Leftist progressives are marxists. Most of them would also qualify as fascists, but thats another discussion. They are proud of what they are, they just push back when we name the name because its a way of trying to keep us off balance.
They are all socialists, and they know it and they are proud of it. If you call them that they’ll squeal, but among themselves its something to be proud of, and something they promote with every breath. Again, they only deny it as a way of messing with peoples’ heads.
Some socialists may not know who Marx was but its a cinch that every Obamist is a marxist when they aren’t Islamists, and some are both. And proud of it. They only deny it to mess with you.
As for the patriotism thing, its an inside joke with them. They have complete contempt for the constitution, and they hate everything America stands for. But they love forcing people to back down from questioning their patriotism. “Are you questioning my patriotism?” “Uh, no, sorry, I never meant to question your patriotism...”
Making us apologize for questioning their patriotism while they attack America every waking moment of every waking day is a favorite hobby for marxists, islamists, leftwing fascists, self-styled “anarchist” street thugs, and the whole crazy stew.
Good post.
