The Four Horsemen of Progressivism

The National Review, two issues ago included essays that I enjoyed.  This is recommended reading for people who hope to understand the founders of the liberal plague besieging the United States.  Included are four sections,each for men who, in some cases are not currently recognized for who and what the beleived in. As conservative research more, you are seeing more frequent condemnation of some of the men these people set into motion, the foot soldiers.  Men who preferred the social policies and development of Germany's Bismark to our nation's founders who built the Constitution based on natural law and the economic principles of Adam Smith.
Those parents to the hordes of American socialist termites are:

• Richard Ely
• John Dewey
• Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
• Herbert Croly

Their immediate followers, those termites, were men like:

• Teddy Roosevelt
• Woodrow Wilson
• Eugene Debs
• Louis Brandeis
• Bob La Follette Sr.

These are all men held in high esteem in current history as portrayed young in government schools.  Like President Obama they  saw the Constitution as flawed, in impediment to the good that an unrestrained benevolent government can provide.  They may or may not recognize that the Constition was designed to protect the citizens from the price such a government expects for such benevolence.  I realize it. I would have put direct links to the stories here except you will have to become a member. At least read up on the men mentioned.
