If you want to understand the Left, most of
what you need to know can be summarized thus: The Left hates inequality, not
evil.
As one raised as a New York Jew (who,
moreover, attended an Ivy League university) and therefore liberal -- it took me
a while to recognize this fatal moral characteristic of the Left. But the moment
I realized it, it became immoral not to oppose leftist values.
It is neither possible nor virtuous to be
devoid of hatred. Even those who think it is always wrong to hate must hate
hatred. The question therefore is not whether one hates but what (or whom) one
hates.
For example, on the basis of the value
system that I hold -- the Judeo-Christian -- I try to confine my hating to evil.
By evil I mean the deliberate infliction of unjust suffering on the undeserving;
cruelty is the best example of such evil.
