Great post, but some small, but important, quibbles:
A "progressive" is merely a platable word for a "liberal." Call a rose a rose.
Human nature: Until they are perfected, Human Beings are incapable of guiding themselves. They need the intelligencia to guide their every act. This is accomplished by having an all-encompassing State.
Liberal Multiculturalism means you are defined by what you are, not what you do.
And you need to toss in there somewhere that Liberals are judged by intent, not actions.
