Bill Clinton Speech: Yesterday’s Gone
27th July 2016
Read it. Or just watch the video to get the full effect.
Time to remind everybody of the Pillars of Progressivism:
- Progress is inevitable (per Marx).
- Progress is impossible without change (obvious to the most casual observer).
- Since progress is impossible without change and progress is inevitable, any change will produce progress (eventually).
- Since any change will eventually produce progress, constant change is mandatory (otherwise no progress).
- Since any change will eventually produce progress, any resistance to change is Bad and the people who resist change are Stupid or Evil.
Hence the emphasis on Hillary as ‘bringer of change’ (and hence the lack of specification as to what exact changes she had delivered).
This also underlies Barack Obama’s whole ‘Hope and Change’ schtick.
If you read the lyrics of the Fleetwood Mac song Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow, they express perfectly the progressive mindset: The past is unimportant because it had less progress, and tomorrow will be better because it will have even more progress, and if I’ve harmed anybody I didn’t mean it so therefore it doesn’t count.
‘Oh, don’t you look back.’ This is the Clinton playbook in a nutshell. This is the life they live. This is what allows them to lie and lie and lie and never feel any remorse or even admit to it. That was yesterday, and yesterday’s gone.
