Numerous sightings noted in local areas
by: Cliff Newell,
Janet Powers and her son Stevie go exploring in the wetlands next to their yard, hoping to spot where some coyotes might be staying.

Howls in the night. Strange, rustling steps on leaf-covered lawns. Worried pets. Missing cats.

And close encounters of the furry, four-legged kind.

Coyotes aren't just in the desert anymore. They are right here in Lake Oswego and West Linn, and from the increasing number of reports, their population could well be growing.

Local authorities don't believe there is reason to worry about the hungry critters, but evidently coyotes are adjusting very well and assimilating to this area's upscale style.

'The ones you see have no sense of urgency,' said Ken Guerins of West Linn. 'They're not running away. They're strolling.

'One of our friends saw one walking down the street at 10:30 in the morning. All of the cars were stopped because they were amazed by this coyote.'

'I'm surprised at how healthy they look,' said Janet Powers, who lives in the Westlake neighborhood of Lake Oswego. 'They seem happy. They have nice fluffy fur. They look well fed. They don't look scroungy at all. They're not like Wile E. Coyote.'

Far be it for a Lake Oswego coyote to be scroungy. And there's nothing wrong with their dental work, either. Coyotes have a reputation for being voraciously hungry, and if they are getting bold enough to walk the streets of Lake Oswego and West Linn, is there reason for local folks to worry?

'No,' says Capt. Mike Hammons of the Lake Oswego Police Department.

'There's no upsurge in our coyote population,' Hammons said. 'Coyotes have been in this town a long time. They're highly adaptive animals. Many cities are finding coyotes moving in and living there.

'Here we have our share of them. Coyotes are opportunists. Their main function is eating. They come back to eat your cat food. Then they come back to eat your cat. But they're not dangerous to people. They want less to do with you than you want to do with them.'

Hammons also noted, 'We have some of the best looking coyotes around. They're sleek and they have nice fur.'

Powers suspects that the reason local coyotes have such a nice, sleek look is that they are eating cats.

'I've never seen so many missing cat signs hung up around the neighborhood,' she said. 'My neighbor Jennifer Henninger is positive that coyotes ate her cat.'

Powers and her children and pets live in a very nice Westlake home, but as far as Lake Oswego goes they are living right in coyote country. Their yard borders a protected wetlands area from which the coyotes can slip in and out like ghosts.

Only sometimes Powers and her son Stevie see the coyotes before they can slip away. One time Stevie used his video camera to take an extremely brief video of a coyote before it disappeared back into the wetland.

'Everyone in our neighborhood has seen one or two coyotes,' she said.

Powers is not a woman easily spooked by animals. Five raccoons once confronted her in her washroom. They had all snuck in through the dog door to do some late night dining on dog food.

Powers even managed to trap a raccoon and 'I entered the raccoon relocation program.' That meant she had the raccoon shipped to a wildlife area rather than having it terminated.

But coyotes are a different matter for her.

'One time I was barbecuing steaks at night and I heard these noises,' Powers said. 'I left two raw steaks on the barbecue and I burned them because I was afraid to go back out. Personally, I thought it was a werewolf.'

Since coyotes have become part of her life lately, Powers has hit the Internet to find some most interesting coyote facts. Interesting enough to make her wary of barbecuing steaks too late at night.

'Coyotes can jump 4 meters and they can travel 4 kilometers,' Powers said. 'I've heard coyotes have overrun Golden Gate Park, and I saw an article about coyotes overrunning Beaverton.

'One or two coyotes don't bother me. Three, that bothers me.'

Yet it is the noises that coyotes make that cause Powers and her neighbors the most concern. Pets, too. Buster the golden retriever and Rascal the black cat have been known to sit side by side, staring at the door after hearing soft feet crunching on the leaves outside.

'The coyotes know there are animals in here,' said Powers, who would hate to put up a missing cat poster for Rascal. 'All our neighbors communicate about them. (One recent) night they had a howl-fest and creeped us all out.'

