Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party Quote
Jonah Goldberg: The opening of the Democratic convention in 2012, Government is the one thing we all belong to. No, government belongs to us, we don't belong to it, we are citizens, not subjects. You remember the Life of Julia ad the Obama administration put out? Every frame begins with the words 'Under President Obama', Julia gets this kind of scholarship and this kind of loan and this kind of promised job. The creepiest sentence in modern political history was when The Life of Julia ad says Under President Obama, Julia decides to have a child. Nowhere in this do you see Julia's family, there're no parents, there's no husband, there're no friends, it's just the state as personified by Barack Obama: community, churches, synagogues, family, friends, mediating institutions as the social scientists call them, that give us a sense of order and place in the world. That's what the world of the state has planned. And it was completely contrary to the ideas of the founding of this country, the classic liberal ideas of the founding of this country: the fruits of your labor belong to you, our rights come from God, not government, we are citizens, not subjects.
Dinesh D'Souza: The progressive-ism is actually progress away from the founding.
Jonah Goldberg: Yeah, that's right.
Dinesh D'Souza: The progressive-ism is actually progress away from the founding.
