These suicidal whack jobs have proven themselves unworthy of the term as they have willingly enslaved themselves to those who wish them dead. They dance to the tune of totalitarians and dictators the world over and respect only suffocating power. They are no longer "free men," but willing accomplices to their own eventual demise. They like the term progressive? Fine, as they are "progressing" towards their own deaths, they may keep it. I will take up the mantle of the "Liberal," the freedom loving free man in the mold of Jefferson, Madison, and all others who worked for the freedom of mankind. To the devil with fools and poseurs who would bend their necks to bondage to score political points! These men are not liberals, they are fellow travelers and useful idiots.
