It is the fanatic acceptance of Collectivist/Egalitarian premises, and the belief that a Government can actually redesign a people--like so much biological putty--to make the Egalitarian fantasy actually become real. Thus you have the idea that the end justifies the means. Of course, the idiocy does not actually work. Humans are not so plastic; success comes not from exploitation of others, but from productive behavior. But those who buy into the lunacy, either dare not awaken, lest their fanatic comrades turn on them, or--if among the leaders of the madness--become too enamored with the fruits of the resulting power, not to continue to employ the methodology that has brought them to that power.
Yes, it is treason. But "if it prosper, none dare call it 'Treason.'"

The entire “loyal opposition” concept is predicated on a maturity and sense of restraint that is nowhere to be found in radical politics. There is something profoundly adolescent in the notion that transformation to a better society must involve the destruction of the present and the subjugation of its occupants: in essence, the current progressive standard-bearers of the Democrat party really and truly never grew up.
It’s high time for conservatives to get serious and take out the “loyal opposition”
Any real semblance of that ceased to exist a long time ago. It was all but gone in the Clinton era other than a thin mask of faux patriotism. Under 0bama they have burned the mask and make little pretense that they care for anything of the America of our founders.
I doubt that.
