Progressivism, on the other hand, is more comprehensive, targeting pious and self-righteous limits on liberty with the same intensity with which it targets socioeconomic problems.

When I saw Bernie last week, Jim introduced him. He had two great lines--in addition to the "stealing with a fountain pen" which he mentioned. But his best was, " all the 1-percenters think they are the top dogs and we're all a bunch of fire hydrants".

He also referred to the current democratic leadership as "weaker than Canadian hot sauce". His video is here in "video section" from last week if you want to see it.

Thanks Thom. Hightower is indeed a great mind--with a Texas twist.
