One cannot expect more of the cultists called "Progressives." They never have spouted the ideas of liberty anyway, and they certainly have done everything within their human ability and lust for money and control to substitute power for themselves over individual liberty for their fellow citizens, but this is ridiculous that, in America, nowhere have been heard the voices of liberty, strong enough to drown out those of the cultists--not even among those claiming to be "conserving" something valuable!
From the Russell Kirk web site:
"So in our time, as Yeats saw,- Russell Kirk
'Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.'"Lacking conviction that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, the captains and the kings yield to the fierce ideologues, the merciless adventurers, the charlatans and the metaphysically mad. And then, truly, when the stern and righteous God of fear and love has been denied, the Savage God lays down his new commandments."

As opposed to the rat wing of the Uniparty, the pubbie wing isn’t very comfortable with power. It is metaphorically scared of its shadow, of supporting any measure that could possibly enrage the always enraged Left and their media.
