The Problem Is The Ideology: Progressive Dreams Lead To Chaos

Blue State Conservative:
Ron Nutter-
Recently I watched an interview of Glenn Loury, a black professor of economics from Brown University, done by Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institution. In it, he makes a remarkable statement quoting his friend Shelby Steele, himself a black English professor who now writes books commenting on current affairs.

Loury quotes Steele to the effect that “the problem before [blacks in America] now is not a problem of oppression. It is a problem of freedom. It is a problem of seizing opportunity, the problem of taking responsibility.”

It echoed within me as I have been thinking similar thoughts about the problem of freedom, but not of blacks as a singled-out category. Rather, the problem of freedom is one that affects us all.

It has been many years since I read John Fowles’s novel Daniel Martin. But I clearly recall that in it the protagonist, an English professor of philosophy, exchanges views with an Eastern European. The subject was “freedom.” more

  1. Wow, which Progressive are we talking? Because George Soros ideology is to destroy humanity and any free people. He’s the fucking Anti Christ. I guess we can pair down from there, but eventually the same results. Shoot them in the face.

  2. Oooh, look! Another something, something straighten my bowtie. Something, something dark side. Something, something the only thing wrong with the plan that brought us here, is the right people — people like ME! — have never been in charge.

    Oh, and:
    Let’s go Brandon!
    Epstein didn’t kill himself!
    Communists always lie! (Especially when they say the same thing I just said, before me.)
