Based on the recent NSA revelations the professional left

[Harmony Blue]

isn't taking the heat. The DC bubble that the corporate Dems have been in for so long has shattered and they have only for themselves to blame. Of course they will try to blame the "professional left". But that dog isn't hunting anymore....

As a member of the professional left though, it will be my duty to pick up the pieces and try to move the country in a progressive, leftist manner. For now, let the Center right Dems cry foul but in reality we know that the real transgressions against our citizens happened well before the revelations.

2. Already been tried, they are pretending libertarians are now extreme leftists

that somehow worship Ron Paul and Greenwald. No idea what a lefty libertarian looks like...they love social medicine one day, then hate it the next day? Absolute lunacy, but as you point out the mainstream has run out of talking points. They are now running on vaporware.

8. A lefty libertarian looks like me

I am to the left of most Democrats on social issues. I am to the right of 98 percent of the population on my interpretation of the Constitution.

Well, that's quite some statement "Rex".
It's quite neat how you bowtie the issue.
Tucker Carlson couldn't do better.
Congrats.

The DLC was PROUD of that whole "free trade" crap.

Or do you operate a media blog?

Otherwise, you, a poster on DU, are not nor have never been a member of the "Professional Left".

6. There's an effort to wipe the Bush Years from history....

They did the same thing with his father.

To listen to the Beltway we went from Nixon to Carter to Reagan to Clinton to Obama with nothing in between.

Hell,...Ford would have been forgotten if he hadn't been clumsy.

7. Let's just say there is no joy in mudville, i.e. the spying defenders/apologists crowd

There are a few of those I have noticed who seem to be taking a break from Du and I'm not seeing their posts today. I guess I can understand why. lol
