It is instructive to consider the premises that underlie the liberal view of the world. These are the ideas that determine their votes in elections; ideas that could shape the future of our country. Taken together, it is striking how detached from reality the beliefs are. The list could be much longer, but consider the following 20 beliefs from the imaginary world where liberals live....

This is a column about what liberals know that isn't so. They live in, and vote from, an imaginary world. After reading the list of delusions, you could add to the list in the comments section.
EDUCATION means .. the poor, starving children with those big photo-shopped eyes are staring at you ... give money, tax me more
(etc.)
This truly does get to the heart of the liberal La-La world view, thanks.
I was discussing “global warming” wit a liberal and I posted many, many links. The response?
“It doesn’t matter how much evidence you produce, you’re wrong.”

Bump for later...
One can express their viewpoint in one delusion: “our Progressive beliefs are self-evidently True and Good; everyone actually agrees with us. Anyone who expresses opposing positions are acting out of corrupt, self-interested motives, and are Evil.”
Proves the point. If evidence doesn't matter it isn't science. It is a faith based belief system.
The 20 Deliusions: (. ... indicates the delusion continues)
1) The “Affordable Care Act” will reduce the cost and increase the quality of health care, because if you want something done efficiently and economically, then you definitely want unionized government bureaucracies to handle it. ...
2) President Obama is correct that “we don’t have a spending problem” and Nancy Pelosi is correct that government is cut to the bone and “there is no place left to cut”.
3) It is morally acceptable to borrow massive amounts of money from our grandchildren to support our own current consumption.
4) The 22 trillion dollars spent on the War on Poverty was quite successful in reducing the number of people in poverty.
5) As you look at the plight of women around the world, it is clear that the most important problem for feminists to concentrate on is free birth control for American women.
6) The Social Security Program is a trust fund where your money is placed in a government account for you and invested intelligently. ...
7) Political “compromise” means move to the left and only to the left. Those who do not understand this are “obstructionists”.
8) The most serious problem effecting black communities is that racist policemen are shooting young black men for no reason at all. ...
9) The way to help black people is to teach them that none of their problems are their fault and none of the solutions are their responsibility. ...
10) All the problems in black communities are caused by racist Republicans who want to return to segregation and are trying to keep blacks from voting. ...
11) The earth has been warming very rapidly in recent decades. The polar ice caps are disappearing and polar bear populations are dying from lack of ice. ...
12) Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. The fear that Islamic Jihadists represent a supremist, totalitarian ideology, similar to Nazism, only worse, is an irrational fear called “Islamophobia”.
13) The best available evidence from intelligence agencies and from those on the ground during the Benghazi attack was that there was a demonstration about a YouTube video that got out of hand. ...
14) President Obama immediately authorized the military to do every single thing possible to protect our Benghazi heroes. ...
15) There is “not a smidgen of corruption” in the IRS. ...
16) The “Fast and Furious” gun-running program was a sensible plan to sell weapons to drug cartels and then track these non-trackable weapons right to the doorstep of the drug kingpins. ...
17) The rules for stopping the spread of highly contagious diseases should be shaped by politics and multi-cultural sensibilities. ...
18) With the right politicians in power, people will be given their expanded human rights. Everyone has a right to a certain standard of living including good housing, food, education and medical care. ...
19) The concept “earn” must be replaced by the concept “deserve”. People deserve things, so liberal politicians will reshape reality to create that wonderful utopia where people have everything they want. ...
20) If a government program does not work and creates more problems than it solves, you can fix it by spending more money. If the intentions of the program were good, then it’s a good program regardless of the results.
I suppose one should add (from Mochelles campaign rhetoric) that number 21 is:
It does not matter who the candidate is, as long as they are a Democrat; names, issues do not matter and should have nothing to do with it. Celebrate with fried chicken.