'One night there was the most awful yapping,' Stevie said. 'Like something was being attacked.'

Coyotes even seem to like the college life. At least they have been hanging out near Marylhurst University between Lake Oswego and West Linn.

'There are tons of coyotes out there,' said nearby homeowner Bonnie Freistone. 'I see them when I'm out running in the morning, and they're so tame I have to shoo them away. I see them at the field next to Marylhurst University eating rodents.'

'I've been awakened from a dead sleep at night from their howling and screaming,' said Donna Lindell. 'That's what they do when they have a prey.'

People in their neighborhood are apparently quite coyote-friendly, which Freistone does not understand.

'You see them walking down the street,' Freistone said. 'I'm from Montana and they don't treat coyotes that way there. They shoot them.'

Coyotes are also making themselves at home in the suburban neighborhoods of West Linn. Kennedy Monihan, 12, and Cailinn Guerins, 11, one morning encountered a four-legged stranger while on their way to Rosemont Ridge Middle School. (Monihan is the daughter of Review Publisher J. Brian Monihan).

'There was just one,' said Cailin, who got an excellent look at the coyote. 'It was light brown, white, gray and tan, and it was at least 3 feet high. It was the first time I've ever seen a coyote. It looked pretty scared.'

So were the girls.

'It was two arm lengths away,' said Cailin. 'I was really scared.'

'I was freaked out,' Kennedy said.

But the girls learned a quick lesson on how to deal with coyotes.

'We stopped by our other friend's house,' Kennedy said. 'Ellen came out and said to open our coats so we would look bigger. I think she'd seen a cougar before.'

'It started running and it was going really fast,' Cailin said. 'It ran real fast.'

Still, scary noises and sudden encounters aside, Hammons says coyotes are not dangerous to humans. People just need to take normal precautions, like keeping the cat indoors and bringing in the dog if a coyote shows up in their backyard.

'Coyotes are wild animals, so treat them as such,' Hammons said. 'Don't approach them.'

Also, don't harm them.

'Coyotes fall under the jurisdiction of the state,' Hammons said. 'They have every right to be here, and they will be here long after we're gone.

'If you see a coyote and it gets too close, jump up and down and shout. If they don't run away, let us know (at 503-635-0238). We would appreciate it so we can have a frame of reference.'

Karen Bowerman sits on the Lake Oswego City Council

by: SUBMITTED - BowermanIt was a strong race, but Lake Oswego City Council member Karen Bowerman lost her bid for Clackamas County Commissioner to incumbent and moderate conservative Paul Savas during Tuesday's primary election.

Bowerman claimed about 35 percent of the vote to Savas' 51 percent. She also faced off against Rick Best for the Position 2 seat.

Bowerman received an endorsement from current Clackamas County Chairman John Ludlow, who released a statement in April attacking Savas as a "frequently confused and ineffective commissioner." Ludlow predicted Bowerman would be an "effective steward of the county's tax dollars."

Bowerman, who holds a doctorate in administration from Texas A&M University, decided on her run for commission after less than a year on the City Council. She did not respond to a request for comment by press deadline.

“I’m certainly pleased that it’s over so I can again focus fully on initiatives for the county,” Savas said on election night. “People are tired of the rhetoric and disruption and dysfunction, and that’s what I’ve been focusing my campaign on and focusing my whole past four years on.”

Why Buy With Me

Buyer Testimonials

[My PPG team] was absolutely amazing. Our home buying experience was extremely long and full of complications with the bank, but they stood up for us and got what we wanted. They were able to get our home offer accepted despite having the lowest offer on the table. I highly recommend their team and I never doubted whose side they were on during the process. We never had difficulty getting in contact with them and our concerns were met with solutions. Excellent real estate agency!

Vannak Kong & Larisa Khorganova
Bought a single family home in Nov. 2016
4810 NW 189th Ave. Portland, OR.

