The left depicts itself as champion of freedom and defender of the oppressed. Yet, for reasons that seem contrary to what common sense would suggest, the left seems to have developed a fondness for cruel and oppressive dictatorships like that of the Castro brothers.

Seems that this apparent contradiction can be explained by the fact that many on the left have a visceral distain for their own country. Over the last thirty years or so the left has fought a culture war against the very country that nurtured freedom and fought for the oppressed, the United States.
