Odyssey from the LeftHooray For College FootballH/T to Maha Rushi who had this on his show today. The OpEd here from the SanFran Chronicle (not a stronghold of the VRWC) describes a mental odyssey that took the writer out of the left, into the world of reality:
Nightfall, Jan. 30. Eight-million Iraqi voters have finished risking their lives to endorse freedom and defy fascism. Three things happen in rapid succession. The right cheers. The left demurs. I walk away from a long-term intimate relationship. I'm separating not from a person but a cause: the political philosophy that for more than three decades has shaped my character and consciousness, my sense of self and community, even my sense of cosmos.I'm leaving the left -- more precisely, the American cultural left and what it has become during our time together.I choose this day for my departure because I can no longer abide the simpering voices of self-styled progressives -- people who once championed solidarity with oppressed populations everywhere -- reciting all the ways Iraq's democratic experiment might yet implode.Nice bit of writing and thinking here - the writer also called and discussed this some more with Rush also. Pretty good nerve for still living in SanFran - possibly the ultimate center of the moonbat habitat.
