Beltway Arrogance And Blind Faith

The way they see it, they now have a chance to actualize their vision for an America that is remade in their image and that is radically at odds with the vision of this nation's Founders. It doesn't matter that there couldn't be a worse time in our history for implementing their reckless policies. They know they may not get another chance in their lifetimes to work such mischief. Even though it will break the federal bank, us, our children and our grandchildren, it's all going to be OK because they will finally have achieved their statist vision for America.
Their ideology tells them that any means justify the ends of achieving their liberal Utopia -- even means (such as literally bankrupting federal budgets) that logically guarantee it can never be achieved. That's what I mean by their blind faith in an ideology.
For greater insight into the liberal mind, to help you understand why liberals are blissfully driving like Mr. Magoo toward the precipice of our national financial destruction, I refer you again to Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny," in which he dissects the statist's unshakable drive to expand government and control our lives.
The statist never learns from his policy failures. He is never deterred by the destruction he causes. Negative data are simply rejected, as with his steadfast allegiance to failed Keynesian economics.
"The fact is that the New Deal was, overall, a dismal failure," writes Levin. "Yet today it serves as the Statist's prototype for governance. ... (The statist) is unmoved by reason, evidence and history."
Blind faith, indeed.
