THE COLAPSE OF THE GLOBAL LEFT

As previously reported, recent elections in Europe are swinging hard to the right. As we fall into a narcoleptic chope dream, the rest of the world is waking up. Dr. Sanity:

The collapse of the global left is due to its pervasive intellectual and moral bankruptcy. Obama is the poster boy for this bankruptcy; and he carelessly and stupidly repeats all the mistakes of the left's past. This time he thinks it will work out because HE is the one in charge and he has cleverly repackaged all those failed policies in ribbons of hope and boxes of change.

But the disastrous policies he and the Democrats are ramming down America's throat remain out of touch with reality; and like all the despots before him, he will deliberately and callously ignore the actual consequences to real people. Like most on the left, he is truly only concerned with two main issues: feeling good about his moral superiority over the common folk (along with all the attendant preening self-righteousness and moral lecturing); and obtaining power over others (for their own good, and society's).

Exactly. There's a reason to pay attention to 100 years of failure.
