LR Podcast: Left and Left Holding the Bag

Corrupt politicians use leftist appeal to people's sense of altruism to achieve power. When the bill finally comes due for their reckless policies, they are long gone.

Quick Thought: Individualism is the moral way to deal with people.

It should come as no surprise then, that a focus on group rather than individual identity is paramount. Also, it is not surprising that collective punishment is part of the leftist way.
