If what's been on the news the past couple of weeks hasn't awakened you to the danger of Progressivism, then I don't know that you'll ever figure it out. Thomas Sowell, on the other hand, had this figured out 40 years ago. You should listen to him.

The wisdom that flows from this man's mind - and experience - is something we all need to hear. Repeatedly. Send this along to a friend who needs to hear. Progressives, be forewarned. Truth, evidence, and facts will require you to think. I know it's hard...

The self appointed "expert" class - or today's moral busybodies - believe you need to be protected from yourself. And of course, they're the ones to do it. Despite a century of failure of their Progressive ideas.

Too often people confuse (intentionally and sincerely) an instantaneous picture with an ongoing process. The polling companies understand this better than most. That's why they sell organizations poll after poll after poll. To keep themselves in business because ongoing processes always change. Nice business model.

Conservatives have created a "bogey man" with the term. But, it represents nothing we haven't seen for more than a century. It's a new, cute phrase that has heads spinning, but that directs attention away from the underlying evil of the Progressive religious ideology. "Woke" and "Progressive" are the same, and the horrific cultural destruction needs to be laid squarely at the feet of the Progressive movement. Unrelentingly.

The 5 seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Political... It's coming. And the biggest issue - or the one #Leftists will be shouting the loudest about? Abortion. Well, some wisdom from the words of Rush Limbaugh. Revisiting the "Caller Abortion".

It's not enough to say you're a "conservative", you have to be able to convince people of it. You have to reason. You have to understand "first principles" and frankly, most people don't do either very well. Let's go back to 1992 and hear the words of the patriarch of the Conservative movement, Rush Limbaugh, and let him teach us anew. It's not about politics, it's about principles.

The scourge of "Uglo Americans". More from the first NYT best seller (that had to frost them) by Rush Limbaugh, from 1992, The Way Things Ought To Be. Piss off a Progressive. Make them hear Rush's voice again. Through a surrogate. They've earned it.

More Rush Limbaugh. Because there's never enough tweeking of the pathetic Leftist media and their religious acoltyes in academia, politics, and popular culture. They thought they'd never hear from Rush again. Think again. More from his 1992 best seller, The Way Things Ought To Be.

More wisdom from the torchbearer of the Conservative movement, Rush Limbaugh. Why wonder what he'd think of today's world, listen to what he wrote over 30 years ago and glean from his wisdom. "The Way Things Ought To Be". His words, my voice. Progressives beware.

Since apparently, I purchased a GoPro with a "self editing" feature - where it cuts me off without notice - here's the remainder of the intro chapter of Rush Limbaugh's "The Way Things Ought To Be". We need to keep listening...

In honor. Recently, the 3rd anniversary of the death of Rush Limbaugh - the torch bearer of the Conservative movement - came and went. I was struck by how often I've heard and seen people wondering what he would think about what is happening at this point in history. I decided, maybe it's time to revisit some of what he's already said and let him speak for himself. From his first bestseller, The Way Things Ought To Be. Rough edit at the end...

More from Thomas Sowell. The "family" is an obstacle to central control by "the anointed". Oh, Progressives will throw lots of money at "families" as long as it comes with control of their actions, attitudes, and voting patterns. So, really, they are anti-family. Do what you're told and we'll keep giving you crumbs.

More from Thomas Sowell. Self appointed "elites" - Progressives - only believe facts that align with their vision. To challenge them is an affront to their religion. Correlation is not causation.

I thought I'd give Thomas Sowell a day off today. So to XTwitter we go. Just a look at some of the day's stupidity. Lesson one: When Leftists use the word "democracy" that's not what they mean. Substitute the word "oligarchy". Rule by a small group of people. That's much more accurate. Progressives only like democracy when they're in charge.

The brilliance of Thomas Sowell continues. The problem with "statistics" is not that they can be manipulated. They are fundamentally flawed. People and groups of people move into and out of designated categories constantly, making static statistics inherently inaccurate because they cannot quantify the dynamic and ever changing human family and community.

From an engineering perspective, if the foundation of a building is even an inch off, the building is compromised. No matter how impressive the subsequent stories above that are. They're useless. And dangerous. You can't salvage the building. It must be destroyed. That is the perfect illustration of the Progressive movement. It is flawed at its base, and it must be taken down. There's no one better to do that than Thomas Sowell. His wisdom, and my panache...

More brilliance from Thomas Sowell. Beware the "aha" statistics. Cherry picked items used to justify a position or challenge an opponent. In every set of statistics, there will be found some data that can at least hint of support for a viewpoint. A shaky, but common technique, that needs to be pointed out. The prevailing narrative will win out, simply by the control they wield. Dissidents need to understand this, and persevere.

The Progressive movement is an unmitigated failure. And they're taking civilizations down with them. Our only chance is to understand their unwillingness to provide evidence or facts in support of their ideas. Thomas Sowell has completely unmasked them. Some more brilliance from him today. Do not ignore him anymore.

You cannot win an argument with a Progressive. Their blind faith in their "religion" and their belief in their "moral superiority" mean there is only one option for their ideological opponents. Progressives need to be defeated. Politically. Ideologically. In every way. A little leaven, leavens the whole lump...

Aptly put by Thomas Sowell, in the battle for ideas, there is an "asymmetry in arguments", which most Conservatives, Republicans, etc. don't seem to grasp. And that's a fatal flaw that will lead to cultural and ideological destruction.

Yes, I'm really smart. Certainly smarter than 99.76% of Progressives, but, the main reason why is because I "harvest" wisdom from the ages and the sages instead of typical modern naval gazing. I'm not enamored by my own wisdom, I'm amazed by the collected wisdom of history. This is why Progressives and their policies will always fail. But they'll never admit it, and they will fight tooth and nail denying it.

STOP calling them "elites". You know, the ones with letters after their names, who pay for a piece of paper from a "prestigious" institution, the ones wearing white coats. They're not elite. They're self appointed elites. And it's time we call them out on it. Here's someone who's been doing it for 50 years.

Put your money where your mouth is. Are you a part of the crowd that's trying to get what you can from the government feeding trough? You might want to reconsider that, to avoid apparent hypocrisy. Plus, like piglets scrambling around to find an empty tit on their sow, you might get hurt in the melee...

We don't need politicians "working harder for us". That's idiocy. Where is there a track record of that being a good idea? We want politicians to take loads of vacation days!
