Hypocrisy Knows no Bounds

In the last two posts I tried to frame the left wing philosophy known as secular progressivism. Now it's time to begin to meet the players. I say begin because it's a tangled web and a great deal of them are cloaked and try to run under the radar. No ideology would get off the ground without a guiding philosopher. Communism had Karl Marks, American had Thomas Jefferson, and the modern day secular progressive guru is George Lakoff.

Laykoff is a professor at University of California, Irvine campus, where he teaches in Cognitive Science and Linguistics.
In recent years, Lakoff has become involved with a progressive think tank, the Rockridge Institute, an involvement that follows in part from his recommendations in Moral Politics. Among his activities with the Institute, which concentrates in part on helping liberal candidates and politicians with re-framing political metaphors, Lakoff has given numerous public lectures and written accounts of his message from Moral Politics. In 2008, Lakoff joined Fenton Communications, the nation's largest public interest communications firm, as a Senior Consultant.

One of his political works, Don't Think of an Elephant! Know Your Values and Frame the Debate, self-labeled as "the Essential Guide for Progressives", was published in September 2004 and features a foreword by former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean. Scary how close he came to the White House, huh?

In this book he defines his philosophy by stating if you work hard and play by the rules the nation OWES you a decent standard of living. He believes in a centralized government that decides what's in the public's best interest. Consider reading this book to understand the ideology America is fighting.

No movement would get anywhere without finances. Professor Lakoff would be a giant bag of wind without financial support, enter George Soros. George is one of the top 30 richest men in the world, estimated wealth about 8 billion dollars, and uses his wealth to finance the secular progressive movement. Born George Schwartz in Hungary, it's interesting he survived Nazi occupation then migrated here to promote the same cause reframed. He had a brief stopover in England to be educated at the London School of Economics, then became rich in America starting an investment fund that skyrocketed. He donates hundreds of millions of dollars to left wing Internet sites devoted to smear campaigns attacking conservative's. He spent 24 million dollars in 2004 attempting to stop George Bush from being reelected, and publicly announce if anyone could guarantee Bush's failure he would give them his fortune. Now that's scary!

His hypocrisy knows no bounds! While insisting the wealthy provide through taxation- government entitlements to citizens, to make society financially equal. He maintains his Quantum Investment Fund from the Dutch Island of Curasal where his profits are untaxable by the nation that provides him the opportunity to be wealthy. He also hides his income from a lucrative real estate investment operation in Bermuda, again untaxable. He's been convicted and fined for insider trading, and his business dealings are described as toying on the edge of legal.

He uses his influence to attract other wealth to his cause. The most notable is billionaire Peter Lewis, (get this), who is the chairman of ....The PROGRESSIVE Insurance Company. Interesting name huh? I'm glad my money goes to State Farm and I hope it's not being funneled to undermine our nation's principles!

How does this all tie into our government? Oh, there is plenty more to follow! Stay tuned as I untangle this web of corruption and deceit.

God Bless
