“To be progressive is simply to support the Cathedral and the Synopsis. Today's Synopsis is the lineal descendant of the first type 2 movement in history, the Reformation.

“What we’re seeing here is a power structure which has lost its connection to reality. It’s rulers consider it the most ethical and responsible system of government in human history. In fact, it is morally and intellectually bankrupt.”

“The first step toward a historical perspective on the conflict is to acknowledge that both of these traditions are exactly that: traditions. You did not invent progressivism any more than Billy Joe invented fundamentalism”
