It has been helping me understand how such liberals think by contemplating how they approach fantasy and reality. We have seen ads on TV, for instance, the one with the guy not having his usual dreams about Abe Lincoln and a beaver. In our dreams and nightmares, we can meld the most incongruous into a scene which makes sense so long as we dream. But when we are awake, it was just a dream. I wonder if such liberals really confuse their fantasies with reality, hence, see emotions as truth replacements, keep diametrically opposing thoughts side by side, and comprehend no conflict.
That way, their fantasy becomes their reality, and symbols replace facts shaping our own reality. I watched with fascination on tv the scene in London of a demonstrator struggling to extinguish the Olympic flame torch. Protectors defended it with unbridled fury. Nobody was about to harm that symbol. Our reality of killings and slaughter was one thing, but don’t dare touch the symbol. That is their reality.
Only the state of awake escapes them. A woman with a horrible tumor triggers that emotion sans reason, as would a baby seal or other weepy thoughts, but reality is a rude shock to them. This fantasy world explains projection, it explains cognitive dissonance, and explains the sickness of leftist thought. What we have left is the cause of this disease and I think I have a clue on that one.
I will be the first to admit that I was shocked when I first saw pictures of her face, but then the more I read, the more it became obvious that she had refused all treatment.
Obviously there is no such thing as “good” cancer, but as far as cancer goes her’s was among the most treatable. Not only did she not have to die, she never had to look disfigured. This was her choice and it was no doubt influenced by people who really didn’t give a damn about anything other than their own evil agenda.
