The most left-wing organization ever

Filed under: culture & social issues by Victoria Liberty @ 6:45 pm

Until the other day, I never knew much about the League of Women Voters. I just assumed they were a nonpartisan organization that supported the Nineteenth Amendment (giving women the right to vote) and now are kind of obsolete and support non-controversial things like making sure everyone gets the opportunity to vote. Well, was I ever wrong! I had no idea, until I visited their website, that the LWV of Massachusetts is the most left-wing organization I have ever heard of.

The first thing I saw was the following notice:

“Thank you to all who helped defeat Ballot Question 1!”

Okay, so they have no concept of private ownership of property. Great. But the horror got worse. They have no concept of the Constitution either. Under “Where We Stand,” they list all the things they support. For “Handgun control,” they write:

“Elimination of the private possession of handguns and assault weapons.”

Noooooooooooo!!!!! I have never heard of any organization that has ever publicly held such an anti-gun position. It horrifies me that an American organization would directly oppose the Second Amendment. But IT GETS WORSE. Under “Citizen rights,” the LWV writes:

“Protection of basic constitutional rights.”

WHAT ON EARTH???? I don’t think I even need to point out that these two statements directly contradict each other. Thomas Jefferson must be rolling in his grave. Apparently no members of the LWV are aware that the Second Amendment is a part of the Constitution. The LWV gives the rape advocate on BostonHerald.com from my earlier post a run for her money as the biggest hypocrite on Earth.

So, in short, to say that the LWV is left-wing is the biggest understatement ever. They make MoveOn.org look right-wing and make Obama look like a Republican. I am disgusted and horrified by their hypocritical, anti-freedom views.
