"suspiciously left-wing"

Ah, the Telegram and Gazette is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Today's tour de force comes from a Paxton man's letter to the editor, who believes the federal government is an un-American, suspiciously left-wing organization:
It distressed me greatly to read that life expectancy in the United States is in 42nd place worldwide and behind such countries as Jordan, Guam and the Cayman Islands...[and] that we are 41st in infant survival rates behind the likes of Cuba, Taiwan and most of Europe....

Whence came this malicious report? I would hope that our hometown newspaper would not publish such un-American drivel, especially when it comes from such suspiciously, left-wing organizations as the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Center for Health Statistics.
And while the writer has the bully pulpit, he might as well toss in a completely unrelated truth:
Most of us know that ...the only reason that dinosaurs are no longer running about is that they were too big to fit onto Noah’s Ark.
I wonder if the U.S. Census Bureau keeps numbers on how many Paxton residents are loony tunes.
