There are times in the lives of individuals and nations when behavior must meet the challenge, even when it is out of character.

Dennis Prager, may he have a speedy and full recovery, often wrote about changes in American thinking. He wrote about conservatives and liberals, each positing a set of ideas and bringing proofs and arguments to support their relative positions. As he noted, conservatives and liberals could communicate and even be friends. I am sure that Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill shared a few glasses of whiskey together. But then something happened on the liberal side. Liberals disappeared and were replaced by a new breed, the “leftist.” Prager noted that one could not argue or debate with a leftist. His views were fixed, had no relationship with history or truth, and always took an absolutist view of subjects they discussed. It is a testament to his analysis that we know the views of leftists without ever having to meet them. In the old days, a liberal might be for limited abortion but very supportive of the Second Amendment. No longer, they are all drones, made in the same university factory. Grab a lefty, and you are all but guaranteed the following positions:

- Israel made a genocide in Gaza

- All of the land “from the river to the sea” belongs to Palestinians, though there never was a state of “Palestine”

- Donald Trump is a racist, fascist dictator who has usurped the power of the Constitution

- Somalis, Mexicans, and others have complete rights to be in the United States and receive welfare from government agencies

- Whites are the source of all the problems in the world

- The U.S. is not a force for good in the world but is rather evil, as are other Western countries

- Protesters murdered in Iran? What protesters

- There are numerous genders, and trans is real

- We are moments away from........
