Blog: The politics of delusion

Blog: The politics of delusion:
The left rules, with an increasingly iron hand, the commanding heights of culture, including the arts, media, and the academy.
Capitalizing on the respect and power this endows the progressives with, they have been creating an alternative reality and ratifying it. 
 In one brilliant paragraph, Peter Kirsanow of NRO summarizes the delusions that have been foisted upon the body politic and society, and which are sticking (for now):

  • Exchanges established by the federal government are exchanges established by the state. 
  • Rachel Dolezal is black. 
  • Iran will honor an agreement not to develop nuclear weapons. 
  • ISIS is a JV team. 
  • There’s an epidemic of sexual assaults on college campuses. 
  • Michael Brown had his hands up and pleaded “don’t shoot.” 
  • Caitlyn Jenner is a woman. 
  • Obamacare is working. 2+2 doesn’t necessarily equal 4. 
  • The polar ice caps are disappearing. The IRS is doing a decent job. 
  • The border is secure.
  • We’ve ended two wars responsibly. 
  • Hillary Clinton turned over all work-related e-mails. 
  • An $18,200,000,000,000 debt can grow without mention. 
  • People who burn down buildings and overturn cars aren’t thugs. 
  • The OPM hack is manageable. 
  • We’ve reset relations with Russia. 
  • Entitlement reform can be kicked down the road. 
  • We’re more respected around the world.
