I have a neighbor...a nice guy... well-known...but he has recently been posting more and more political trash on his facebook page...at first, I was interested, but yesterday I decided to block it because it had gotten to the point that I actually thought that he was losing it. I seriously thought that he was going round-the-bend. He used to be a well-known libertarian, but he recently announced his affiliation with that new progressive group that Russ Feingold is heading.
I had a discussion last night with someone who was extremely well-informed about the California threats after the gay marriage resolution failed. This person rightly likened the intimidation that is occurring in Wisconsin to the sorts of things that happened in California to anyone who publicly opposed the gay marriage resolution.
We are seeing a pattern now on the left when things do not go their way that is very disturbing.

So he was a libertarian and now he wants big government?

“We are seeing a pattern now on the left when things do not go their way that is very disturbing.”

If this course is not changed, it will end with show trials, labor camps, and people being stuffed in ovens. Don’t think it can happen here? That’s what your average German shopkeeper thought in 1927.

In the past, leftists were a small, vocal minority pushing for policy measures that advanced their agenda of eventually achieving a socialist state. They feel like they have achieved dominant status at this point. They are not a majority of the people but they now control all “commanding heights” of the nation except for the military (and they are working on that one.) When the dwindling majority fights back to preserve its freedom, the leftists now are not pushing the existing order to change, they are the existing order. They will fight to the death against the “counter revolution”.

“Progressive” and “libertarian” are polar opposites. Is the guy schizophrenic ?

What is the new group that Feingold is forming? I want to watch for it.

I’m thoroughly ticked off that Feingold, a well known abortion supporter, is teaching at Marquette U. Disgraceful.
