OPINION:
Democrats and their fellow travelers are much more au courant than us hoi polloi, much smarter and sharper (“Want to destroy democracy? Look to the left,” Web, June 29). They know pretty much everything about us, especially how slow and old-fashioned we are about religion, moral scruples, the “three Rs” and merit-based advancement.
Time has moved on and we are fools if we still believe in our Constitution, crime and punishment and in standards instead of the newer and more evolved progressive idea of no truth. Moral relativism is so elite — didn’t you know?
There are many problems with this idea of a new America, of course, not the least of which is that newly evolved bearers of our burdens have no shame when their ridiculous plans and ideas crumble. And the more frustrated they become, the more autocratic and anti-democratic they become. They simply cannot fathom that they might be wrong. And so it goes on the leftist beat.
