WHY THERE ARE SO MANY JERKS ON THE LEFT

Greg Gutfield puts it in a nutshell:

...the maxim of the typical lefty:

if you think globally, you can screw everyone else locally.


Those grand ideals - evident in greater concern for the world - always disappear when it's closer to home, where it matters most. Anyone who has ever had a lefty roommate knows this: he will protest against greed, but he won`t pony up for the groceries. He will rail against injustice, but he will never clean the bathroom - which is a real injustice.


I can certainly attest to that- as one of those jerks for much of my life. As a matter of fact, in my experience with the left, the louder you scream about caring for the world, the less you care about how you treat the people you interact with yourself everyday. For some reason, it usually just seems to work that way.
