But can progressives? Just as Mr. Long's conservative nostalgia for a bygone world made him a sucker for Ronald Reagan's bogus "conservatism," will our progressive PC agendas leave us hapless victims of a second straight Democrat Trojan horse? Timeo Democratos et dona ferentes. I most fear the Democrats when they're bringing gifts--especially PC novelty ones. Obama should have taught us: the gift of a black horse is no guarantee of a safe progressive ride. Nor is the novelty that in Hillary, Democrats will offer us a mare. Blinded by political correctness, progressives have proved dangerously inept judges of progressive horseflesh. And Hillary Clinton is one gift horse we urgently--no, desperately--need to look in the mouth.
In applying the straightforward logic of PC categories, we progressives overlook--to our deadly peril--the far more twisted "pretzel logic" of political cynics. Especially of plutocratic ones. And I know of no better phrase to describe today's Democratic Party leadership than "plutocratic political cynics." See, in the innocent childhood world of PC liberals (too lacking in adult skepticism to count as real progressives), the logic is simple. Blacks and women have historically been oppressed, so if given political power, they will act as champions of all oppressed people--especially oppressed people of their own kind. A certain Barack Obama, bosom buddy of Wall Street, AFRICOM, the police state, and draconian drug laws that mostly harm blacks, should be a permanent poster child for that starry-eyed PC logic's dismal real-world failure. In perversely real plutocrat logic--the type animating Obama's billionaire patron Penny Pritzker--the only minorities allowed political power, are self-seekers willing to betray the oppressed for their own and plutocrats' heartless aims. And who'll ruthlessly exploit their oppressed PC status as a blinding tool of betrayal. Enter Hillary Clinton.
