What the ultra-vocal people in 2013 are saying progressive want to burn things down and not care what is left in the ashes the day after, just burn it down
as i have said, that philosophy is indeed going so far round the block that it is exactly the same except for wedge issues, as the teaparty on the other side.
and one thing the so called "progressives" seem to forget is they pick and choose one sentence or one issue of someone, then disregard that their heroes actually support the President 99% of the time, and 100% of the time a 60th vote is needed.
And, as judged, LBJ and John V. Lindsay and Jim Florio are not looked upon kindly to them anyhow.
The world is more than soundbyte same words, which just as easily could come from Ron Paul and Rand Paul. (and Rand's rant fillibuster showed the same same loved him doing so and admired him.)
NO LIBERAL would have admired ONE letter of any word Rand Paul spews out.
That is the difference between a liberal and a progressive in May 2013.imho
