The year of losing touch with reality

Somewhere in the recent past (say, about the time "Dreams From My Father" was published), liberals decided reality wasn't really their thing. It was too dull. It didn't give closure. Sometimes the endings weren't right. So it turns out that Obama's main squeeze in his young days was a "composite," digitally enhanced for your reading experience.

Then, it turned out that even the blond, blue-eyed, whey-faced Elizabeth Warren, running against Scott Brown in Massachusetts for his seat in the Senate, was hired by Harvard as an American Indian, though the proportion of Cherokee in her bloodline was just 1 in 32 parts. Just how pale-faced is Warren? A lot more than George Zimmerman, the brown-skinned son of a Peruvian mother who is accused of murdering Trayvon Martin. He was described by the New York Times as a "white Hispanic," because if you're going to characterize a death as a lynching, the one who commits it had better be white.

liberals decided reality wasn't really their thing.

Libtards are postmodernists. The postmodernist approach to truth and reality is that they are community oriented and subjective.For them, there is no universal truth.There are only truths particular to a society or group of people and limited to individual perception. Written or verbal statements can reflect only a particular localized culture or individual point of view.

What could be less real than that? Well, there is one thing -- conjecture about what would have been in an alternative universe, in which much is asserted and nothing proved. These have become mainstays for President Obama, whose case for re-election is based not on what has happened, but what could, would or might have occurred under different conditions, which he is allowed to make up. One is his belief that his stimulus averted a second Depression. A second is to charge that a President Romney would not have made the call to take out Osama bin Laden and then to attack Romney for a "decision" he never had the opportunity to make.

Dang.

Makes me wonder if everybody is now lurking here on FR.

From my March 29...

"This entire class of people are products of a lifetime of ignoring reality and removing all responsibility and consequence for their actions from their lives. It is just another example, one in a never ending stream, of the defective thought process of communist agenda democrats.

It goes like this...

“This is what I just thought up, therefore everyone must accept it as reality. If they do not the only possible reasons are they are “haters” or bigoted/racist right wing extremists. I am the “progressive liberal” here, therefore my statements must be correct.”

In the mean time everyone with a shred of ordinary common sense is laughing at these idiots for standing on their heads screaming that “everybody they see is upside down.”

Reality.

Apparently it's not whats for dinner...
