What Clarence Thomas Actually Said

Progressivism is not American

There is a great deal of noise in the main stream media about Clarence Thomas’s speech at the University of Texas at Austin, claiming he was being political and attacking Democrats, liberals and progressives.

This is a lie.

If you listen to his speech (link below) you will hear that he is simple and clearly sharing his perspectives on the meaning and purpose of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and inalienable rights and CONTRASTING those to the perspectives of Progressives, where Progressivism is identified as the movement away from the Constitution and individual rights towards an administrative state as introduced by Wilson in 1912.
