“I reject your reality, and substitute my own…”

Foer, Fairbanks and all the rest at TNR – and their loyal readers – will go to their graves insisting that what Beauchamp said was absoluely true, just like Dan Rather and Mary Mapes’ last words on this earth will be, “But those documents are real! I know they are!”

The Achilles’ Heel of the left is that what they really do know – in the objective sense of that term – is that under no circumstnces can they undertake an honest self-evaluation of the negative emotions and ugly feelings underlying their world view. For if they ever did, their whole existence would first unravel and then implode.

Think in terms of the psychological patient who wears that permanently fixed 1,000-yard stare into the abyss of catatonia. That’s what they’d end up like.

No surpise then, that lefties cling so tenaciously to their alternative reality. And no surpise that they just “know” things about the people they hate: it spares them the mental effort to have to really look at the facts, while shielding them from the adverse effects of having those facts contradict their sense of what’s real.

In LeftWorld, it’s not a question of “whether” Rush Limbaugh “smeared the troops as phony soldiers.” It’s already their internalized reality: something they just “know” without having to prove, indeed something so necessarily and indisputably real to them that no amount of trying to prove a negative to them will ever succeed.

The debate must never be seen as trying to “salvage” those on the left. They’re gone. The intellectual battle must be to show those who haven’t broken with the real world yet, and whose brains are still succeptible to influence by facts.

No sensible person would give credence to anything that they spew.

Reid, Pelosi, Schumer and the like may but that just reinforces my last point.

And I refuse to do that.

Instead of e-mailing The Plank, try posting a comment on the offending thread, something perhaps about people who live in glass houses.

Seems to me it would be more appropriate on the “outhouse walls” – where most of this seems to come from.

We loath the military

What more need be said about the swine?

And if I’m a shill…

DOn’t shills get paid?

Where’s my blood-for-oil money, damnit??

I tried to e-mail The Plank, and got bounced the following:

I am amused. Anyone else having better luck?

Whew! Someone’s gone round the bend! The writers and producers forget that the audience watching this series is pro-military and anti-terrorist — and that upending the plot to make the series an anti-Bush vehicle embracing a paranoid ight-wing conspiracy is gonna drive that audience away. But somehow, don’t ask how, LEFTIST weenies will tune in to admire Jonah and his team’s sense of Honor, Duty and Country to fill the gap!

LOL!

Lord, I love the smell of “liberal” desperation in the evening!!!

But I will no longer watch this leftist tripe.

Now, if we are all just “shills” for the GOP, Bush, Cheney, Halliburton etc., all because we believe in what is right and just and will not hand our families and country over to the cause of the New Global Caliphate … what does it make them for spouting off their horribly misguided beliefs and parrotted remarks?

Quislings? Traitors?

It doesn’t matter, I question their patriotism.

If I could cackle like Hillary right now, I would.

Here’s something we should all remember about Hillary:

“We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”

“We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.”

“It’s time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, for the few, and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity.”

“We can’t just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people.”"

“We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground.”

“I certainly think the free market has failed.”

“I think it’s time to send a clear message to what has become the most profitable sector [oil] in the entire economy, that they are being watched.”

“What I want to do is take those profits and apply them to alternative energy.”

Karl Marx or Frederick Engels said none of these things; Hillary Clinton said them all.
