Liberals and reality

March 14, 2017, 07:40 PM

It apparently does not trouble them. To whit, Bernie Sanders denied a stastement he made regarding the health of the U.S. mortgage system. Even AFTER HE WAS SHOWN A VIDEOTAPE OF HIM ACTUALLY MAKING THE STATEMENT. Pelosi seems to believe the ACA is God's gift to healthcare. Ashley Judd is triggered by a man who said "I like Trump." at a UK basketball game.

What happened to reality and how can we escape it as well?

Fantasy, coin of the realm for liberals.

Apparently they can just not identify with their actual reality and it magically goes away.

Thd chief talent and primary defect of the liberal is the ability to ignore the existance of exisistence.

While liberalism could be labeled as a disorder, I would be hesitant to do so. That might allow it being labeled as a disease which needs treatment of the victim at govt. expense. Looks like a downward spiral with no end. Is it possible to write off the hopelessly lost and move on?

A solution might be to revise the education system, teaching civics, American history and the Constitution. Save the children, save the country.

I think that they are so used to lying that they even lie to themselves and believe their own lies.

Liberals OR reality would be a more accurate title.

Short, concise, true and to the point. I like it.

How do we teach the teachers? They've been indoctrinated for so many decades now that I see no possibility of accomplishing that, so what do we do instead?

I'm asking this in all seriousness, and would appreciate the Forum's teachers' and former teachers' opinions.

Looking at my surroundings in the Bay Area, liberals see themselves as elitist, mentally and/or morally superior to the masses; and accordingly justified in their opinions of the world, regardless of realities. Some honestly believe imposing their "doctrines" on the masses will improve society. But most are unwilling to follow those same doctrines in their own lives.

There might be a simpler explanation: liars.

Yeah, O'Reilly actually talked about his tirade with old Barney over that just last night.
