Did you know that “conservatives” Dave Rubin, Thomas Sowell, Condoleezza Rice and Amala Ekpunobi, all began on the political Left, only to reject it and become some of its staunchest critics?

A Very Inconvenient Truth!
The fundamental tactic of the contemporary Left entails blaming perfectly rational, utterly verifiable statements made by mainstream “conservatives” for acts of hatred which they in no way intended to incite.
