How can progressive, liberal Democrats continue with their hostile government takeovers, bribery, cronyism, profligate spending and coddling of terrorists in the current political environment? The answer is quite simple, really. As the great Michael Savage was first to point out, liberalism is a mental disorder. Progressive liberalism is so insidious, often times the afflicted are caught unawares. It is bipartisan, infecting Republicans and Democrats alike ever since America's post-Civil War industrial expansion and continuing to this very day.
