[Peace-discuss] Fwd: The Evangelical Rebellion by Chris Hedges

[Robert Dunn]

No Matt, Cockburn is going after the American Left which has sold out the working class and became enmeshed with the 
Universities, Identity Politics, Environmentalism, Vegetarianism, Anti-Gun Rights. The very people that the American Left 
should be defending, are now sneered at by the Liberal wing of the Left. Back in the 1800s, evangelicals were the backbone 
of the Left. William Jennings Bryan was one of the biggest examples that Liberals hate to remember. So, where do the common
working class folk go to. Their culture is sneered at by the cognoscenti snobs of American Liberalism and is exploited by the Right. 
Instead of telling the common man that he is stupid for eating meat, not saying the PC things, being religious, why not stand in 
solidarity with him and get out of the comfort of the Ivory Tower and the circus of Identity Politics and whether or not the College 
of Agriculture is "diverse." That pissed me off about the American Left, and that is why I can not identify with the American Left or even
the American Right anymore.
When the American Left does some soul searching, and allows for some self-criticism to take place, growth will happen. Until then, 
we still will not get it because American Leftists refuse to understand the errors of their ways.
A Reformation, (sorry Carl for the analogy) of the American Left is in place.
I could put my thesis on Peace_Discuss for further comment.
Cheers,
Robert Dunn
