalumps.  Not at all.  Few liberals understand marginal economics and marginal tax rates  for all the time they spend consulting their various Science Tuesdays and Science Fridays.

     But I am suggesting that liberals have over the years instinctively learned, with what Michael Polanyi called “tacit knowledge,” how to build a welfare state that imprisons 47 percent of Americans or more under the bureaucratic domination of the administrative welfare state and that keeps that 47 percent voting Democratic.

      And I demand to know how much longer liberals propose to continue oppressing the 47 percent with this monstrous, unjust, cruel system that subjects so many Americans to a life of breaking rocks on the road to serfdom.
