* This is a significant arena of Leftist damage. Leftism morally confuses otherwise decent people. How else is one to explain Spielberg’s comment? How else can one explain New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman writing that the only reason the members of Congress gave Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing ovations was that they were “bought and paid for by the Israel lobby”? Why would a self-identifying Jew write an out-and-out anti-Semitic statement? Because of Leftism. Leftism not only poisons institutions; it poisons individuals.