I genuinely have never received this level of service before. It started on a Saturday night when I reached out to [my PPG agent’s] office to receive more information on a property they had listed. I didn't expect to hear back from anyone until Monday, but to my surprise, on Sunday someone called me back. At that point, I had not yet chosen a realtor - the representative asked if I minded if they sent me some materials, as they would love to represent me. I accepted, but still didn’t expect to pick a realtor any time soon. By the next day, they had sent me a booklet and additional materials about the home buying process. I still don't know how they were able to execute this, but this one gesture sold me on their team. I figured if this same level of urgency was displayed throughout the process, then I’d be in great hands. They have not disappointed me yet.

Bought a single family home in June 2017
3850 N Missouri Ave. Portland, OR

[My PPG agent] worked very hard to get my family the home we wanted… His associate fought for us against 5 other offers and gave us tips on how to make ourselves more appealing to the seller and it worked! We won the bid without having the highest buying price due to great negotiation skills. I would strongly recommend this team of professionals.

Karen Clift
Bought a single family home in Oct. 2014
3927 SE Bybee Blvd. Portland, OR

[My PPG agent] and her team were great to work with. They were ALWAYS available and very accommodating - even with short notice. Having just moved back to the area, their advice and knowledge was invaluable in choosing our home e.g. the right house in the right neighborhood. When we finally found our dream home, their team worked tirelessly to ensure a competitive offer was submitted. In fact, they were able to put together an offer package that was good enough to beat out 8 other offers! On top of that, [my PPG agent’s] team further negotiated a large price reduction during the repair negotiation (post house inspection) despite there being several back-up offers in place. If you’re wondering who to go with, look no further... and if what was already said wasn’t enough, I should mention that we reaped numerous other benefits from [my PPG agent’s] and her team’s industry relationships including free movers, a quick closing (under 30 days), and more. We couldn’t be happier!

Angela & Tony Jenkins
Bought a single family home in Sept. 2014
2308 SE 37th Ave. Portland, OR

I enjoyed working with [my PPG agent’s] entire team. I was very impressed with their responsiveness, they returned my emails and calls very quickly. After the home inspection a major siding issue surfaced and [my PPG agent] helped negotiate us to a favorable outcome. During this process he brought in siding experts to document the issue which allowed for a smooth closing and a favorable price adjustment. The entire team operated with Real Estate expertise.

Immaculate Conception Novena - Day 5-

Invocation to be Said Every Day of the Novena:
Thou art all fair, O Mary,
The Original Stain is not in thee.
Thou art the glory of Jerusalem,
Thou, the joy of Israel,
Thou, the great honor of our people
Thou, the advocate of sinners.
O Mary,O Mary,
Virgin most prudent,
Mother most merciful,
Pray for us,
Intercede for us with our Lord Jesus Christ.Amen

Day 5:

O God, Who by the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary didst make ready a fitting habitation for Thy Son, we beseech Thee that Thou who didst keep her clean from all stain by the precious death of the same Thy Son, foreseen by Thee, mayest grant unto us in like manner to be made clean through her intercession and so attain unto Thee. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen (Roman Missal).
The Raccolta

By thine Immaculate Conception, O Mary, make my body pure and my spirit holy.Amen

Hail Mary

Let us always remember the Poor Souls

Eternal Father, I offer You the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, for those in my own home and in my family. Amen

Prayer for the Conversion of Scandinavia

300 Days, once a day. (See Instructions.) 54 Leo XIII, April 18, 1885.

O good Jesus , prostrate at Thy feet, we humbly implore Thee, by thy most Sacred Wounds and by the Precious Blood which Thou didst shed for the salvation of the whole world, that Thou wouldst deign to cast a look of pity on the peoples of Scandinavia, seduced from the Faith for so many centuries, and plunged in the darkness of heresy, separated from thy Church, deprived of the participation of the adorable Sacrament of thy Body and Blood, and of the other sacraments instituted by Thee, as the refuge of souls in life and in death.

