Understanding Progressives

From President Teddy Roosevelt to the current Obama administration the progressive point of view has always been that there exist an intellectual hierarchy among men and that only the best and brightest should lead. This was called then and is today "elitism". That the average American does not know how to run their lives and only the elitist and government can do it. This has been called other names in the past and present known at Socialism, Communism, Fascism and Nazism. Rejected by most of the world as not workable and well known by our Founding Fathers that is the reason why they began with "We the People" and not "We the Government". However, our elitist president who has no management or executive experience and never really held a real job, believes he knows best or borrowing from a 1950's T.V. show, "Father Knows Best". But if anyone knows where their form of government they are trying to force upon us has been successful in countries over our form of government, either your are a dreamer or are as dumb as our president and his radical friends.
