Progressivism, Obama and all the rest

Peter Berkowitz provides a succinct analysis of the roots of Progressivism including its irresolvable contradictions.  Bottom line:  the P movement is largely one thought up and promoted by academics who live in the theoretical world in which those with superior intellects know what's best for everyone and should be in charge of society.  It goes without saying this concept is anti democracy and antithetical to all the great American experiment has been about.  To read this article is to understand exactly how anti American the Obama crown is in fact and how dangerous to the way of life we have constructed and fought many wars to preserve.  This Obama experiment so many bought into was/is a catastrophic mistake and one we will have great difficulty overcoming given the damage already done.
