The left is irrational. Fixated on health, they encourage promiscuous, high risk sex acts, including homosexuality. Adamantly opposed to tobacco and even third hand smoke (the residue left from second hand smoke), they embrace pot smoking. Willing to fight for a womans right to choose, but opposed to letting her choose to drink a Big Gulp. The list goes on... Whether the issue is health, the environment or minimum wage, the Left is really fixated on power, on control. Viewed in this context, all of their seemingly incongruous positions make sense.
