    What "leftists"?

    Interesting article, right up to the end, where, for reasons probably having to do with the knee jerk reflex of journalistic "balance," Kamiya has to attribute blame to starry eyed leftists who. . . what? I have no idea, except that maybe they don't participate in fighting the fight? But what of all of those who do? And is alienation something limited to "leftists," as though there is much of left left in California, or in the US for that matter?
