Post modern Progressive Liberalism is a mental disease, a cancer of the intellect. And like any cancer, you cannot bargain, reason or negotiate with it. You can only hope to eliminate it before it kills the host off of which it feeds.
If we had political truth labeling laws we could expect the Progressives to register as the "Something for Nothing Party" or the "Don't Worry, We're Making the Rich People Pay for It Party." But, um, what will we have to call "liquidation?"
