Reality Denial

I could run this whole blog just reproducing snippets of wisdom from the eminently quotable Wretchard of Belmont Club, that uncannily express my amorphous thoughts.

For example:

Sometimes I wonder how psychologically destructive it would be for the extreme Left if America wins the War on Terror. They survived the fall of the Soviet Union by extreme acts of denial and then, when the period of mourning was over, finally by morphing into extreme Greens, both of the environmental and Islamic kind. What will they become if Osama's movement is finally discredited is anybody's guess. They'll turn into something, I guess. But I shudder to think what.
