Why Leftists Feel Entitled to Block Highways, Shut Down Speakers, and Harass Public Officials

When I was in graduate school, I learned a lot about the left.

One lesson was that while most liberals and conservatives abide by society’s rules of order and decency, most leftists do not feel bound to live by these same rules.

I watched the way leftist Vietnam War protesters treated fellow students and professors. I watched left-wing students make “nonnegotiable demands” of college administrations. I saw the Black Panthers engage in violence—including torture and murder—and be financially rewarded by leftists.

Today, we watch leftist mobs scream profanities at professors and deans, and shut down conservative and pro-Israel speakers at colleges. We routinely witness left-wing protesters block highways and bridges, scream in front of the homes of conservative business and political leaders, and surround conservatives’ tables at restaurants while shouting and chanting at them.

Conservatives don’t do these things. They don’t close highways, yell obscenities at left-wing politicians, work to ban left-wing speakers at colleges, smash the windows of businesses, etc.

Why do leftists feel entitled do all these things?

Many are being paid by the liberal rich, including Soros. They will cause as much disruption until Trump is gone and the Democrats are in control again. It is time for serious investigations and exposure of their crimes and misdeeds, all the way back to high school!

I just can't even.

The problem is that "leftists" have "rejected" Judeo-Christian values? Right. What are those, specifically? I'm so tired of this obviously false meme.

HALF of Americans are "Left". We are a majority population of Christians... roughly 70-75% of Americans are Christian. So, it's fair to say MOST "left" leaning Americans are also Christian.

Just how in the world do people keep squaring the circle when it is so GLARINGLY obvious? Prager keeps getting away with these old tired memes. YES... the people blocking roads and censoring speakers are reprehensible... but the reason they do it is not that they aren't "Christiany" enough.

Also, the people doing this represent a TINY portion of the left leaning Americans. We don't brand all Conservative Christians as royal a-h*les because of what the Westboro Baptist Church does... so how does Pragers logic get a pass here?

There are explanations, and there are reasons and answers.. but Prager is dead wrong in his conclusions. He is literally making it up as he goes.
