Nah, its objective and it only sounds liberal because the truth is liberal or liberals are "truth sayers" or uh, something like that. That does seem to be the leftist mindset. It's circular logic. "NPR, CNN, CBS, etc. are not liberal or show liberal bias because they represent the liberal point of view and that is the normal point of view. It's those guys and gals on the right who are out of kilter." Dr. Sanity has concluded that this type of delusion is really a form of mental illness: The recent terrorist attempt to blow up as many people as possible that was stopped just in time in London has had the effect of bringing out once again those who are in complete denial about what is happening in the world today. You will probably not be shocked to discover who some of these people are- here's a sampling if you want to go look for yourself: Atrios - oh, the silliness of it all ! (check out the insane comments if you have the stomach for delusion with a touch of self-satisfied smirking). He even manages to throw in a right wing bomber decoy to throw you off the scent (wink, wink!) Comments from Left Field - Terrorism lite: the "almost" terrorist attack! Taylor Marsh - A world full of pussies. No Quarter - London Bomb-What a crock of crap!!I wish I could tell you that the political left in this country was out of its friggin' mind...but I can't, because it is increasingly clear that if you could put all the combined synapses of all the the above bloggers together you would not get a single logical or coherent thought about the war that is being waged against the West by the religion of peace. These bloggers and many of their readers are on a mission to go where no human has gone before. They are beyond mere denial and delusion; beyond psychosis even. I regularly treat schizophrenics who have more respect for reality. Sadly, they suffer from a totally debilitating disorder: Severe Acquired Leftist Anencephalic Dementia (SALAD). Their minds are simply not there any more! The cognitive dissonance of believing so many bizarre and contradictory fantasies; the mental contortions and fits necessary for them to retain their ideological myths has caused their minds to softly and silently vanish away (that's what happens when the snark is a boojum, you see). It's a terrible and agonizing affliction. And I feel for them--a mind is a terrible thing to waste, after all; but we can rejoice because I am certain they haven't noticed and therfore feel no pain whatsoever. Greg Gutfield has some thoughts at the HuffPo, "7 Things We Know About Today's Car Bombing", which you should read in its entirety. But here he captures the essence of the insanity we are dealing with in point 1: Folks, I just spent three hours surfing the net and did I learn a lot! Did you know that most of the news we get is controlled by the Bu$hies? Let me enlighten you about today's so-called terrorist bombing attempt in London: 1. There is no proof that this was terrorism. With Blair gone, there IS no more terrorism in the UK. This was obviously just someone's car, probably belonging to a nail salesman, who kept a lot of samples in his car. He was on his way to a barbecue, of course, which explains the propane. And he needed the extra gas, too, because - hello! - he was driving a gas-guzzler (instead of a hybrid, which is really mean-spirited). So in effect, this was some right-wing, global warming-enabling carpenter on his way to char little animals for his own gratification. Also, if you haven't listened to this gentleman, give yourself a real politically incorrect treat and check it out: A rational, healthy fear of Islam's barbaric medievalism and its desire to subjugate the entire human race under the yoke of its god is perfectly appropriate and continually justified by the fanatical behavior of millions of Muslims everywhere on the planet. There is something terriby wrong with this religion and its followers; and it threatens every civilized person. This is not Islamophobia; this is common sense. And, as a parallel, there is something terribly wrong with the political left and anyone who is able to continue to pretend that terrorism is just some vast right wing conspiracy promulgated by the Bu$hies and Big Business to oppress the masses. They can rationalize, minimize, distort, deny, ignore, and delude themselves all they want; they can add some mixed-up Greens to the SALAD and scream about global warming; but it is very hard not to laugh--and they really do suffer from a debilitating and crippling cognitive malfunction.
