Where evil is concerned, the self-deception of the left is bottomless.

Welcome to FR, always good to have our cousins from across the pond in attendance.

You know, when I think about many of the views and attitudes that have been expressed by the left I cannot help but think how divorced from reality they have become. Yet they continue to hold these views, despite being intelligent people. Why?

A quote from Frank Herbert's "Dune" comes to mind: "When a person has worked to become one thing, he will destroy himself rather than become its opposite".

We're dealing with a group of people that cannot face admitting that their entire worldview is just plain wrong, it would destroy them psychologically.

I think it is merely the professional courtesy that Stalinist's extend to each other. The problem for them is that the rest of us have broken their code and now we recognize one clearly every time they talk, whether it is Sadam, this MP, or Barbara Boxer.
