Apologies from the management

I realize that posting has been light recently, and that most of said posts have been little more than references to Stuff You Should Check Out elsewhere on the intartubez. In my defense, work has been kicking my ass lately. My work weeks for the last month or two have basically had me living on a near-exclusive diet of coffee, Mountain Dew, Talk Radio and speedmetal. This should be resolved soon, either by a change in schedule or my upcoming psychotic breakdown, whichever happens first.

In the meantime, I'm going to try and compose the thoughts I've been having the past couple of days regarding the Left(you're stunned, I'm sure). They might even appear in some sort of coherent order, but I assure you this is most likely due to random chance.


I'm really finding it harder and harder to be angry with the confused, frightened idealogues of the Left, who--until just recently--believed they had finally won the day from those evil Conservatives and Libertarians. Remember the wave of smug self-righteousness that swept over them during Obama's first year? (I know, I didn't think they could get any worse in that department either, but we all saw it happen.) Remember the "yes, we can," and "we're going to drag you kicking and screaming into the 21st Century, whether you like it or not" diatribes?

And now look at them. Shrilly lashing out at any real or imagined threat with wild-eyed desperation. Those with the slightest concept of objective reality are fleeing the Obama Regime like rats from a sinking ship. The rest are frightened out of their wits. Their entire make-believe world is collapsing around them, and they can't understand why.

Their smear tactics are no longer working. Their Race Card is maxed out. Their economic policies have failed--again--so blatantly and miserably that no sane person on Earth considers them viable any more. Their policies of appeasement have only served to embolden our enemies and leave our most trusted allies twisting in the wind. Their domestic policies have a solid 70% of Americans heading down to the local Ace Hardware to stock up on torches and pitchforks.

The Left has gone from euphoria to abject despair in less time than it takes me to suck down a cold beer on a hot Arizona day. And soon, the consequences of their fatal miscalculation will make themselves known. So, what am I talking about? What is that fatal miscalculation?

Their doomed attempts to ignore reality.

You may have noticed that those of us on the Right--Conservatives and Libertarians alike--deal with the real world. We work for others to make a living, or actually run businesses. We know that wealth doesn't just fall out of the sky, that it must be created by the effort of men acting in their own interest. We know that true self-esteem can only come from one's own right-action, not from being praised every time we take a breath. We know that all the hoping and wishing in the entire 'Verse will not create one single penny to spend, one milliwatt of electricity to enhance our lives, one single crumb of food to nourish us.

But the Left knows not these things. They have been cocooned from birth in a mystical pseudoreality, where money is just always there...where a scream of "RACIST!" automatically wins the argument...where anything is possible if you just believe enough. They've been able to constantly deride America and free-market capitalism only because the guiding principles of America(which include free-market capitalism)have made their circumstances such that they can do so without losing their lives, their freedom or their money...and they are blind to this fact.

Yes, the Left has been able to successfully ignore reality for a long time. It explains why they cling to insane agendas that any working person would dismiss as the ravings of a lunatic. But eventually, reality will assert itself. And the more you deny it, the worse the consequences, as the Left is discovering now. Hopefully, there remains enough humanity in most of them that they can be saved.