Remember, O Redeemer of the world, that for these souls too Thou didst suffer bitter death, with the loss of all thy blood. Bring back, O good Shepherd, these wandering sheep ofthine to the one fold and to the healthy pastures of thy Church, so that they may form with us one flock , tended by Thee, and by thy Vicar on earth, the supreme Pontiff, whom, in the person of the Apostle St Peter, Thou didst commission to feed thy sheep and thy lambs. Graciously hear, O good Jesus, the prayers which we offer Thee with the most lively trust in the love of thy Sacred Heart, and to thy most Holy Name be praise, glory, and honor, world without end. Amen.

a sunny day

we did lots of things today, like working in journals and reading books about families, playing the fingers-only version of simon says, and making the ffffff sound of the letter f. but the best part of our day was spent outside in the (chilly) sunshine, soaking up what's probably the last bit of nice weather before the chicago winter sets in.
there was one last green tomato lingering in the garden

there was water to flick from every surface

much jumping from the balance beam

and of course, the trusty trikes.

  1. do you have enough helmets for everyone? just one per bike? i want to begin this phase of our preschool bike riding, but am not sure about the system.

  2. we have four bikes, and a helmet for each bike- we did have to get different helmet sizes, though. the size range of the preschoolers' noggins surprised me!

regina, boxelder bugs, rodents, mice, rats, regina, saskatchewan, pest control, stink bugs

With temperatures cooling down, and fall being just around the corner, pests are getting ready to make their way into your home. Here is how to prepare and avoid them becoming a real problem.

Stink Bugs

When the weather becomes cooler, stink bugs tend to gather on the outer walls of houses and look for a crack or a hole to get in for some warmth. Stink bugs can be green or brown, are quite big in size, and release a foul smell when swatted. This is mostly why we do not want them in our homes! They will stay hidden in a warm place for the whole summer and come back out during spring time. However, now is the time to protect your house.

Check the walls and windows for any small cracks and gaps the stink bugs could use to get in. Ventilation spots should also be checked and repaired, if necessary. If a stink bug colony is already present inside your home, it is best to call a pest control professional for removal.

In the fall, mice and rats are the most likely rodents to make their way inside, where plenty of food is available to them. They will cause problems by chewing on wires, damaging insulation, reproducing quickly and, most importantly, carrying diseases dangerous for you, your family and your pets.

Take advantage of the last days of summer to repair any holes in the walls they could use to enter the house. Check for any gaps or leaks in your ventilation system and chimneys. If you have pipe and tubes going directly into your house, install some metal rodent protection to prevent rats and mice to use them as an entry way. Do not forget to clean up your garden and eliminate all piles of leaves and clutter, as they are the perfect place for rodents to settle before they get inside.

Box Elder Bugs

Box elder bugs, also called maple bugs, hibernate during the cold season. At the beginning of the fall, they will be looking for a warm place to spend the winter. They prefer to be inside the house or on the outer walls, where the warmth can still be felt. Though the only concern to have about them is the stains they leave behind, it is still unpleasant to have them as housemates.

Chemical control and the removal of female box elder trees, where they breed, are the most effective ways to prevent them from staying in your house.

These are just a few tips you can implement to keep your house safe from pests this fall. If you need more advice or your situation requires professional assistance, contact us for information.

8 of the Most Incredible Indoor Water Parks

By Erin Gifford

Timber Ridge Lodge & Water Park

Just two hours north of Chicago, Moose Mountain Falls at Timber Ridge Lodge & Water Park in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is the place to go for 50,000 square feet of pools, slides, tubes and a lazy river. A new slide, Avalanche Falls, engages all the senses thanks to colored lights and energetic playlists that let riders rock out to their favorite tunes as they slide. When you’re ready to dry off, head to Crazy Coyotes Arcade for dozens of arcade games or enjoy daily activities, like family movies and arts and crafts.

