Will the Extremist Loons Wake Up the Honest Lefties?

Camille Paglia, an honest leftie?

It's easy to pigeon-hole and condemn the left. Their "spokesmen" are so intransigent in promoting intrinsic moral evils like abortion, assisted suicide, sodomy, same-sex "marriage," etc. that one is tempted to dismiss them all as minions of Satan.

But I know some lefties who are struggling (as we all are) to live moral lives, some in my own extended family. They are kind and helpful. They love their children and are faithful to their spouses.

 I can't question their sincerity, however misguided their ideas. And that leads me to a dilemma.
