What they’re teaching in universities is, that the U.S. is evil and that conservatism is the cause of that evil.
Salon is a beacon of Leftist thought - w/ hate for religious liberty and the 2nd amendment.
In "Leftism as Psychopathy," John Ray, M.A., Ph.D., argues that moral imbecility is a primary characteristic of psychopathy before briefly outlining some of its other defining features: "(the psychopath) is unmoved by brutality (except to enjoy perpetrating it); he has no moral or ethical anchors or standards; he is deeply (but discreetly) in love with himself (narcissism) so secretly despises others and thinks they are fit only to be dominated and exploited by him and those like him; he is a great manipulator who loves getting others to do his bidding by deception or otherwise; he is the master of the lie and the false pretense but sees no reason to be consistent from occasion to occasion; he will say anything to gain momentary praise or admiration; his only really strongly felt emotions seem to be hate and contempt and he is particularly enraged by those who have what he wants and will be totally unscrupulous in trying to seize what others have for himself. But above all, the psychopath does not seem to be able to tell right from wrong and, as a result, does sometimes commit or connive at murders and other heinous crimes with what seems to be a clear conscience."
In conclusion, said Ray, this analysis seems to me to constitute, by and large, a fairly comprehensive description of your average Left-wing intellectual, particularly of the many intellectuals who did (and often still do) support in various ways the old Soviet system in Russia.
