The love of freedom is actually an aberration.

I recall asking the late eminent liberal historian Arthur Schlesinger, in a public forum in Los Angeles in the late 1970s, if he would say that America was, all things considered, a better, i.e., more moral, society than Soviet society. He said he would not.

Virtually every agnostic lives like an atheist, living completely irreligious lives

Leftism hides under an intellectual veneer, but underneath it is all emotion

The idea that you earn things - that you earn respect, that you earn income, responsibility. the vote, punishment... these ideas are anathema to the liberal mind.

Every age has found some alternative to American values appealing. The number of Western intellectuals enamored of fascism and all the various expressions of Marxism was legion.

The Left has always been anti-religious, and especially anti-Christian.
