Progressives Have Arrived at Their Veruca Salt Moment – American Greatness

Progressives Have Arrived at Their Veruca Salt Moment – American Greatness
"Progressives have finally lost patience with the American people.
...The progressives’ revolutionary purpose is to reverse the outcome of the American Revolution, to overthrow the American system that is the gift of the Founders. 
...In the 20th century, there were three great attempts in the West to replace the social order created during the Enlightenment era. 
The Enlightenment era ultimately put the people in charge of the government. 
Each of the three movements born in the 20th century was an attempt to put the government back in charge of the people. 

• The Germans and the Italians tried national socialism; 
• the Russians and the Chinese tried Communism. Both brought ruin and catastrophe and then failed spectacularly.
• The third attempt, the American one, is progressivism. The progressives have outlasted the other two. They were more clever and more patient than their two rivals. 

But the advent of Obama changed everything for them...meant the long-anticipated final moment had arrived.
Obama promised a “fundamental transformation” of America was at hand—and the Left went wild.
They threw caution to the wind. 

• The Democrats pushed through Obamacare on a straight party-line vote...
• Obama’s signal foreign policy initiative was to provide a life-saving gift to the mullahs in Iran. 
• He lifted the sanctions on Iran, which in addition to giving the mullahs a new lease on life, also augmented that lease with direct foreign aid variously reported but in the neighborhood of $150 billion.
• Back home, Obama and the Democrats required that schools allow boys who “identify as girls” to use the showers and dressing rooms set aside for girls. 

To the progressive elite, Obama in the White House meant the Democrats no longer needed to worry about alarming American voters.
...The Democrats are done with paying lip service to American ideals they do not believe in just so they can get elected. 
They have had it with the American people, and they have decided to replace us with people more to their liking, people who will never consider blocking their progressive agenda.
How can the Democrats be so certain that the floodtide of illegals they’ve chosen for this task can be counted upon to empower them? 
Could it be because those people are not exactly dedicated to the American idea, either?
...What happened? 
The Democrats are done with waiting. 
They want what they have always wanted and, like the spoiled girl Veruca Salt in “Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory,” they want it now.
They believe, and they have good reason to believe, that open borders means an end to pesky voters interfering with the progressive project."
