After reading the March 5 letter “Intolerant left” in Peninsula Voices, I couldn’t help but think, oh my, another victim of the blight-wing disinformation machine.
It seems that the letter writer had been led to the ill-informed idea that the left had conflated his Christian faith with “ultra-right, neo-Nazi, haters, suppressors of woman’s rights, divisive Ku Klux Klan supporters, deplorable and much more.”
This is an unfortunate and perplexing misunderstanding that makes me wonder where the writer got this idea.
Second-hand blight-wing disinformation, perhaps?
After all, many on the left are Christians themselves.
However, I think I see the problem here, so allow me to clarify.
It’s not that the left equates Christianity with these ultra-right, neo-Nazi KKK’ers, deplorables, etc.
It’s that there are people who call themselves Christians but are also ultra-right, neo-Nazi haters, suppressors of women’s rights, divisive KKK’ers, deplorables, etc., etc.
They are not Christians.
This is such a simple analysis that it makes me wonder why anyone would be confused about the difference.
Again, I suspect blight-wing disinformation.
There’s a lot of it going around.
Now, as for the 2016 election, how many ultra-right Nazi KKK’ers, haters, etc., do you think voted for Trump?
And how many voted for Hillary?
Gotcha.
