- The Left’s American Dream movement
- UK riots have an unmentionable cause
- California’s popular vote law
Led by Van Jones, our favorite self-declared communist and former Obama staffer, the American Dream Movement “announced the Contract for the American Dream, a new agenda for economic recovery supported by a grassroots movement that progressive leaders say will rival the Tea Party in size and impact.” (more here) Those progressives can’t get their message straight – one minute they're decrying the Tea Parties as yesterday’s newspaper, and the next minute they’re trying to get something similar going to match its “size and impact”. This is their second attempt at flattering the TPs; the first was something called the ‘Coffee Club’ or clatch or whatever that was launched into oblivion a couple of years ago. In any case, one man's dream is another's nightmare.
British social scientists are quietly starting to ascribe the cause of the ongoing riots in the UK to multi-culturalism (gasp!). It seems that there is insufficient reason to suspect deprivation of this sort or that since Great Britain is one of the most socially generous and culture-compliant countries in the world. The rioters have been mostly black Africans who have attacked the shops and businesses of other ethnic groups in UK’s major cities. (The police shot one of their gang members.) In response, the target ethnics – Pakistanis, Sikhs, Turks, … – have coagulated into defensive ethno-centric vigilante platoons since police protection is sparse and late. Prime Minister Cameron and other European leaders have already gone public with their assessments of how mulikulti affects their respective countries. Tough reporting job for the leftwing press.
California quietly took another large step toward Progressive Amerika with Governor Moonbeam’s signing of the National Popular Vote Law. This law will assign all of California’s 55 electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the nation’s popular vote, regardless of the candidate that won in California. (more here) It is another step away from the Founders’ republicanism and toward popular democracy, an inherently unstable and beguiling form of governance that leads to autocracy. Unfortunately that is the progressive agenda (aka UN's Agenda21) in full swing – eight other states have already adopted similar legislation, and now it's coming to a state near you. We can already hear the strains of ‘The Internationale’ in the distance.
