It is one of the great mysteries that, for progressives, also called liberals, the past provides no lessons, no warnings that would prevent them from repeating their errors.
Progressives are always focused on a magical future in which there will be no wars, no hunger, no poverty.
Their belief in the redistribution of wealth—communism—is, in Winston Churchill’s words, “the equal sharing of misery.”

Obamacare is a perfect example of the progressive inability to accept that socialism and/or communism simply does not work.
It depends on coercion and in the case of communism it left hundreds of millions dead in its wake over the course of the last century.
Obamacare depends on (1) the belief that human nature will change—which it will not—and (2) the lies to implement it.

......As I listened to and read about the Obamacare roll-out, I was reminded of an earlier program that was adopted, Prohibition. It involved a nationwide ban on the sale, production, importation, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. It was the law of the land from 1920 until 1933. When it went into effect it was hailed as a victory for public morals and health. By the time it was repealed with the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, Americans had seen the growth of organized crime, the corruption that permitted ordinary citizens to ignore it, and the loss of the taxes to fund other aspects of governance.
Wikipedia notes that “By 1925, in New York City alone, there were anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000 speakeasy clubs” where liquor was sold. Prohibition proved nearly impossible to implement and enforce.”
Barack Obama represents the high-water mark of progressives to impose communism on America.
A totalitarian form of government, we have witnessed how his administration has turned the Internal Revenue Service into a political instrument to suppress its opponents and has expanded the National Security Agency into a means to spy on all Americans, accessing every piece of communication between them.
Obamacare enables the government to know every bit of information about individual’s health records.
