Well known feminist author, Camille Paglia, was interviewed recently. She is most certainly a woman of the Left but isn’t happy with how the collective Leftist mind has been hijacked:

Historically, talk radio arose via Rush Limbaugh in the early 1990s precisely because of this stranglehold by liberal discourse. For heaven’s sake, I was a Democrat who had just voted for Jesse Jackson in the 1988 primary, but I had to fight like mad in the early 1990s to get my views heard. The resistance of liberals in the media to new ideas was enormous. Liberals think of themselves as very open-minded, but that’s simply not true! Liberalism has sadly become a knee-jerk ideology, with people barricaded in their comfortable little cells. They think that their views are the only rational ones, and everyone else is not only evil but financed by the Koch brothers. It’s so simplistic!

There is much to read but it’s well worth it. Pass it on to your friends on the Left. Most will likely be too close minded to hear what she’s saying but hopefully it’ll crack open a few minds, if only a little.
