Self-flagellation seems to be what Americans (particularly those on the left) do. I remember after the King and Bobbie Kennedy assassinations there was endless soul-searching about "what kind of society have we beccome?" As if we were all personally responsible somehow. The left believes in group rights, group politics, and evidently group guilt.

Couldn't agree more.

clearly some sort of psycho-sexual pathology motivate the more extreme elements of the left (and, it must be said, of the black helicopter tinfoil types, too)

"What do the Democrats want? Beats me. I’m not one of those right-wingers who think the left are actively treasonous...

I disagree w/ Steyn on this. The 'Rats ARE treasonous!

You could not be more right

Just look at the lefts incessant preoccupation with apologies and reparations.

Clintoon goes to Africa and apologizes for American slavery.

Slavery is still widely practiced in Africa and the left is more interested in making apologies for the sins of 150 years ago than condemning the evil as it exist today.

For the American left (and European as well) the United States can do no right as long as the Republican Party is in power and the Third World can not be blamed for their multitude of sins against human rights because the wealthy and powerful hegemonic United States some how prevents them from progressing out of their poverty.
