Quotes by James Ostrowski  (?)

“This is not an accident.  Progressivism is a mindset that favors the use of aggressive government force to solve social problems.  Prison is one of its main tools.  Prison is the threat behind every progressive edict.  If you don’t directly merit prison by violating a criminal statute, you can earn prison by interfering with a government agent enforcing progressive policies or by ignoring a court order to obey the law.  A large number of prisoners are incarcerated either because they violated a progressive drug law or because their illegal drug habit drew them into a criminal lifestyle. ”
James Ostrowski, Progressivism: A Primer on the Idea Destroying America

“under progressivism, the state will grow until it controls everything and absolutely. That is, it will grow into a totalitarian state.”
James Ostrowski, Progressivism: A Primer on the Idea Destroying America

“The brilliant liberal Mark Twain had his number. He called Roosevelt “far and away the worst President we have ever had.”  Of course, this was before Woodrow Wilson had his turn.”
James Ostrowski, Progressivism: A Primer on the Idea Destroying America
