#1 Oh, boy, is she spot on with this analysis.

Two days ago, a guy with whom I have occasional business dealings - a retired lifelong postal worker, and a screaming leftist "the government's first job is to keep my income stream coming" moonbat - was bitching about gas prices and how W and the oil companies are engaged in a conspiracy to loot the American public. I quietly and politely informed him that with inflation, the price of gasoline would have to be over $5.00 per gallon to equal what it cost in the late '70's.

His response?

"I don't believe in those analogies."

Notice what he's saying here. They are analogies, not facts, and he doesn't bother to attempt to refute them with other facts, he simply refuses to "believe" in them, because it would spoil his na-a-a-a-a-rative about how W and the oil companies are taking his money.

And so post-modernism goes.

Heh. It is truly amazing what people are capable of convincing themselves of to justify their superstitions, paranoias and prejudices.

I was always aware that some people were capable of enormous self-deception; but until the Leftosphere built up a full head of steam I had no idea just how many people live on the brink of insanity.

Who could have imagined that the loony shit we heard only from the likes of Moore, Sontag, Pilger, Fisk and other moonbats right after 9/11, would become standard Democratic Party cant barely five years hence?

I sure didn't. I thought, for a while, that we were all in this together.

Truth is, we're not.
