....is an essential character trait for Liberals, Leftists.
One must be will to believe in the possible creation of Heaven on Earth....and ignore every indication that no such program has ever, or will ever, work.
1. When an earlier iteration of Liberalism, Progressivism, was revealed, it was laughed at and satirized....thus:
2. When the horrors of the Nazis, and their mentors, the Communists, became known, their acolytes simply squeezed their eyes tightly shut.
"We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life." Leon Trotsky
And they did, and they do.
3. And when Hussein Obama bent low to kiss the shoes of the Cuban Communists, Leftists nodded sagely.....
...and ignored all that we on the Right reminded about Leftism.
4. And they'll ignore this, too:
"Cuban Doctors Revolt: ‘You Get Tired of Being a Slave’"
Cuban Doctors Revolt: ‘You Get Tired of Being a Slave’
5. "The deniers first deceive themselves that they are sincere in their adherence to falsehoods. Thus they cannot be faulted for acting on genuinely held views. But in truth, they have cultivated an ignorance of the facts, what Thomas Aquinas called ignorantia affectata. An ignorance so useful that one protects it at all costs, in order to continue using it in one’s own self interest. This ignorance is not exculpatory, but inculpatory.
Forgive them not, for they know full well what they do.'
