The very obscure reference of my subject line is to Jonathan Coulton’s song, “I Crush Everything.”  Spoiler alert:  It’s about a lonely sea monster that has banished itself to the bottom of the sea because everything it tries to get close to and hug it crushes.

The chorus came to mind as I read Dennis Prager’s recent column about “leftist destruction”:

To understand the modern world, perhaps the most important rule one needs to know is this: Everything the Left touches it ruins.

This first became clear to me years ago during my radio show. I was talking about the Left’s war on the Boy Scouts (for not accepting announced gay people). It was becoming clear that this would ultimately lead to the decline of the Boy Scouts, which led me to ask: “Will the left replace the Boy Scouts with a left-wing Boy Scouts?”

Then I answered my own question: Of course not. Because the Left only destroys; it doesn’t build anything (other than government).

He goes on to describe how this happens across multiple areas in our society.
