Good Faith Isn't a Quality of the Left

By Rich Kozlovich

On June 6, 2022 Derek Hunter published this subscription Townhall.com article, How Can Anyone Negotiate with a Democrat?  He starts out saying:

There is no doubt that the current president of the United States is a moron. Yes, he is suffering from senility too, but he's been a stupid man his entire life. So when he says something just so amazingly stupid or tone-deaf, you have to wonder if it's because of the senility or the stupidity. The answer is usually "a little from column A, a little from column B," but not always. Sometimes he does what all Democrats do, which falls firmly into column C: they are simply unserious people who lie to the public every time it advantages them.

After that he gets really serious by making this observation:

Imagine going into negotiations with someone in good faith, and as you're walking in the door, you see them talking to reporters. You nod hello, they wave and smile, and as you pass by, you hear them say, "I'm about to sit down with Hitler Jr. over here. This pile of garbage is not trustworthy in any way, shape, or form. I hate him and wish ill on him and his family. May he forever rot in hell.".........That's what Joe Biden does every single time.

This is the pattern of all leftist movements.  Whether it involves green energy, pesticides, social services or whatever their philosophical flavor of the moment may be, they do not negotiate in good faith.  One speaker at a conference I attended told how he tried to negotiate with green activists on some issue or other, and just when he thought they came to an agreement, the next day they would come back and rebuff what they'd already agreed to.  That was the pattern over and over again leaving him with the view negotiating with these people is a waste of time.  

You can not, and will not, find harmony with leftist misfits and activists.  They're self-righteousness is unassailable, and there's no real command and control structure. As soon as you come to an agreement with one of these groups, one of the other groups within that philosophical structure will scream and yell how horrible that agreement is, even attacking their fellow activists, declaring the agreement will doom the world....doom it I tell you!  

Remember when we were told the world would be a burnt cinder by now because of "anthropogenic global warming"?  I guess we missed that doom!  Also, prediction isn't their strong suit either.  The left almost has a monopoly on being wrong.  However, just in case you haven't noticed:  They're really good at hyperbole.  Facts, history, actual science, consistency of thought? Meh, not so much. 

Their whole concept of reality is one predicated on intellectual and moral corruption.  Starting with the French Revolution, along with the communist revolutions of the 20th century, and right up until now, intellectual corruption is the one defining characteristic they all have in common, along with a stunning lack of human compassion leading to mass murder.  In The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression the authors outline the disaster communism wrought around the world:

"terror, torture, famine, mass deportations, and massacres. Astonishing in the sheer detail it amasses, the book is the first comprehensive attempt to catalogue and analyze the crimes of Communism over seventy years."

That came to a provable 100 million people murdered by communists, and actually, it's probably a lot more.  But leftism appears in many manifestations, including the environmental movement, which didn't really get started until the 1960's with the ban on DDT.   The death toll for that could be 100 million alone, and that's not including all the other demands they've made that's caused sickness and death, and that's still going on.  That comes to well over 200 million people who've either been murdered or died unnecessarily because of leftism, a secular religion, and the green movement is functionally genocidal.

“They hate us, the humans, they consider us selfish and sinful creatures who must be controlled by them. I used to live in a similar world—called communism—and I know that it led to the worst environmental damage the world has ever experienced.”  President of the Czech Republic, Vaclac Klaus

Corruption is like cancer that eats away the body.  Political corruption is the cancer that eats away the social structure by using our own values against us.  Good faith isn't part of the left's moral foundation.  

Once we understand that everything becomes much easier in order to cut the cancer out of the system, and be glad about it with no moral equivocations, no hedging and no self recriminations, because the left has no moral foundation other than greed, envy, hate, violence, and to do and say whatever it takes to gain and hold power in order to control everyone's life, all to humanities detriment.  We now have 233 years go history of prove that, and that history is incontestable.

Leftism is like rust.  It never sleeps.
