The Permanent Revolution

by digby

I have a new post over at CAF today discussing why the Republicans are so willing to jump off the cliff with their dangerously unpopular president. Hint: they win even when they lose.

And here’s a little something I found over at the Leadership Institute website, where they train all those fresh faced conservatives we see cheering Ann Coulter at the CPAC convention every year. Did you know that liberals and progressives are all socialists?

We are:

What Socialists Really Think About Economics

* Profit Comes From Evil Greed

* Socialists must get all your property

* Tax all income at 100%

* Support big government. No new tax cuts.

* Only government creates wealth

* Bureaucrats spend your money better than you do

* To elect more socialists, destroy the economy

* Government jobs good; private employers bad

* “Something for nothing” fools almost everyone

* Why work when you can loot those who do?

* Socialism has never been tried

What Socialists Really Think About Your Family And Our American Culture

* Traditional morality is always bad

* Do what feels good now. Make taxpayers pay the bill

* Break all family ties

* Make God illegal

* Masculine is bad; feminine is also bad

* Kill it. Why give your baby to a moral couple?

What Socialists Really Think About Liberty

* Solve all problems. Give the Left all power.

* Stamp out liberty. It’s unfair.

* Everything not compulsory must be prohibited

* Re-write history or stop teaching it

* Keep campuses conservative-free zones

* In the media, any conservatives are too many

* No free speech for conservatives

* Only groups have rights

* Give up your guns. We want you defenseless.

* Pay the union boss or we’ll crack your skull

* Save the environment. Kill off all the people.

* Destroy all non-government education

* Teachers unions — more important than teaching kids

* When judges give us what we want, forget the laws and the Constitution

What Socialists Really Think About The Future Of America In The World

* America causes all world problems

* Eliminate patriotism

* Bring on world government

* Next time, Marxist-Leninists will get it right

They sure have our number, don’t they?
