The Left Leaves Another Behind
Excellent article from YAFLtm (Yet Another Former Liberal): Leaving the Left. Here are some of the many good quotes.
In short, I became a card-carrying liberal, although I never actually got a card. (Bookkeeping has never been the left's strong suit.)
And:
When I casually offered that the surviving relatives of the more than 20 million people murdered on orders of Joseph Stalin might not find "evil'" too strong a word, the room took on a collective bemused smile of the sort you might expect if someone had casually mentioned taking up child molestation for sport.
Plus:
A left averse to making common cause with competent, self- determining individuals -- people who guide their lives on the basis of received values, everyday moral understandings, traditional wisdom, and plain common sense -- is a faction that deserves the marginalization it has pursued with such tenacity for so many years.
