You've heard me express sympathy for the Left before. The Left has a package of ideas that seem to fail every time they are tried.
One of my sports loving friends expressed sympathy for the Left after I offered him a metaphor.
Think of the last century as a soccer game. Pro-commerce won the game 10-0 over the Anti-commerce Left.
The Left had every advantage. The Left had a team, they had team colors, a team uniform, a team band and a team mascot. The referees, the announcers and most of the fans were Lefties. Even the soccer players in training and the back-up players were Lefties.
In fact, the pro-commerce side didn't even have a team all they had were a bunch of stray members of the audience running out on the field to play the game.
Pro-commerce still won 10-0.
That metaphor is so accurate, even my sports loving friend felt sympathy for the Left.
