In his masterpiece, Common Sense, Thomas Paine observed:
"Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions."
Paine may have been discussing the British monarch circa 1776, but his insight is equally applicable to Obama and Co., who reign like kings while exhibiting ignorance and incompetence. This is particularly surprising, given that many liberal policymakers, including Obama, are highly educated, and therefore presumably adept at critical thinking and analysis. But after seven years of Obama leading the Democratic Party in insane notions of transforming the country, it is clear that rational thought and common sense are skill sets greatly lacking among liberal elites.

Nothing new under the sun.
History is full of dic tators
Liberal politicians are often legends in their own minds. But, so many have never had a real job. In 0bama’s cabinet, only 9 percent have held a private sector job.
Good post. Thanks.
Liberalism is sick.
The problem liberals have, is that all their policies are failures. That prevents them from being self critical. If they were self critical, they would change their policies. So they end up saying North Korea does not really have nukes. Or that European woman are not being sexually molested in the hundreds by recent refugees. And besides, what proof do you have they were refugees. So onward they go until one of their cities ceases to exist. We should probably make preductions on which one the fat norkie will nuke. Or perhaps which day this year a non-natural earthquake will occur in Iran.
Thanks for the post. Good one by Ms. Regan.
Liberals thrive in an imaginary World. A state of mind. Reality is just a word.
“Liberals thrive in an imaginary World. A state of mind. Reality is just a word”
You’re right. The article mentions that liberals are caught up in Nihilism. I looked it up and the definition matches what you said.
I know that it is impossible to rationalize with liberals. It is a waste of time.
That is actually what they are saying about the Clintons. All his rapes were consensual, and he and Hillary have an open marriage, anyhow, so why should we care?
Makes you want to take a 9-iron to their knees, and simply claim mutual permission.
After the 911 attack on NYC, there were New Yorkers claiming that they deserved it. Saw a waitress in a video claiming that. The world is going crazy.
