Gilles Deleuze
“A leftist government doesn't exist because being on the left has nothing to do with governments.”
Gilles Deleuze

Christopher Hitchens
“There is a tendency on the left, to think if someone in any way disagrees with the left it must be for the lowest possible reason and if you found the lowest possible motive you have found the right one. Theres this whole culture of no one would leave us or quarrel with us if they weren't a sellout. It is actually a very sick mentality and very widespread.”
Christopher Hitchens

George Orwell
“When I talk to anyone or read the writings of anyone who has any axe to grind, I feel that intellectual honesty and balanced judgement have simply disappeared from the face of the earth. Everyone’s thought is forensic, everyone is simply putting a “caseâ€� with deliberate suppression of his opponent’s point of view, and, what is more, with complete insensitiveness to any sufferings except those of himself and his friends.”
George Orwell, Facing Unpleasant Facts: 1937-1939

Richard Rorty
“If we look to people who make no mistakes, who were always on the right side, who never apologized for tyrants or unjust wars, we shall have few heroes and heroines”
Richard M. Rorty, Achieving Our Country: Leftist Thought in Twentieth-Century America

Dennis Prager
“It is America (or Israel) at war, not just any war, that disturbs the Left. That is why there have been few demonstrations, and none of any size, against the mass murder of Sudan’s blacks; the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, or Congo; China’s crushing of Tibet; or Saddam Hussein’s wars against Iran, Kuwait, and Iraq’s own Kurds. Though there are always admirable individual exceptions, the Left has not been nearly as vocal about these large scale atrocities as it is about America’s wars. One additional reason is that, in general, atrocities committed by non-whites rarely interest the Left—and therefore ‘world opinion,â€� which is essentially the same thing as Leftist opinion.”

Gilles Deleuze
“The best one can hope for is a government favorable to certain claims and demands from the Left.”
Gilles Deleuze

Dennis Prager
“From Marx until today, victim groups have played an indispensable role in Leftist success. Without victim groups, the Left cannot succeed.”
Dennis Prager, Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph

Dennis Prager
“The number of innocents killed by Leftist movements dwarfs the numbers killed by any other movement in a comparable period of time at any time in history, and certainly in the modern world. The Church, a favorite target of the Left, hardly competes. For example, in its nearly five hundred years of existence the Inquisition killed approximately five thousand people. And that ended more than five hundred years ago, when barbarity was the norm.”
Dennis Prager, Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph

Dennis Prager
“The Left, which dominates the media, the arts, and most of intellectual life in the West, has rendered criticism of Christianity and Zionism acceptable, even laudable, but criticism of Islam unacceptable. Why has the Left done this? Because the enemy (radical Islam) of my enemy (America and Israel) is my friend, and because the Muslim world is regarded as the underdog vis-à-vis powerful America and Israel, and the Left supports what it perceives as the underdog.”
Dennis Prager, Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph

Dennis Prager
“No significant American group hates like the left does. If you differ with them â€� from global warming, to race relations, to same-sex marriage, to the extent of rape on college campuses â€� they will humiliate, defame, libel and try to economically crush you.”
Dennis Prager, A Dark Time in America

Dennis Prager
“Since neither black animosity nor the Left’s falsehood of “racial tensionsâ€� is based on the actual behavior of the vast majority of white Americans, nothing white America can do will affect the perceptions of many black Americans or of the leftist libel.”
Dennis Prager, From Rage to Responsibility: Black Conservative Jesse Lee Peterson and America Today

Dennis Prager
“The left is far more concerned with attacking America â€� its alleged racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia and economic inequality â€� than with fighting Islamism.”
Dennis Prager, A Dark Time in America

Kristian Williams
“Curiously, the surveillance, harassment, infiltration, arrests, sabotage, slander, disruption, and petty bullshit endured by the left is only rarely matched by the level police action against the right. Even during World War II, when the U.S. was at war with Nazi Germany and allied with the Soviet Union, the NYPD still invested more resources in infiltrating the Communist Party than in monitoring fascists. Likewise, though the FBI eventually initiated COINTELPRO-WHITE HATE against the Klan—an effort that lasted seven years and included infiltration, sabotage, snitch-jacketing, electronic surveillance, black-bag jobs, and petty harassment â€� 98 percent of COINTELPRO files concerned leftist movements.”
Kristian Williams, Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America

Dennis Prager
“As colleges and universities became dominated by the Left, tolerance and diversity fell by the wayside. The rising hostility toward liberal values like free speech has made entire college campuses unsafe places for people who align with the Right.”
Dennis Prager, No Safe Spaces

Dennis Prager
“Who, pray tell, is for leaving the naked unclothed and the hungry without food? Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism advocated caring for the helpless millennia before Marx was born. So, when the Jewish, Christian, or secular Left tell us repeatedly that they are for clothing the naked, they really mean two other things: (1) Their opponents are not for feeding the hungry and clothing the naked and (2) Only those who affirm Left-wing policies are.”
Dennis Prager, Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph

Dennis Prager
“The United States is the least racist multiracial country in the world. It is probably the best place in the world for a black to live—which is why almost no black Americans have decided to leave America for anywhere, including black Africa; and it is why more black Africans have immigrated to America than were sent over as slaves. But the day most blacks acknowledge how little racism there is in America is the day they stop automatically voting Democrat. It is impossible to deny the fact that the less that blacks, women, Latinos, gays, and Muslims see themselves as victims of America, the less the appeal of the Democratic Party.”
