It amaze me when people are so self aware that they can post this.
And this got me thinking about how many self-professed Progressives are extremely hypocritical. Penn and Progressives have no problem excoriating conservatives over greed and their compunction to kill and torture in the name of money for oil, but neglect to recognize what someone like Guzman does for a living and why.
and this
No more so than making a case about conservative ideology by questioning Donald Trump.

Interesting. So you won't mind when I use Rush Limbaugh to characterize conservatives then? I'm free to pick the single most ridiculous position some conservative pundit holds and then claim I've demonstrated that it is highly prevalent among the rest?
YEAH! That's why you are not a conservative, and neither am I. We aren't conservatives because there are qualities among them that we find counterproductive.
Likewise, I don't agree with much of the characteristics prevalent among the Progressive ethos, which is why I'm not one.
In a thread called Hypocrisy and doubletalk, that he started and be totally unaware of how hypocritical he is.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

I think I was quite clear and obvious in my post. If you cannot figure it out maybe you need to learn the definitions of assertion and hypocritical.
While you are doing that you might want to look up self awareness too.