Wilderness Resort

Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, the self-proclaimed “Water Park Capital of the World,” may not be able to claim the largest indoor water park in the country, but it is the largest water park resort. The resort’s four indoor water parks make up over 250,000 square feet of wet and wild fun, and that doesn’t even include the four outdoor water parks at Wilderness Resort. Inside, ride the waves at the country’s largest indoor wave pool at Wild WaterDome or try the Midwest’s only slideboarding ride at Klondike Kavern.

Epic Waters Indoor Water Park

The brand new Epic Waters Indoor Water Park in Grand Prairie, Texas boasts 80,000 square feet of splash-worthy fun thanks to 11 water slides, like the Texas Twist and Yellowjacket Drop, as well as Lasso Loop, the tallest indoor Aqualoop ride in the country. A lazy river, mat racer slides and a water playground with geysers, sprinklers and a 300-gallon tipping bucket add to the fun. As a bonus, the water park has a retractable roof so you can enjoy the sunshine from inside the park on especially nice days.

Handcrafted Christmas on Main Street

In the midst of my remodeling and moving, I must remember that Christmas is coming and coming very quickly! Forget my decorating the new house for fall, we're going straight to Christmas!

Last year some friends and I created "Handcrafted Christmas in the Cabin" and sold our handmade creations in a quaint little cabin that my father built. It was a great success and LOTS of fun! This year, someone is living in the cabin and I have a store on Main Street in Burnsville, so I have decided to do a one day "Handcrafted Christmas on Main Street".
I do sell Christmas crafts all year in my store, but this will be a special day with refreshments, a gift certificate drawing, and lots of new Christmas items that we'll be making for your gift giving.

I know it's a bit early, but I wanted ya'll to mark your calendars and plan to visit Privies & Prims on December 12th!

Karen/My Colonial Home said...

This sounds like so much fun - is this in Ohio????
Wish I could make it.

Willow said...

Gators Gone Pro

Tracking former UF athletes through their professional sports careers

Wright making major progress in 3rd year with Bears

Major Wright had his eyes on the Gators this past Saturday, but one player in particular caught his attention. The former Gator safety, now with the Chicago Bears, says Matt Elam is making a name for himself at the same position he played at UF from 2007-2009. “He’s doing great. You know, he’s a great player. I feel like he does some things that simulates me,” Wright said. “He hits hard. He goes after the ball. He’s a great player.”… Read More »

Ingram, Rainey, Thompson, Wright shine in preseason

Four Gators had great performances on Thursday night in NFL preseason action. CORNELIUS INGRAM How awesome is it to not only see Ingram healthy and back on the field, but grabbing a touchdown? The former Gator tight end and Hawthorne star finished with two catches for 45 yards and this 25-yard touchdown from fourth-string quarterback Adam Weber. I know it’s only preseason, but that score has to do wonders for C.I., who’s suffered from multiple ACL tears. Ingram led the team… Read More »

Rebuttal: 3 reasons the American Revolution was a mistake

It really sucks to be a college student.(or a recent grad) I know how true this is, because I happen to currently be a college student. The amount of propaganda that we as college students in America are subjected to would make Ioseb Jughashvili start blushing. So it is with young Dylan Matthews, a writer for Vox Media who has written an absolutely atrocious piece titled "3 reasons the American Revolution was a mistake"

Now, since I have the advantage here in that I have a highly tuned sense of curiosity, wheras Mr. Matthews took what his professors fed to him in total without asking one single question to counter what he was being fed, I would prefer to from this point focus on the three arguments in the article, which are as wrong as can possibly be. In particular, the first and the third are of the most interest. The second is so completely laughable that I'm not going to bother spending more than a half paragraph on it.

To begin, I would like to point out that the opening of the article is a picture, a painting really - That of George Washington Crossing the Delaware. The irony is that there's a black person sitting right there in the boat with Washington. Does that make my curiosity a curse or a gift? I know who that man is, too. But I'm not going to footnote this one. I want you to look it up and find his name on your own, I think that would be very useful.

