The belief that the world is marching towards justice, that progressives are \u201con the right side of history\u201d is a delusion that will justify any atrocity and already has.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThat is why today\u2019s progressives are advancing the same genocidal agendas that the West defeated in World War II and the Cold War. Led by the 98-member \u201cProgressive Caucus\u201d in Congress, and its racist leaders &#8211; Jamila Prayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, AOC and Ayanna Presley &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverthenetworks.org\/individuals\/pramila-jayapal\">progressives are in full-throated support<\/a> of the 75-year genocidal campaign conducted by the terrorist dictatorships in Gaza and the West Bank. The stated goal of Hamas and the Palestine Authority is the destruction of the Jewish state and the expulsion of its Jews. Even Hitler hid his plans for the Final Solution. But Hamas, the PLO and the Iranian <em>mullahs<\/em> trumpet their goal of ethnically cleansing a conquered Israel and rendering it <em>Judenrein<\/em> \u2013 Jew free. Nor is the hatred of these neo-Nazis confined to the Jews. \u201cDeath to America\u201d is the preferred chant of their Iranian missile providers as well.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOn a less apocalyptic level, the criminal nature of the progressive mentality should be obvious to anyone who takes the time to look at their domestic legislative agenda. Virtually every progressive proposal, from the moratorium on rent payments to cancelling student debts to handing out other people\u2019s money to their favored constituents for doing nothing is an eloquent expression of the fact that socialism is theft.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tStudent loans guaranteed by the federal government were a progressive legislative achievement. They led directly to a rampant inflation of student fees as university administrators raised tuition rates because they could. These student \u201cvictims,\u201d championed by progressives, weren\u2019t forced to take loans, nor did anyone twist their arms to spend the money on frivolous courses in woke agendas which would probably not lead to paying jobs that would allow them to honor their debts. Consequently, now that the program is a burden on those who took advantage of it, the progressive solution is to make the taxpayers \u2013 including students who paid their debts &#8211; foot the bill for those who couldn\u2019t be bothered to. Theft. \u201cSocial justice\u201d is invariably a scheme to reward one\u2019s political friends and punish one\u2019s enemies. It\u2019s basically a Ponzi scheme that works until you run out of other people\u2019s money, as Margaret Thatcher once observed. In the vast library of socialist books, there\u2019s not a single volume on how to create wealth, only how to take and \u201credistribute\u201d it.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAfter the Confederate secession and the Civil war that followed, the greatest crime Americans committed against other Americans is the calculated destruction of America\u2019s border by progressive transformers. According to current estimates, this atrocity has led to a situation in which America is now being invaded at the rate of 5 million anonymous illegals, coming from 150 countries, per year. The new population of unidentified non-citizens includes more than 100,000 violent criminals (measured by past records), terrorists, sex traffickers, and peddlers of the drug fentanyl, which has killed 100,000 Americans in the last year, many of them youth. An estimated 10% to 20% of the illegals are Covid &#8211; 19 carriers, which computes to anywhere between 500,000 and one million annually.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Biden administration is fully aware that what it is doing is illegal &#8211; criminal.\u00a0 Otherwise, why fly the undocumented \u201cmigrants\u201d to destinations across the country in the dark of night? Why conceal their destinations? Needless to say, taxing Americans to fund a secretive mass breaking of American law is another form of theft \u2013 one that characteristically expresses radicals\u2019 contempt for their fellow citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe obvious goals of this progressive assault on American sovereignty are two-fold: 1) the transformation of the electorate to benefit progressives; and 2) the dilution of America\u2019s unique culture, since illegal immigration circumvents the processes of citizenship, which are traditionally an introduction to American values, along with a oath to defend them.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe assault on America\u2019s borders began in earnest with the 2004 creation of law-breaking \u201cSanctuary Cities.\u201d These cities suspended the application of immigration laws blocking immigration officials from doing their jobs. The Sanctuary Cities campaign was, in fact, a criminal attack on America\u2019s immigration laws, which were federal in nature and therefore could not be altered by municipal authorities. The illegal actions succeeded because of the support of Democrat elected officials. If ever there was a case of sedition, this was it. The Sanctuary movement was invention of ACLU radicals, and was explicitly designed to sabotage the Patriot Act that Congress had passed to protect Americans after the 9\/11 terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe border assault escalated with the presidency of America\u2019s first commander-in-chief raised by Communists &#8211; Barack Obama. <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2011\/10\/fundamentally-transforming-the-united-states-of-america.html\">In 2012 Obama warned<\/a> on the eve of his re-election that \u201cwe are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.