Rational Discourse: Neoleftist Utopian, Deviant Ideologies, Moral Malignancy, Fellow Travelers
RECEIVED Wed., Nov. 9, 2005
Dear Editor,
Mr. Black's incoherent leftist rant is eclipsed only by his naked and abject hypocrisy [“Page Two,” Nov. 4]. He accuses conservatives of actively delighting "in hating fellow Americans and blaming half the population directly for all and any problems" while doing exactly the same thing in his article relative to his opinion regarding conservatives. Mr. Black has no clothes!
Let us look in the mirror of truth. Mr. Black is a neoleftist utopian who clings to moral relativism as the key ingredient to understanding the meaning of life. This makes it convenient for him and his ilk to find sympathy, tolerance, and acceptance of deviant ideologies such as Marxism, suicidal pacifism, anarchic chic, equivocating multiculturalism, and whatever ideology the mavens of social fashion may deem as admirable. Conversely, moral relativism affords him the fig leaf to be outraged at any ideological opinions labeled as unfashionable, i.e., his severe and totally untrue criticism of conservatives as the voice of a new McCarthyism.
The Democratic Party is now controlled by those infected with this same moral malignancy. This is why members of that party can never be honest with the American people. If they were, the Democratic Party would become extinct.
These truths are self-evident. All one need do to see it is to make a moral commitment to objective truth seeking. Unfortunately for Mr. Black, he is left wanting and advocating a mindset of moral hypocrisy that has shown historically to be the pavement on the road to hell. He and his fellow travelers must be resisted totally. Rest assured, they will be.

[Louis Black responds: Dear Vance, thank you so much for helping me make my point. I hate no Americans. I hate no Republicans simply because they are Republicans. I believe in the two-party system. When Democrats gerrymandered or redistricted against Republicans I protested. One can disagree with others' ideas, policies, and tactics without hating or demonizing those with whom you disagree. Rather than the name-calling you delight in, I celebrate the differences and disagreements among Americans, that is until one side feels disenfranchising all those they disagree with is acceptable in a constitutional republic. The founding fathers felt that our government would be best if it came out of the clash of differing beliefs. I adhere to that and would feel equal despair if the country were being run by an intolerant leftist majority. I despair at the viciousness on all sides in modern American political discourse. "[F]ellow travelers" – that was a nice touch, making clear your contempt for the ideas upon which this country was built and for which, at its best, it still stands.]
