At the Core of Progressivism

A strong case could be made that Progressives are the Party of Personal Irresponsibility and true Conservatives are the Party of Personal Responsibility.

Consider that Progressives, in so many ways, encourage and excuse irresponsibility and expect government and/or society to mitigate the consequences of said irresponsibility.

Let's say you were irresponsible and got pregnant. Don't worry, Progressives have so twisted the original intent of the Framers that abortion on demand became the Law of the Land. Don't even bring up forcible rape. Hedonism is the overwhelming cause of unwanted pregnancy. Forcible rape accounts for a tiny fraction of the total.

Let's say you were irresponsible and did not save for retirement (or did not build a strong multi-generational family to support you in your old age). Don't worry. Progressives enacted a social security income redistribution scheme the Framers would have found abhorrent.

Let's say you were irresponsible and cannot afford child care. Progressives want to make free child care an entitlement. I would ask, "Why did you have children you could not afford?"

Let's say you were irresponsible and cannot afford sickness care. Don't worry, Progressives in Congress with the connivance of a compromised Chief Justice enacted Obamacare to steal from the productive class and give to Big Pharma and the medical cartels.

The utopian Progressive agenda always depends on other people's money (with bureaucrats siphoning off their unfair share).

When I think of a "Progressive", I think of a cancer. Cancer is a progressive disease. Incurable cancer progresses until it kills. The incurable cancer of Progressivism will spread until it bankrupts or kills this nation.
