Oh no, no, no, no, that is not the new way we do things on Free Republic. We no longer face reality and deal with it rather we deny reality and excoriate those who bring it to our attention and, if necessary, we zot those who bring us unpleasant truths or censor their contributions to the forum or both.
If the truth teller is an academically credentialed full professor at the University of Virginia, a recognized television personality, a genuine political scientist, we demean him. If the truth teller is Mark Levin who has the number five talk radio program in the land, has authored many foundational conservative books, who has served in the Ronald Reagan administration, a crusading litigator in the courts for conservative causes, we libel him. If the truth tellers are pollsters we simply deny the reality they discover for us. If we are told that the pollsters were wrong in the 2012 cycle we rejoice but we forget that they were wrong in favor of Mitt Romney not Barack Obama.
It doesn't matter whom we must destroy in his quest for "unity." It does not matter how much we must distort logic and history. How much better to curse the darkness than light a candle?
We will never see victory in the war against terrorism if we cannot identify the enemy and we will never see victory in elections if we cannot face reality.
