It's worse than you could ever imagine. I know one of the founders of the modern Left. He's a 60ish professor at UT. He likes to say he hates politics but he is extremely political.
He hates humanity. He views humanity as a plague upon the earth and hopes one day for the microbes to mutate and take us all out.
Hate is the heart of the left. They live on the dark side and death is their goal. Most of them are unconscious about it but the leaders know exactly what they want to bring about. That's why they are against the war on terrorism. Terrorists are their friend.
This sounds simplistic I know. It is the simple truth.
Left = UT
