Paul, No need to waste your breath "pleading" with Politically Correct Progressives (PC-Progs) to explain their ideology to you. The roots of their beliefs and attitudes are analyzed and revealed in Willing Accomplices: How KGB Covert Influence Agents Created Political Correctness, Obama's Political Platform, and Destroyed America. It's on Amazon. Willi Muenzenberg, a wily German, understood American "intellectuals" very well. As the KGB's mastermind behind the operation, he designed both the payload that his agents inserted into our culture, and also the attitude they created among the "intellectuals"--elite superiority over the "moron millions." The PC-Prog response: Admit Nothing. Deny Everything. Make Counter-accusations.

Cartwright, You misunderstand those who yearn for "socialism." Humans do not "fall into collectivist" attitudes by default. Politically Correct Progressivism, the anti-American breed of anti-freedom politics, is not Socialist, Communist, Marxist, or collectivist. PC-Progs are anti-American first. But their anti-American belief system is accompanied by the sweetest bait ever devised to lure in narcissicistic fools. They believe they are Smarter Than You, more compassionate, hipper, cooler, more loving, more with-it, Gaiai-loving, healthier, in every way better than you and the moron millions of Americans. The lure is three of the seven deadly sins rolled into one: Greed, Pride, and Envy. www.willingaccomplices.com
