"At least the far-left progressives were honest. They genuinely despised the mid-century American liberals, whom they viewed simply as another species of bourgeois imperialists. This is another one of the reasons I dislike the term "progressive." Why should I call myself by the name preferred by deluded radicals who despised the New Deal and the Great Society liberals I admire?"
Honest indeed. Finally a spokesman for American liberalism admits that they are not part of the Left. If only they would admit that "the Center" is just a code-word for mainstream conservatism, then they might be just as honest. Just so you know, those "deluded radicals" are the only reason there was a New Deal, which was FDR's way of avoiding a real revolution---and LBJ was an imperialist pig.
