The mirror they refuse to look into.There is a particular kind of intellectual dishonesty
that does not know it is dishonest. It wraps itself in the language of compassion, hides its power hunger behind slogans of liberation, and mistakes its own cultural preferences for universal moral law. American progressivism, in its current form as embodied by the Democrat Party, has become a nearly perfect specimen of this condition.
The clichés, observations, and aphorisms collected here are not talking points manufactured in a think tank.
