No. I think it’s because leftists are quietly (or not so quietly) sympathetic to the ideas of tyrannical regimes.

Basically, they all believe in a Master/Slave setup. There should be
a permanent ‘ruling’ class, and everyone else is subject to their
dictates. They are absurdly foolish to believe they’ll end up being in
the ruling class once the revolution is over.

Just ask millions of Chinese ‘intellectuals’.

I should have been clearer. I meant the political reconciliation that some “conservatives” are talking about regarding Obama. They hope that Obama’s hidden conservatism will emerge. Hah! This guy and his cronies clearly want to destroy the U.S. system and reset it to achieve some vacuous, political dream (with them in permanent control).

Speaking of which, has anyone considered that Hillary’s now-famous button was purposely mistranslated by some wag in the State department?

Overcharge indeed!
