No longer a Leftist - - -
American Thinker: Top Ten Reasons I Am No Longer A Leftist
● Leftists see world as divided into: victim, victimizer, or champion of the oppressed.
● Selective outrage (partisan driven) - politically motivated.
● “Love Humanity but Hate People.”
● Visceral hatred of poor whites.
● Toxic bath of irrational hatred for the Judeo-Christian tradition.
● Incessant lying and rabble rousing, without regard for facts nor truth.
● Promote dependency, parasitism and government protected thievery for the benefit of the needy - but really seeking political power.
● Hatred of those with property, liberty, and freedom.
● Always happy to spend other people’s money, but never donate their own time, talent and treasure to serving the poor, the pitiful or the oppressed.

From your link:

Quote:
How far left was I? So far left my beloved uncle was a card-carrying member of the Communist Party in a Communist country. When I returned to his Slovak village to buy him a mass card, the priest refused to sell me one. So far left that a self-identified terrorist proposed marriage to me. So far left I was a two-time Peace Corps volunteer and I have a degree from UC Berkeley. So far left that my Teamster mother used to tell anyone who would listen that she voted for Gus Hall, Communist Party chairman, for president...

I voted Republican in the last presidential election.
The author of that piece of trash was a communist sympathizer who simply returned to the people who have become the biggest Communist sympathizers in America today - the Republican Party.

You people are more than welcome to her.

I was a Communist sympathizer and Socialist when I was younger but have grown hostile to the lie that encompasses Leftist ideology. I realized the level of hatred and violence the Left supports I just don't have in my heart to support.

I was an idealist when I was younger. Idealists tend to be socialists/communists. And I had a lot of ideas for my "perfect world".


Then I realized that not only was my perfect world impossible, but it actually wasn't perfect at all.

People on the left like to complain a lot but never seem to offer any real solutions. They want things to change to fit their ideology but they never seem to actually do anything about it.

I will add that they also tend to hang their hat on the word of academics as gospel - many who have never held a real job in their life. The leading so-called economists that got us into this mess and who are calling for a ban on cash come to mind.

The right wants lower taxes but trickle down will do. Led by the nose.
