The Left, a moral compass? Yes some of them did have it once; but not since the days of Humphrey and McGovern.

There are any number of persons on the left that have maintained their moral compass, notably those, such as Hitchens and Rosenbaum, who have discovered that it won't do to define your politics by reflexive opposition to what you have defined as the "other side." The tendency here is to reduce politics to an easy-to-comprehend shorthand: "there is evil in the status quo, I'm against evil, so I'm for changing the status quo. Those not for changing the status quo are so because they support evil." It is a child's argument, and its currency is due to a profoundly anti-intellectual tendency on the left and a propensity for mass appeal by dumbing-down. Change "evil" in the above credo to "class self-interest" and you have the totality of the postmodern roots of current leftist doctrine - something so oversimplified it would gag even Marx. Theorists love it.

Gee, can you tell me when the last time the left even had a moral compass ?

[lonestar]

Lost their moral compass? How do you lose what you've never had?

Humphrey and McGovern, the wild-eyed radicals of their day, now they seem like such well-mannered guardians of the constitution by comparison with today's nutcases of the Demoncrap party.

My Mom says that FDR lost it.
