Progressive Evil: How Radicals Are Redefining America's Rights, Institutions, and Ideals, Making Her Globally Irrelevant for the End Times
Progressive Evil confirms that Western humanity as we know it is on a downward spiral thanks in part to cultural Marxism: a social and political movement that promotes unreason and irrationality through the guise of various social justice causes. That ideology deliberately deceives and disarms the malleable, unsuspecting masses and is the tool of contemporary progressives, an evil cabal represented by a stable filled with Democratic Party presidential candidates. Progressive Evil reveals in 19 chapters that:
•Modern America is flushing out of its public life much of the good that God created through our founding fathers in exchange for the false promises of the so-called progressive “promised land.”
•The progressives’ assault on America demonstrates their mental illness and the resulting palpable evil that could make America irrelevant, and therefore absent in the prophetic end times, albeit helpful to Satan in paving the way for the Antichrist.
•Demonstrates progressives are dead-set on flushing our constitutional rights – speech, faith, bear arms – to fit their radical ideology.
•Progressives seek to destroy America’s key institutions – family, education, economy – that provide the foundation which made this country great.
•They use fascistic actions to destroy American exceptionalism by redefining our cultural ideals: individuality, capitalism, liberty, equality and patriotism.
Discerning Americans must earnestly pray for our country, for our leaders and then become active defending our constitutional rights, our critical institutions and our ideals before our country lands in the ash heap of history.

ARE PROGRESSIVES ‘PAVING THE WAY FOR THE COMING ANTICHRIST’?
Lieutenant Colonel Robert Maginnis, U.S. Army (retired) is an analyst for Salem Radio Network and is a regular guest on several other radio and television networks (such as SkyWatch TV).
He wrote in the Preface to this 2019 book, “The contemporary progressive left---much of the modern-day Democratic Party---has in recent years descended into sheer madness (mental illness), dragging American society down the proverbial sinkhole of slimy humanity. Consider that Democrats continue to remove the constitutionally elected President Donald Trump through whatever legal or illegal means necessary, no matter the damage that campaign does to our constitutional republic. They even challenged the depths of prudence when they broke the mold … on how to eject a Supreme Court nominee… Both the left and right differ about socialized medicine, gun control the minimum wage, and abortion; however, disagreeing about policies doesn’t explain why the progressive left seems to be totally going-off-the-rails insane in terms of both behavior and perverted social views.” (Pg. vii-viii)
He continues, “the evil of cultural Marxism is succeeding at pushing America rapidly into a transitional phase of postmodern irrelevance. Yes, American society is becoming very different than it was in the past---it is far more self-focused and narcissistic, while seeking to destroy the last vestiges of true Christianity, moral principles, and everything good that once distinguished this country as a special place among the nations of the world. The only way to understand the radical progressive left is to consider the spiritual dimension of their insanity. After all, humans are at their core spiritual beings—our thoughts, worldview and identity… We know with 100 percent accuracy that the prophecies of the future are certain, we cannot be complacent… Therefore, we must fight the evil works of the progressives.” (Pg. x-xiv)
He identifies “seven progressive views regarding government and the governed:”: “1. Progressives Believe Government Makes You Who You Are… 2. Progressives Don’t Believe People Must Consent to Be Ruled… 3. Progressives Reject God and Faith… 4. Progressives Embrace Unlimited Government… 5. Progressive Government Wants to Be God… 6. Progressives are Sold-Out Globalists… 7. Progressive Elites Rule the World…” (Pg. 11-16)
He asks, “Are the wealthy capitalists really taking over America? That may sound a bit conspiratorial---a small group of wealthy people running America. Maybe not… America’s government is indeed run by one elected and two unelected groupings. The national government’s elected political class… The second layer of the deep state … are the nongovernment influencers of the political class (the wealthy, corporations, other countries, lobbyists, think tanks, academia)… The third layer … is the unseen realm… the evil influences of the unseen realm are evident… This influence is the substance of religion, the spirits (demons and angels) of a dimension beyond our five senses.” (Pg. 45-46)
He observes, “The American people … believe Supreme Court appointments are either the most important or an important factor in deciding who to elect as president … conservative presidents tend to nominate judges who exercise a philosophy of judicial restraint, thus they follow our laws as written… Liberal presidents … tend to nominate judicial activists who legislate from the bench to shape the law to reach progressive outcomes.” (Pg. 83-84)
