This brief guide to leftist orthodoxy is prompted by current reading (to be discussed in a future post):
| GOOD | BAD | |
| Marxist socialist mass-murderers (Stalin, Mao) | National socialist mass-murderer (Hitler) | |
| Socialism | Capitalism | |
| Homosexuality & gender confusion | Unalloyed heterosexuality | |
| Shacking up (in any combination of sexes) | Traditional marriage | |
| Female | Male | |
| Persons of color (but not “yellow”) | Whites | |
| Dribbles & scribbles | Representational art | |
| Noise, dissonance, atonality | Melody, harmony, rhythm | |
| Public schools (except for one’s own children) | Home schooling | |
| Illegal immigrants (especially when they work cheap) | Voter ID laws | |
| Laid back (lazy) | Ambitious | |
| Spontaneous (impulsive) | Disciplined | |
| Europe, Islam | America (before the left seized it) | |
| Big government, high taxes | Small government, low taxes | |
| Political correctness | Free (but non-treasonous) speech | |
| “Disadvantaged” criminals | Cops | |
| Killing babies | Killing killers |
