"...what is it exactly that they are progressing towards?"

Another good point. Some of you will remember a rambunctious character by the name of Gary Hart. Sen. Hart was always babbling and moaning with wild-eyed gaze about "new ideas" as if their very newness was what made them true. If you had asked any conventional U.S. Democrat at that time (the 1980s)what they were struggling forwards to, I doubt anyone would have spelled out the scenario of the actual 8 years of the Clinton reign. Had Gary Hart won the presidency presumably his ideas would now be old and, therefore, false and would need to be changed. This is a well-known fallacy and is very common in the thinking and discourse of so-called liberals. The deeper you probe, the fuzzier it gets.

"That's an interesting point. The most famous 'conspiracy theory,' known to most adult Americans, is some version of the Jim Garrison-Oliver Stone account of the JFK assassination. 'Right-wing extremists' in the CIA and Pentagon conspiring to off Kennedy. That's a...uh...liberal conspiracy theory entertained even by...uh...white-wine-swilling, quiche-eating, pampered Ivy Leaguers. Another curiosity from the liberal hall of self-contradiction. Do they teach logic in colleges anymore?

Exactly. Then we have the aforementioned Chomsky, high-priest of the extremist left in his tower in MIT operating under the fevered delusion that the U.S. of the past 50+ years has been an extension of the Nazi regime.