He asserts, “the Christian church was and will continue to be victimized by progressive political ideology… The more progressive the American culture becomes, the more those in Christian church pews will themselves become radicalized and distant from God’s Word… Progressives have every intent of compelling … people of all faiths to change (progress) by surrendering to … demands on antibiblical ‘gay’ marriage, transgender rights, abortion, and many more aberrant and sinful worldly paths… a future big government controlled by them [will] force even Bible-believing Christian pastors to … perform homosexual marriages or face jail---or worse. Do you believe a pro-life Christian church will ever be forced to host an abortion clinic? I believe that will happen once American is under a progressive, big-government rule… [Progressives will] force their will on all people … to impose the strictures of climate change, gun control, socialism… ad removal of a church’s tax-exempt status.” (Pg. 105-106)
He states, “The contemporary American family is devastated today, as a result of progressive initiatives: leftist cultural influences, radical feminism, homosexuality, and abortion on demand, the so-called War on Poverty, and a host of other big-government programs that encourage since parenthood and fail to hold fathers accountable.” (Pg. 204)
He insists, “Progressives’ god is big government (and their religion is politics)… Thus the right to publicly live our faith, which our founders tried to protect via our Constitution, is today the target of progressivism. That is why Christians … rightly perceive that progressives embrace policies that tend to be antireligion…” (Pg. 237-238) He adds, “Expect progressives to also call for the impeachment of conservative Supreme Court [justices] such as Brett Kavanaugh and replace them with like-minded, socialist-leaning judges… Big government is the progressives’ god that… tramples on religious freedom in the name of equality, and destroys anyone or entity that may disagree.” (Pg. 250-251) He suggests, “Progressives salivate for the time when they will once again control the presidency and the Congress.” (Pg. 280)
He asserts, “Progressives talk about democracy, equality, and social justice, but they tend to enforce that outcome using public policies overseen by elitism, hubris, and authoritarianism… one can make the case that progressives will employ a fascistic approach to economic policy.” (Pg. 329) Later, he adds, “I fully expect that, should progressives take over this country… then through whatever means… necessary, the majority will trample over minority liberties on virtually every possible front to include property, religion, privacy, liberty, and more. Yet they will call their actions the liberation of the people.” (Pg. 351)
He summarizes, “The evidence of progressives’ success at dismantling traditional Christian values and replacing them with progressive evil is beyond dispute… they are rapidly succeeding at creating widespread, derogatory attitudes toward men, white people, Christians, and heterosexuals… our contemporary culture no longer tolerates criticism of radical feminists… or any minority, especially Muslims… Progressives… genuinely hate us… Many progressives display symptoms of a mental illness and they are associated with evil… unless they are stopped, they will become Satan’s right-hand men, welcoming the Antichrist…” (Pg. 384-385) He emphasizes, “Yes, progressives maybe paving the way for the coming Antichrist…” (Pg. 390)
LTC Maginnis’s assertions are certainly as extreme, unbalanced, and unfair as he himself accuses the Progressives of being.

Powerful, unsettling analysis of the damage that progressives/liberals are doing to our once great country. Using extensive footnotes and laying the book out in a very readable and easy-to-understand way, LTC Robert Maginnis outlines all the ways we are being made to question what the United States always stood for and believed and how it is systematically being dismantled by those who want to control us and who hate the very documents that are the backbone of our way of life: The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. Two more magnificent documents you could not hope to have and yet those on the Left are reshaping the Democratic Party into something so far from what the Founders envisioned that there will soon be nothing left of the once great Republic we call the United States of America. There is a lot here but it is well-organized and put forth so that even someone with little knowledge of politics can grasp the dangers inherent in what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have planned to "bring us in line" with their ideology. This book was written before the election, but during the campaign season and is very current and chilling. Read it, pray and then fight back with all you have to preserve the freedoms we hold so dear.
