As if following up on my earlier post about wishing for income equality, Dennis Prager writes:
Being on the left means that you divide the world between rich and poor much more than you divide it between good and evil. For the leftist, the existence of rich and poor — ” inequality” — is what constitutes evil. More than tyranny, inequality disturbs the left, including the non-Communist left. That is why so many on the left fell in love with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and, at other times, with every left-wing dictator. Non-leftists see these men as thugs; much of the left sees them as fighters for equality. Yes, leftist dictators extinguish freedom and steal land and businesses from the rich — but none of this disturbs most of the left.
How far will the current strain of American leftist go to impose their ideals? According to polls, 30% of the Wall Street Occupiers would use violence.
President Obama would be wise to steer clear of this group instead of embracing them…but I have never found the president to be wise.
