Hardly "Progressive"...Hardly Even Decent

...OK, maybe some of you on the "progressive" (socialist) end of politics really "want to make a better world."

Maybe some of you "care about others" in a truly noble and altruistic way.
Maybe you believe in "sharing" (and using your own daily behavior as an example?).
Maybe you really believe in "compromise" and "talking to those we disagree with" (dictatorships who wish to destroy you, your family, and your fellow citizens – obviously, compromise and "talking with" conservatives is not on your menu).

Maybe...

Why then do so many of you simply project yourselves as cocky, pampered, arrogant, self-righteous phony snobs and control freaks who seem to really think your shit doesn't stink?

...work on that...

and maybe others will take your ideas more seriously.
