Dennis Prager posted "The Left Is Evil and Liberals Keep Voting for Them" last week at AmericanGreatness. As we head into the next
election, maybe we can try again to explain to our liberal family member and
friends.
. . . liberalism and leftism have
virtually nothing in common. In fact, leftism is the enemy of liberalism—as a handful
of liberals such as former New York Times writer Bari Weiss, former
Young Turk Dave Rubin and others have come to recognize.
The Left has never believed in free
speech and has suppressed dissent wherever it has assumed power. Free speech is
a pillar of liberalism, and it has always embraced dissent.
The Left rejects the anti-racist
ideal of colorblindness. Colorblind is the liberal racial ideal.
The Left supports racial
segregation—such as all-black dorms and separate black graduations. Liberals
have always advocated racial integration.
The Left has always loathed
capitalism. Liberals were always major advocates of capitalism—recognizing that
only capitalism has lifted billions of people out of poverty.
The Left has always been
anti-Israel. Liberals have always been fervent supporters of Israel.
The Left has always held America in
contempt. Liberals loved this country. A liberal wrote “God Bless America.” No
leftist would write such a song.
Leftists want to defund the police.
No liberal does.
The list of liberal-Left
differences is as long as the list of left-wing positions.
Yet, it is liberals who keep the
Left in power. Were it not for the liberal vote, the Left would have no power.
Why do liberals vote Left? Why do
liberals vote for those who have contempt for virtually everything they, the
liberals, hold dear?
The question is all the more apt
given that it is conservatives who protect virtually every liberal value. It is
conservatives who seek to preserve free speech, racial integration, love of
America, a strong Israel and capitalism.
So why do liberals vote for the
Left, for the very people who hold liberals and their values in contempt?
