The Two Lefts

It is impossible to understand politics in the world today without grasping the fundamental fact that there exist two different lefts. I propose that the two be referred to by everyone as the Stupid Left and the Satanic Left. The two are very different, although they work together. People who are part of the first are simply stupid people. People who are part of the second may in fact be quite shrewd, but are evil and nefarious. There is no third type of leftist.

Over time, the Stupid Left has been losing its numbers, as many Stupid Leftists either become smarter or morph into Satanic Leftists, and so desist from being mere Stupid Leftists.

Interesting.

A subset of the satanic left is their imps. These are the cheerleaders such as Ed Asner and Bill Maher and the leftist media, who hold not power but know the game.

There is no “Left”, they are communists, and they have won.

I used to think that liberals were either stupid or evil. Or both.

I haven't discarded those categories, but I have added a third. They are fools. Biologically intelligent enough. Fairly successful in organizing their own lives. Actually able to follow a chain of logic. Not motivated by the malignity and malice of Marx, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and other leaders of the Left.

But somehow either starting from false assumptions, or failing to engage their brains, perhaps by not paying attention (the famous ‘moderates’), they cannot connect the dots politically or ideologically.

And, in fact, the ‘fools’ will also include the ‘stupid’ and the ‘evil’, for we all answer to God in the end.

I've been talking about the two lefts for years with respect to domestic issues.

I have long held the opinion that there is a sizable contingent within the democrat party that really wishes to tear this country apart. In order to gain strength they disguise their real agenda with soft sounding sound bites and tag lines in order to draw in an uneducated following of people who vote with them based on emotional feelings.

A perfect example is the environmental movement - "Gang Green". They talk about sustainability, clean water, bike paths and planting trees. It sounds good to everyone and the schools push it on gullible youngsters from the time they can read. Underneath it all is the push to establish U.N. Agenda 21 throughout the country. The end goal of that game is the abolition of all privately owned property and eventually all constitutional guarantees of liberty.
