OPINION:
The left’s inability to speak the truth pulls the curtain away (“Definition of woman befuddles Democrats,” Page 1, April 11). Any fool can plainly see now, as Li’l Abner used to say, that common sense has no place in their thinking. Nor has it for some time.
My college roommate and I were Democrats 62 years ago. He says back then it was reasonable to be a Democrat; today it is not. What he means is that our right-wing and left-wing no longer exist. All we have now are a right-wing and a wrong wing warring with each other at a time when deadlier enemies lurk outside.
Our way of constitutional self-rule only works when our right and our left alternate between majority party and loyal opposition, exchanging roles at regular intervals. For that reason, when we vote in November let’s help real Democrats purge their party and ready it for rescue from its dead wrong wing.
