If you think that racial and sexual equality are "far left", you hve already bought the enemies propganda. If the you think working for economic and social justice is "far left" them you are probably not a democrat. Words are important. One way the R's have kicked ass is to change the semantics and describe what the Democratic Party has always stood for as "far left".
