The instincts of the politically hard left are pretty interesting when you study them.
When I started to get into politics, I really tried to understand the tactical moves of the left. And when I say the left, I mean the hard left, not our family and friends who are liberal, but the hard left who are interested in Executive Power.
Blind loyalty to the letters “D” and “R”
There are some really shocking pieces on the left’s theory of life — if you don’t really pay attention to the news — that just come across as whacky. But if you observe enough of them you can begin to see patterns.
Look at the college campuses and cities run by the left who are putting a middle finger up to Federal policy, a la the Civil War.
And now the left are anxious to have a civil war. They’re not jumping up and down for a shooting war, but they do want a civil war. Jerry Brown, the governor of California, has announced that since they’ve got the scientists and the lawyers, they are ready to fight. He said that California is the future and he’s talking about states’ rights.
Jerry Brown’s state, who is picking a fight with the Federal Government, is $127.2 billion dollars in debt. One state! And this man’s focus is to pick a legal fight with the Federal Government?
It’s not principles that matter, its power that matters. The hard left says people are defined as good or bad by who they support and how they believe in government.
