SPECIAL POST - READ THESE NOW
When Good People Do Bad Things http://townhall.com/columnists/DennisPrager/2010/06/15/when_good_people_do_bad_things?page=full
Remember, they MEAN WELL. They have GOOD INTENTIONS. Then read this:
Utopia: The End of Men, Sweden, and the Progressive Endgame http://www.redstate.com/thesophist/2010/06/13/utopia-the-end-of-men-sweden-and-the-progressive-endgame/
There are any number of thoughts in this, but pay attention to these two quotes:
First one:
As Lenin's vision of a communist revolution depended upon intellectuals who would educate the proletarian workers as to their true interests, ultimately becoming the political system of Party insiders and everyone else so richly mocked by Animal Farm, so does modern Progressivism rely upon and ultimately become a game of noblesse oblige wherein the enlightened leadership has to go ahead of the ignorant public.
Just listen to Kerry, Gore, Obama, et al talking about cap-and-trade, or the VAT, or health care. We proles can't be trusted to make the "right" choices, so they will force us. At first, through recommendations, then regulations, then by outright law they will MAKE US obey for our own good - as determined by them.
Second quote:
Furthermore, the Progressive vision is less concerned about individual free will and far more interested in society as a whole.
Communism. Fascism. All these have one central element: the individual serves the state, not the other way around.
As the Obamunists prepare to enslave, er, regulate us for our own good, because of their intellectually-fueled beneficence, remember this one last quote from CS Lewis:
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

IMMIGRATION
American Lives Sacrificed for an Immigration Agenda
http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/06/09/american-lives-sacrificed-for-an-immigration-agenda/
+Liberals will "get it" on immigration only when immigrants stop doing their grub-chores and start "doing" their daughters; when the machetes stop chopping lettuce and start chopping hands; when the influx of people with no interest in assimilation turn their neighborhoods into minuature versions of the countries they escaped, THEN the left will comprehend - when they have to pay a personal price. Not before.

Every society breeds people who refuse to see anti-civilization for what it is, rendering it invisible because it exists beyond the limits of their imaginations... Worst of all, every civilization produces those who eagerly cooperate in the task of burning them to the ground, with plans for rebuilding from the ashes tucked into their back pockets."

They assume their defenses are unnecessary if not destabilizing, and take away from more needed social services and income redistribution. Deterrence and preparedness are assumed in turn the stone-age tools of unsophisticated mind. The peace that follows from past victories and postwar deterrence is considered artificial, and can instead grow far more organically from professed good intentions and signs of magnanimity, if not apology. Philosopher kings assure the world of a new age to come, one in which a new human nature replaces the old Neanderthal pessimism." Hmm, sounds awwwwfully familiar!