Since there is a black person sitting right there in the boat with George Washington, what does that say about the rest of the article as written on Vox? He has no clue about his history, he only knows what was on the spoon that he was fed by.

Contention #1: "Abolition would have come faster without independence"

Vox Media is an outlet for leftists, so let's start with a concept that they are well familiar with. Outsourcing. This is an easy thing to grasp, so I will quickly move on. In regards to slavery and its abolition, the American Founding presented England with an opportunity to get rid of the institution of slavery. When the colonies were joined together with the kingdom as English subjects and the slave trade was booming, there is no chance that England would do what it did in 1807 and again 1834 with a united force of slavers. Since the colonies split with the kingdom taking some of the slavers with them, that pressure of the slave trade was essentially(partially) outsourced. This is a contention that is even admitted in the piece to a degree, in that "Britain would have had much more to gain from the continuance of slavery". But we can't let facts get in the way of a good guilt trip. Especially, since I brought up the abolition of the slave trade in 1807. Did you notice how that was omitted from the Vox piece? Of course it was. Why? America abolished the slave trade before England did. Again, why let facts get in the way of a good guilt trip?

Let's examine the NIMBY aspect of English slavery at the time. The English abolished slavery on the homefront in 1772, yet the king did everything he could to see to its continuance in his colonies. This is NIMBYism, not any reliance upon some sort of principle. Slavery made the king a lot of money, and he need that money for all of his wars. There were a lot of anti-slavery laws that were being passed by the colonies, and the king would have none of it. Virginia, for example, passed a law in 1761 that met with a Monarchical veto.(1) The king then issued a decree to the Governor of Virginia that:

"upon pain of the highest displeasure, to assent to no law by which the importation of slaves should be in any respect prohibited or obstructed."(1)

When we examine the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, we see a similar situation. The language here is even more striking:(2)

he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it's most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold

So lets review - in the original article, Lord Dunmore's proclamation is cited. This cite is misused. The king had no interest in abolishing slavery for the specific sake of abolishing slavery. He only was interested in bringing in more soldiers for his fight against liberty. Lord Dunmore's proclamation ends with this phrase "God Save The King". But in reality, those who are against slavery should be saying this: God Damn The King. Not only for what he did to those people back then and for what he prevented from happening(abolition), but for how this legacy is abused today to further the anti-American, anti-Liberty agenda of today's progressives. While we are on this point, it needs to be examined: When the king was leveraging slaves in the American colonies to try to increase his soldier count, what did the king do? He set a precedent that slavery was a bad thing - the very thing he tried fighting against just a few years earlier. This precedent would surely be beneficial to the anti-slavery kind in England, such as William Wilberforce.

The worst part of it is this: the king upheld slavery when it benefitted him, and modern progressives let him get away with it. Hypocrites. All progressives are hypocrites on this point of slavery - for letting the king get away with this.

Note that the first draft is even mentioned in the article, but since all of the anti-slavery colonial laws (and the king's vetos of them) have been wiped from history, that allows progressive writers to cast the original "draught" of the Declaration as merely a response to Dunmore and nothing more, when as can be seen above, it was not. Anti-slavery laws were common in the American colonies(3), but in order to believe what has been written you have to assume that the drive for American Independence only began in 1775. It, of course, did not. Like Lord Dunmore, Lord Norborne Berkeley(Dunmore's predecessor) was also a loyalist monarchist governor. So when the king vetoed colonial anti-slavery laws, it stuck.

Contention #2: "Independence was bad for Native Americans"

A large portion of this section is spent apologizing for Canadian "horrible, indefensible crimes". I could simply just cut and paste the article itself back in here, but that would be a copyright issue. It's a sad fact of humanity that the "big dogs" always pick on the "little dogs". This is probably one of the few areas of agreement I would have since I wish it weren't the case as well, but I am certainly not going to feel guilty about it in the context of America when every society/nation I've ever read about is guilty of this. To point out that Vox is engaging in a futile attempt at navel gazing would be an understatement.

