PaRWRallel: Sweet Rolls and Progressivism  

Thursday, December 17, 2009

As I was driving home from the airport today, the ever-so-memorable clip from the Electric Company came to mind:

CAPTAIN: A cup of coffee and a sweet roll.

WAITRESS: We're out of sweet rolls.

CAPTAIN: A glass of milk and a sweet roll.

WAITRESS: We are out of sweet rolls.

CAPTAIN: Iced tea and a sweet roll.

WAITRESS: We are out of sweet rolls.

CAPTAIN: Orange juice and a sweet roll?

WAITRESS (Frustrated and angry): WE ARE OUT OF SWEET ROLLS!!!

CAPTAIN: Okay, then I'll just have a sweet roll.
Kind of made me think about what the US government offers us today. The conversation would probably go something like this:
GOVERNMENT: We'll give you socialist progressivism.

PEOPLE: We don't want progressivism.

GOVERNMENT: Fascist progressivism.

PEOPLE: We do not want progressivism.

GOVERNMENT: Capitalist progressivism.

PEOPLE: We do not want progressivism.

GOVERNMENT: Communist progressivism?

PEOPLE (Frustrated and angry): WE DO NOT WANT PROGRESSIVISM!!!

GOVERNMENT: Okay, then we'll just give you progressivism.
Wake up Washington, DC. We're coming for you.

We don't want it, but it works for them. It reminds me of Oprah. She made her money with good old fashion capitalism, but her message to the world is "progressivism". Of course, she wants to make damn sure that you don't succeed, that way she can keep you "down on the farm" where you are no threat to her. That is the thrust of the so-called modern "progressive" movement. The elites have been using this argument for the last fifty or so odd years, and with great success I might add. The cat is out of the bag though, and the revolution is on the front page!!!!!
