Dennis Prager should be a force to be reckoned with. But the left doesn't show fear as much as it tries to instill fear. Here's Prager in Fear of the Left: The Most Powerful Force in America Today:
Leftism -- in its incarnations, such as Marxism, communism and socialism; expressed through egalitarianism, environmentalism and feminism; in its denigration of capitalism and Western civilization, especially America and Israel; in its supplanting of Christianity and Judaism; through its influence on Christianity and Judaism; in its celebration of race; and in its replacing of reason with romanticism -- has almost completely taken over the news and entertainment media and institutions of education.
There is a largely (though not entirely) nonviolent reign of ideological terror in America. In almost every area of life, people fear antagonizing the left.
Mr. Prager goes on to demonstrate that theory with examples of conservatives intimidated by leftists. What a frightening concept. It's easy for those of us out here in flyover country to think conservatives should stand up for themselves. But we're not standing in their shoes. They probably have a legitimate reason to fear the left.
And it's not just because the left wants to take away their property.