\u201d In order to accomplish any \u201cfundamental transformation,\u201d Obama needed, of course, to break the law \u2013 actually many laws \u2013 including their foundation in the U.S. Constitution. In TV appearances he attempted to explain the limits to his constitutional powers to his progressive followers who couldn\u2019t have cared less about them. They wanted Obama to violate the Constitution and by executive fiat to admit 800,000 illegals who as children had been smuggled into the country by their parents and were now adults.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSo great was the pressure from radicals to break the law that Obama publicly explained to them in television appearances at least twenty-two times that the Constitution and subsequent statutory law prohibited him from declaring a general amnesty for people illegally residing in the United States. In fact, the prosperous, opportunity-rich country these illegal immigrants coveted was actually created by such constitutional limits to government authority.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cAmerica is a nation of laws,\u201d Obama explained on one occasion, \u201cwhich means I, as the President, am obligated to enforce the law. I don\u2019t have a choice about that\u2026. With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that\u2019s just not the case, because they are laws on the books that Congress has passed \u2026.\u201d On another occasion he reminded people, \u201cI swore an oath to uphold the laws on the books \u2026.\u201d And on yet another, he said: \u201cNow, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you\u2026. But that\u2019s not how our system works. That\u2019s not how our democracy functions. That\u2019s not how our Constitution is written.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhen defending the American system suited his ends, Obama was a shrewd enough politician to understand its rationale and functions. But he himself was a born and bred radical. As a radical Obama didn\u2019t believe in the system itself, or the constitutional restraints the founders had created. For the same reason, his civics lectures fell on deaf ears.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOn June 15, 2012 Obama did what he had repeatedly said the law and the Constitution barred him from doing. He issued an \u201cexecutive branch memorandum\u201d called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals \u2013 DACA. This unilateral executive action provided a provisional amnesty for the 800,000 youth who had entered the United States illegally as minors, and were still under the age of 31 as of that date. DACA allowed these individuals to gain temporary legal status, work permits,\u00a0access\u00a0to publicly funded social services, and protection from deportation. All of which were un-constitutional and illegal.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTwo years later, having witnessed scant resistance from Republicans, and gotten away with his brazen action, Obama decided to expand the scope of his crime. He undertook a second executive action, this time granting provisional amnesty to 4 million illegal aliens under the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program &#8211; an expansion of DACA.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThat opened the floodgates to the destructive invasion of the country we are witnessing today, although to achieve its true fruition it had to wait several years until Joe Biden destroyed America\u2019s borders on the first day of his presidency, and invited all of South America and even unaccompanied minors to enter America anonymously. In practice, the invitation extended to the entire world. In this way America was fundamentally and illegally and unconstitutionally transformed by a party that was now completely dominated by progressive criminals.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>David Horowitz is the founder of the Freedom Center and the author of many books, including <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/horowitzfreedomcenterstore.org\/collections\/books\/products\/the-enemy-within-how-a-totalitarian-movement-is-destroying-america\">The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian Movement is Destroying America<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding the Progressive Mind II.[Order David Horowitz&#8217;s new book &#8212; I Can&#8217;t Breathe: How a Racial Hoax Is Killing America: HERE.] In a previous article, I explained that \u201cprogressivism is<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":498,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1426553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1426553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1426553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1426553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1426553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1426553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1426553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
