Left projects its own violent tendencies on Tea Party
Re: What’s behind the anti-Tea Party hate narrative?” April 20
The banking, auto and health care industries are now under their control. Talk radio, free speech and the right to own a gun are next if opposition to their hegemony becomes too heated. We’re supposed to sit down and shut up while the Left consolidates more power at the expense of our liberty.
Leftists are notorious for projecting their vices onto others. They need only look within to find the hate and violence they see elsewhere.
For example, before the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner last year, comedian Wanda Sykes wished that Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys would fail. Bill Maher expressed regrets that Dick Cheney was not assassinated. Left-wing radio has called for the deaths of prominent conservative radio personalities like Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly. Union thugs beat a black Tea Party participant who was passing out “Don’t Tread on Me” flags in St. Louis, while a California Tea Party member had his finger bitten off by a proponent of nationalized health care.
Closer to home, a bullet pierced the window of Rep. Eric Cantor’s Richmond office just weeks before the arrest of a man who threatened to kill him. And who can forget the almost ubiquitous glossies of George W. Bush as Hitler — or with a bullet through his forehead?
Yep, there is a lot of hate out there we must be on guard against, particularly when coupled with the Left’s sense of virtue and self-righteousness.

Crime wave will follow illegal immigrant invasion
Re: “How immigration crackdowns backfire,” April 23
Steve Chapman’s response to the Latin American invasion is rather like advising someone whose home is being invaded by strangers who are helping themselves to the groceries and family silver to ask the intruders to make themselves comfortable and invite their friends over.
Putting aside the well-documented destruction of blue-collar wages because of the flood of cheap labor and much heavier use of social services by new “immigrants” than native-born Americans, when the large wave of illegitimate immigrant children (now close to 50 percent) age, sociological evidence predicts a commensurate rise in crime as well.

There’s a reason NARAL is losing youth vote
Activists at NARAL, a radical pro-abortion organization, are running out of committed supporters and don’t know why.
The group just released survey results showing an “intensity gap” among young voters. More than half of pro-lifers under age 30 considered abortion a “very important” issue, compared to just one-quarter of abortion-minded youth. This comes on the heels of a Gallup poll announcing that 18- to 29-year-olds are now the most likely of all age groups to favor making abortion illegal in all circumstances.
The wave of pro-life passion puzzles NARAL President Nancy Keenan, who recalled her visit to the March for Life rally in Washington, which drew tens of thousands of energized pro-lifers. “I just thought, my gosh, they are so young,” she told a Newsweek reporter. “There are so many of them, and they are so young.”
There’s an obvious and tragic explanation for NARAL’s problem: Their supporters grew up and exercised their “right” to kill their children.
Guess who’s left? A lot of blossoming families who value life.
