I think you give “The Left,” even “The Crazy Left” far too much credit. First, I’ll grant that there is a leadership cadre in the left that is much as you describe, though it would be too rich an amalgam to say that anyone leftist leader held all those ideological positions. Most of those who side with The Left are simply in a perpetual childhood; they rarely think, they feel. The feel that if someone wants to have sex, they should be able to without societal constraints or consequences. They feel sorry for the woman who has had her life inconvenienced by the consequence of her decision to engage in sexual intercourse and feel that she should be able to remove the mass of tissue that is inconvenient to her. They don’t have many nor much like children because children are expensive and inconvenient. They feel like people who commit crimes are either mentally diseased or are agreived by their social or political status and their resort to crime was either the result of something beyond their control or the result of their grievances against society. Consequently criminals should be either rehabilitated from their disease or allowed to be free because their grievances justify their criminal behavior. Most are simply frightened of guns, having little or no familiarity with them, and can’t understand why anyone should have such frightening things. Try to get a definition of an “assault weapon” out of a gun opponent; black and scary is about as close as they can get, and, of course, all of them are “automatic,” though they have no real idea what an automatic weapon is.
In other words, you can sum up the ideology of most of those who support the Left with a three year old’s screech of, “I DON’T LIKE IT!”