Contention #3: "America would have a better system of government if we'd stuck with Britain"

As I have consistently written, progressives do not like individual liberty. This article is no different. A parliament is inferior to the separation of powers that exists in the United States Constitution. One of the big reasons why progressives going all the way back to Woodrow Wilson love the English style of government is that their constitution, the UK Constitution, is a living and breathing document.(4) I wrote a paper about this already, which will save me time here.(4) The difference between the US Constitution being a "living and breathing" document is de-facto, that is, it is only true because the courts have made it so through force, coercion, and deception. It was never inherently such. But the UK Constitution is de-jure "living and breathing". You can't even print out a copy of it! Go ahead, go to and give it a try. Try printing a copy of the UK Constitution.

Since England is still a monarchy(even limited), its people are still subjects. They are not free citizens. They may have been free from subjection for a short time, at some point after the American Revolution, but their government has controlled their healthcare for generations. This is pretty simple - when the government controls your healthcare, the government controls your body - they control you. Your body is you.(Surprise surprise!) If the government controls you, then you're not a free citizen. You're a subject. (And yes, sadly, I know that I have been a subject myself since March 23, 2010. I do put myself in that lot.) So if the subjects of England did have freedom, they lost it on July 5th, 1948. Mark the date.

And yes, let me make this clear: If the king would have controlled the Founding Fathers' healthcare, there would not have been an American Revolution. There would have been even less of an interest in independence, since government controlled healthcare is in reality all about dependence.

Now, as to the progressives' rejection of individual liberty, I will cite a few here. I have gone in depth with them in the past both in my blog, and there are examples as well written in my paper on the UK Constitution.(4) Both Woodrow Wilson and John Dewey(for example) have quite explicitly rejected individual liberty. John Dewey wrote that liberal schools and the philosophical doctrines that underlay it:(5)

served to break down the idea that freedom is something that individuals have as a ready-made possession

Dewey also wrote that:(6)

The emancipated individual was to become the organ and agent of a comprehensive and progressive society.

Dewey is talking about "emancipating" individuals from the evils of 18th century ideology. That is, the beliefs of the Founders and all of this "Nature" stuff that they(the Founders) kept talking about.

Woodrow Wilson was even more elitist about his rejection of individual liberty. He wrote:(7)

a great deal of nonsense has been talked about the inalienable rights of the individual, and a great deal that was mere vague sentiment and pleasing speculation has been put forward as fundamental principle.

For people who would prefer not to be slaves of progressivism, yes, individual liberty is indeed a "fundamental principle". You can quote me on that. Finally, one of Wilson's most famous quotes is where he says that "If you want to understand the real Declaration, do not repeat the preface."(8) Make no mistake about it, progressivism is all about government that works "more efficiently" - meaning fast government, faster and faster and faster government. For progressives, they don't mind that authoritarian government exists, as long as they are the ones controlling it. Even monarchism, progressives will support. That's better than individual liberty for them.

King George got a lot of things done. He was very efficient. The irony is that the English people themselves fought for nearly a thousand years to do something about out of control, efficient, fast government. See the 1100 Charter of Liberties, the Magna Carta, the 1628 Petition of Right, the 1642 Grand Remonstrance, and the 1689 Bill of Rights for more details. And yes, this history does matter in the context of American History, see Federalist #84.(9)

Parliamentarian government is "faster government", as has been admitted in the original article. That's what makes it tyrannical. People need time to read, think about, and digest laws. Not pass them to find out what is in them!

In closing, there is only one reason why more conservatives cannot push back against this extreme misuse of the travesty of slavery against America, and it goes right to the heart of progressivism and back to the opening sentences of my writing. Colleges are pushing out nothing but propaganda, so very, very few people even know the king's true role in upholding slavery as well as the Founding generation's valiant efforts to get rid of it.

It's time to start pushing back. Any time the issue of "slavery" comes up, who should be running for the tall grass is progressives. There's no reason why anybody should be afraid of this when it is used. We don't own this. The king does.
