The Progressives

 "Do as I say not as I do" could be a perfect definition on what being a progressive means. They always are in possession of the truth, the only truth. There cannot be any other option. The rest of the people, those who disagree, are consequently wrong.  Their words are close to the poor, to those whose lives are painful and miserable. Their actions, totally opposite to their words: actions prone to spend on expensive things, obsessed with leading a lifestyle of luxuries and and expensive brands.
      Progressives fill their mouths with big principles and carry out actions of cowardice and hypocrisy. It is necessary to help the poor but they spend thousands of Euros or Dollars on trendy clothing, everlasting nights going out. They condemn capitalism but keep silent on socialist or communist dictatorships. For them, all the issues have a very simple solution: expending and expending money. It does not matter if eventually that money has to be returned because they will have not to do it. Others will come to do it. They are the saviors, the avant - garde. The world will always be in debt with them.
    The progressives talk, others have to act. They just spend, others have to save. Progressives cultivate propaganda, with the majority of the media. They are entitled to control it because they deserve it. After all, they will never be recognized enough.
     Thus, there is a terrible paradox: the progressive becomes the antonym of progress. They are just words, pretences, smoke, a petty mirage...
    However facts are stubborn: looking at the countries where progressive governments lead the country, we can observe bankruptcy, cracks in the democratic system,  regression in relation to liberties, less jobs, less opportunities and prospects for everyone: Spain, Portugal, Greece, Ireland...
    Visa Gold credit cards, luxurious houses, expensive brands and a obsession for the image and the material things are the pillars of the progressives.
     "Do as I say, not as I do", defines them with thoroughness. The dictatorship of the masses is all around, the tyranny is set... in the meantime, the poor are poorer, and the rich, richer.
