Congressional Dems helped: RT @KatrinaNation "ACORN declares bankruptcy. The Right took out a group committed 2 ensuring poor had a voice."
OK, this tweet comes from Glenn Greenwald, a blogger at Salon.com, where he says that the poor don't have a voice as if the only way someone can express themselves is through the government. The logical fallacy in this is that a person can only find self-expression through the political process and their existence only counts through acts of the government. This mentality is shown over and over again in the left where kindness only counts when the government is doing it. It never counts when it is done outside of government.
The way this blogger states the the poor won't have a voice unless the participate in government is like saying no person, rich or poor, won't have a 'voice' if they don't vote. It reflects an attitude that is deep within the psyche of the left where the collective is the supreme soul of man and that they can reach purification when the participate in democracy. Democracy itself becomes societies own temple, god, and heaven all in one process.
The right is not immune from this way of thinking either because how many of us today felt energized by voting. It seems almost like a spiritual event for society or at least that thinking has been ingrained into us by the progressive movement. I don't think the founders ever felt energized by voting as if we are participating in a community event that would connect our souls to the collective spirit of society.
This is the legacy of the progressive movement in which they saw the collective mass having a spirit of its own that was comparable to God. Community participation became almost similar to what people did thousands of years ago when they worshiped at state temples. The spiritual character of society has not left us--it just morphs into something else because the only way the character of man will change is when we stop being human so the basic instinct will always be there.
