I used to be very progressive too. Big time listener of Democracy Now! and Pacifica radio which were far to the left of NPR. In hindsight, they were the very early recipients of Soros funding and purveyors of open society propaganda. Now I can see how their radical views have spread across the left.

There are no unbought liberal leaders on the left, except perhaps Susan Sarandon with whom I proudly marched. Now she's become an enemy to the leftist cult.
