By traditional standards, Corkins is not even left-wing. By present standards he may be, but then so is Richard Nixon.

Left wing ideas such as gun control have been so completely purged from the US political landscape by billionaire propagandists like Murdoch and the Koch brothers that a nut with only one gun is now considered left of center. To be considered right-wing, the lunatic of today has to carry several weapons when he goes on his rampage.

A true lefty would bring only his sense of humor. He'd ridicule the people he disagrees with.
