Loving 'the left'

 

Loving 'the left': Have you noticed that people are beginning to use "the left" and "leftists" when they discuss the opponents of the American way of life who have taken over the Democrats? It is a healthy trend.

For too long, leftists in America have gotten away with calling themselves "liberal." As Dennis Prager writes in his great book Still the Best Hope, "[m]any people who hold Left-wing views still prefer to call themselves 'liberal' but their views are indeed Left-wing." As he points out, John Kennedy was called a liberal – but Kennedy was for a strong national defense and for tax cuts to grow the American economy.
