John Dewey: Father of the Progressive Movement

“If you were ‘educated’in a big-city public school, an Ivy League University, or, for that matter, even a state college — thanks to John Dewey and his faithful “progressive” disciples such as Harold Rugg, William H. Kilpatrick and George S. Counts, to name just a few; I do not expect you to get the drift of this piece. You have been desensitized.”

Overview of Progressive Education

Progressive vs. Traditional Education

THURSDAY, 16 SEPTEMBER 2010 Progressive Education in the 1940s

As social conservatives, we are ecstatic about the growth and influence of the Tea Party movement. Many of us felt like we were tolerated and courted by the establishment GOP but never truly belonged. Now, we have arrived. (speaker at 10/2 event)

One Nation: Proud Socialists on the March in D.C.

Attendee: I’m out here because I believe that this is a very important rally. October 2nd is all about November 2nd. It’s about getting the progressive movement fired up in a very tough time in America after we’ve seen some pretty tough things happen to us legislatively. We’ve made some progress but the obstruction has been the obstruction against the progressive agenda in this country.

satellite pics show socialistic and Marxist rally is the minority. Let’s go with restoring America not breaking it down.

10/2 attendees lecture about environment and leave trash behind? How is that affecting the planet?

GLOVER: and we see an annihilation is happening before our very eyes, the animals and plants that we once saw are no longer there. We cannot be a part that have species annihilation.

Population control? Is this a view we want in America?

Aborting or smothering a child with a pillow, either way, good action? Miss Ironside would say yes. This is a progressive thought reflected in George Bernard Shaw’s view point.

Minutes earlier the controversial writer said ‘a loving mother’ would abort an unwanted or disabled baby, and praised abortion as ‘a moral and unselfish act’.

Miss Ironside said:”If a baby’s going to be born severely disabled or totally unwanted, surely an abortion is the act of a loving mother.”

She added: “If I were the mother of a suffering child – I mean a deeply suffering child – I would be the first to want to put a pillow over its face… If it was a child I really loved, who was in agony, I think any good mother would.”

George Bernard Shaw, probably the most famous Fabian socialist, or what we would call a progressive here in America. See if smothering a child with a pillow or aborting or putting the elderly or disabled out to pass is reflected in Shaw’s words.

SHAW: You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world, who are more trouble than they are worth. Just put them there and say Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? If you can’t justify your existence, if you’re not pulling your weight, and since you won’t, if you’re not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more, then, clearly, we cannot use the organizations of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.

Interestingly, Hillary Clinton says I’m an early 20th century American progressive. That’s who George Bernard Shaw was hanging out with and they had the same elitist kind of ideas. It is where it is where the idea of eugenics, breed the perfect race, breed a better voter. So, here’s the Fabian socialists, their plan.

No. 1, a strong, centralized government. Do you agree with that?

No. 2, a powerful executive at the expense of Congress and the judicial.

No. 3, government controlled banking, credit, and securities exchange. Do you agree with these so far? How many ask if you agree with them and then ask how many have been done.

No. 4, government control over employment.

No. 5, unemployment insurance and old age pensions.

No. 6, universal medical care, food, and universal housing programs.

***side note: By the way, did I tell you in an unrelated move that Fannie and Freddie, the government, will be underwriting 98% of all loans this year and they’re about to stop all foreclosures. Anyway, I don’t know what the universal housing program here in the Fabian socialist.

No. 7, access to unlimited government borrowing. No. 8, a managed monetary system.

No. 9, government control over foreign aid. No. 10, government control over all natural energy sources, transportation, and agricultural production.

No. 11, government regulation of labor.

No. 12 I find this one fascinating youth camps devoted to health discipline, community service, and idealogical teaching consistent with those of the authorities.

May want to think about who surrounds our president, like Andy Stern (Workers of the World Unite),  Richard Trumpka (Organized Labor Union), George Soros (Center For American Progress), John Podesta (Center for American Progress), Saul Alinsky ( Community Organizer),

*** Big Labor has figured it out: He was talking about we should have 15 to 24 year olds do community service and we could pay them for it and we’ll create a million and a half jobs overnight.

No. 13, heavy progressive taxation.

What do they all have in common? Fabian Socialism?

The American Progressive Movement is underway..Make your vote count this November!
