David Horowitz, a former New Left radical himself, discusses the radical left’s inroads into government:

When you are a radical, what you are thinking of is power. It’s about power. … They never think about what it’s going to look like or how to put it together. … I can tell you, a radical never spends five seconds on what makes society work.

That would explain a lot of what’s happened since January — stimulus packages that don’t stimulate, employment efforts that raise unemployment, a Cash for Clunkers program that fails spectacularly, foreign policy that rewards our enemies and punishes our friends, etc. Video below.
