#1 "and I also can't believe what Chomsky tells me"

Yes it's always been a bit tricky trying to believe the words of millionaire communists who travel half-way around the world to be photographed with the leaders of Islamic terror groups.

#3 "True, a leftist can reject any progressive leader's opinion. But when he does so he imperils his sense of self-worth. If progressivism can be challenged on this point, why not that one? And if it can be fairly challenged on many points, then how can it be those who believe in progressivism are enlightened for doing so? If major tenets of orthodox progressivism are open to debate and challenge, doesn't that mean that one's status of intellectual, based almost entirely on one's belief in progressivism, is similarly open to challenge?

That way madness lies, of course. . . ."

What could drive one mad...

#6 It's their religion. As unquestioned in it's truth as the Koran. Hence the sympathy and affiliation.

#7 And its a religion that rewards them (by telling them they're intellectually superior) in this world.
