Here is an excellent post plucked form the swirling miasma of paranoia and fatalism that is Zerohedge.
I actually can't think of two better words to describe the Democrat world view.
Let's pretend that windmills are new technology. Let's pretend that solar panels are as cheap and useful as internal combustion. Let's pretend that we can get by without gasoline, or that we can prevent drilling without driving up prices. Let's pretend the zero interest rate environment will continue forever.
Let's pretend that paying people to do nothing is a good use of funds. Let's pretend that racism is the 'root cause' of all of society's ills. Let's pretend that class struggle is a component of EVERYTHING. Let's pretend that a politician knows as much about investment as professional investors, and that politics is a better way to allocate resources than a free market.
Let's pretend that women can't afford birth control and that sacrificing religious liberty won't have any downstream consequences. Let's pretend that 'gun free school zones' encourage peaceful discourse in spite of all the evidence to the contrary....
It can go on and on and on and on.

I am currently assigned by my employer to a major university as sort of a mercenary engineer.
Today I passed by a bunch of posters that declared "Karl Marx Was Right!" stuck among a number of advertisements for various far left student organizations.
I am ready to de-fund all government support of for higher education. All that is being funded is a degree in stupidity.
Though back in my Dad's day, financial aid gave him a great opportunity. The old man got into the University of Colorado with only a 9th grade education. Colleges were so broke, they took anyone who had a GI bill. When the GI bill ran out, he paid his way working for the Bureau of Mines putting out coal mine fires. In the end he came out with a Phd in Food Science (specialized organic chemistry).
Now financial aid just seems to be a scam to keep the far left alive.

Let's pretend that blowing up the buildings that contain credit card records will reset society's debts - Project Mayhem.
In fairness, that was a work of fiction - and I think a little artistic license in blog naming is fine. As you know, I've never had anything to do with actual radio.
Lets pretend the Social Security lock box is real! Somewhere in the bowels of the capital is a huge vault full of gold that will magically cover the $99+ trillion in unfunded mandates that will be coming due.
Fiction? But Tyler Durden runs the ZeroHedge blog - he puts his name on it!
A picture is worth a thousand words. I can't believe that idiot actually let herself get photoed holding that sign. Seriously? Is that shot for real?
I doubt it. Even the "occupy" crowd aren't THAT stupid.
Ok, I see now the photo appears to be doctored. I was gonna say... Don't make it so easy.
