“It’s a slow learning — from the inside out A slow turning — but you come about”
John Hiatt “Slow Turning”
In the tradition of the left-wing’s penchant for coining new words (such as “homophobia” and “Islamophobia”), I feel that “we the people” ought to have a word to describe the Progressive’s fear, or phobia, of freedom — “freedomphobia.” Link Link
The core fear of Freedomphobes (freephobes) is the dread of taking personal responsibility for anything. They love the “blame game,” and blame anything and everyone but themselves, for all of their woes — real or imagined. The more controlled and regulated their environment the better, to their thinking — makes it easier to know who and what to point their finger at. Freedom scares them.
Freedomphobes mistake licentiousness and chaos for liberty and freedom. They call indentured servitude to the government a patriotic duty (your duty — not theirs), and they equate their spending your money, with charity and largesse. The more that their unbridled greed and corruption bother their conscience (those that have one), the more “charitable” they become with your money.
Freedomphobes are by their very nature unpatriotic, not to mention un-American. They fear freedom, so how could it be otherwise? They fear America’s greatness, promise, and freedom, hence they seek to tear down and belittle America however, and whenever, they can.
Freephobes hate freedom. They want to rein it in, trample on it, and destroy it — all while singing its praises with studied hypocrisy (the better to lure the unwary into their freedom-destroying web). They look down their noses at the “we the people,” while comfortably ensconced in lucrative taxpayer-funded jobs (government), cushy NGOs (foundations), or other intelligentsia approved vocations (e.g. law, media, teaching, etc.).
Freedomphobes come in all stripes and persuasions — both Democrat and Republican. Unfortunately, much of the Republican ruling-class is as thoroughly freedomphobic as their Democratic counterparts, and must be systematically deloused from our political system as well. They both want to smother “we the people” under a mountain of rules and regulations, designed to eradicate freedom and replace it with socially engineered servitude.
At this point it is worth spending a moment to address a particular conundrum — I’m speaking of the left-wing “anarchists.” How can a nanny state loving freedomphobe be against big government? The answer is, they cannot. The “anarchists” currently protesting Wall Street are a cynical canard.
Unlike the true anachists on the extreme right, the left-wing faux-anarchists are not against governments per se; they merely wish to replace limited government with a monolithic nanny state of one sort or another. Mega-wealthy freephobe parasites such as George Soros fund much of their activities (granted, calling a freephobe a parasite it somewhat redundant — a la “freeloading freephobes,” or if you’ll permit me to run the alliteration into the ground, “frigging freeloading freephobes”).
