Although the big word on the left is 'compassion,' the big agenda on the left is dependency.

Helping those who have been struck by unforeseeable misfortunes is fundamentally different from making dependency a way of life.

The word 'racism' is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything - and demanding evidence makes you a 'racist.'

The more people who are dependent on government handouts, the more votes the left can depend on for an ever-expanding welfare state.

Without a moral framework, there is nothing left but immediate self-indulgence by some and the path of least resistance by others. Neither can sustain a free society.

The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.
