The Left and left holding the bag.

Collectivism, and its derivative forms of communism, socialism, and fascism are historically, and demonstratively evil. Collectivism is part and parcel of leftism, the belief that the world runs on a binary, oppressor vs. oppressed system. Though leftism in its myriad forms has been responsible for the deaths of millions, and impoverishment of billions, is nonetheless attractive to a large section of the population. It\'s been around for a long time and has secreted itself into every nook and cranny of our society. Its ubiquitous makes it seem normal, even moral. It trades on deception, making bad things seem much like a good things. It exploits the natural needs of people to feel good about themselves, and allows for feeling good without actually doing good. Leftists tend to see only the superficial benefits of what they do, and rarely explore the second and third order of consequences to their policies. 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. It\'s the Left\'s casual, well-meaning supporters who are among those left paying the price. They are among those left holding the bag, without ever realizing they were asking for it all along.

Now that Hamas is killing Jews just for being Jews, will that make a difference to those on the left who sympathize with Palestine, but also claim to hate Nazis? If they\'ve been lied to about the rocket that missed its target and landed in a hospital parking lot, what else might have they been lied to about?

For some casual leftists, the attack on Israel was a bridge too far. Their support for liberal causes end at killing innocent men, women and children.
