"The Sinister History Of Going Left" By Ben Zimmer Word On the Street"
"Recall that old saw " I don't know how everything went so far left, but I am working on it to make it right" "To go left means to go wrong and plays on the double meaning of right".
Things "going left" as being wrong dates back to the Latin interpretation of the word "sinister" meaning "on the left" which was considered an unfortunate position
This superstitious belief date back to ancient Greece , when orcales reading omens would face north , a flight of birds coming from the west , "on the left" , was an inauspicious sign.
In French the "left handed word" "gauche came to be synonymous with clumsy or lacking grace
The English word "left" derives its Germanic root meaning "weak, useless"
The Scottish adverb widdershins used for "moving in a left handed or counterclockwise direction" carries on the tradition of seeing leftward motion as unlucky
In a 1821 a letter written to Washington Irving by his friend Henry Brevoort describes a party that got out of hand : "Everything went left handed and a score of absurdities were committed."
In baseball "left field" became the metaphorical location for oddness...."out in left field has come to describe odd, eccentric, unexpected or exceptionally misguided or mistaken people in all walks of life"
Recall that 1974 Mowtown hit "I'm going left, til you lead me right, lead me to what is right".....
Summary": History has been harsh as respects those things "left" Progressives would be wise to consider removing those who have gone too far left because as Henry Brevoort aptly describes "Everything went left handed and a score of absurdities were committed." which aptly summarizes the left's so called resistance to all things Trump ...resistance is actually obstructionism.
Irresponsible people such s Schumer. Pelosi, Clinton, Waters and countless others in the so called political class ( incl MSM Hollywood) are deeply infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome and their delusional leadership is marching us all down to the road to perdition
So progressive sing out to those misguided leaders of yours to the tune of Stevie Wonder's musical composition as recorded by his ex-wife Syretta Wright
Ï'm going left / til you lead me to the right/lead me to what is right
And if they won't listen to you then, Welcome to the GOP camp brothers and sisters. Welcome all.
Just my attempt to interject some light-heartedness in a very deeply polarized political climate. We all deserve better.
Personal Best Regards

While I shouldn't be surprised that you would try and pervert a book on the historical persecution of left-handed people, into some type of condemnation of the political left...I am a bit surprised that you've reached a new low.

That you once again have plagiarized, without providing source/link, an article this time
from author/blogger Ben Zimmer...is no surprise whatsoever though.
That's just simply your unoriginal, pseudo-intellectual, lying, scumbag and underhanded... modus operandi.
Deepest Sincere Wishes:
