But how do you reconcile with the fact that every social or political policy enacted by the left in fact cultivates the exact opposite of its initial claim?

You said — “But how do you reconcile with the fact that every social or political policy enacted by the left in fact cultivates the exact opposite of its initial claim?”

Well, I wouldn’t say that all that they say turns out the opposite of what they say. If they say they want socialized medicine, I actually believe what they say. I have no reason to doubt them.

When they say that they’re going to close down Gitmo, I sorta believe them, actually. Now, I may be wrong and they may say they intend to close it down, and yet, they will keep it going. That could very well be possible, but I sorta doubt it.

And when they say that they’re going to raise taxes on the upper income groups — I *actually* believe them. I kinda think they really mean it...

When they say that they intend to put curbs on guns and restrict their sales and restrict how guns are used and kept — I sorta believe them, there, too...

Now, if you don’t believe what they say they’re going to do, then I’m kinda thinking you’re not facing reality here...
