 Bear in mind that it was the leftist/"progressive"/"liberals" who reformed the American Experiment of a minimalistic, noninterventionist, Pro-Minding-Its-Business republic, and free-market capitalist economy, to be the 16th AMD's human capital stock, toiling away for their massive, oppressive, corrupt, one-size-fits-all socialist New Deal, and their Great Society of money-pit middlemen bureaucrats with domain over our bodies, legislating over every aspect of our lives! How "progressive!"

Chickens come home to roost, mutherfuckers.  
 I can barely stand leftists called "liberals." Or "progressive," for that matter. These are not 17-18th Century, John-Locke, Age-of-Enlightenment liberals, for individual freedom and independence, like The American Experiment and the Land of the Free. These are big-government, neoliberal socialists like Wilson, FDR, LBJ... of the "Illiberal Left."
