Memento: The story of liberals who can’t seem to learn from reality…

If you’ve never seen the movie Memento, I would highly recommend it… The main character, Leonard, is suffering from anterograde amnesia – the inability to create new memories – the result of a violent attack. Unable to create new memories, Leonard uses tattoos and notes to help him find the person he believes is responsible for the last thing he does remember, his wife’s murder. Throughout the movie we see Leonard writing himself notes and getting new tattoos to help him take the next step in his pursuit of the culprit. By the end of the movie Leonard finds and kills “John G” the man he believes is responsible for his wife’s murder. Or at least he thinks he has, and something we discover he’s apparently done before. At the end of the movie the viewer discovers that despite Leonard’s “system” there really is no correlation between his actions and reality. Even those memories he can recall are suspect. In a nutshell, Leonard is lost in a world where reality simply doesn’t exist. Friends and foes are interchangeable and he knows what he knows only because he reads it in his own handwriting. Actions have no consequences because lessons are never learned.

One has to wonder, is to exist in such a world really living? Think about all of the things you know, from when you first learned the fact that a hissing radiator is probably hot to the realization that not everything everyone tells you is true, most of us never stop learning. It’s how we grow, it’s how we discover what works in the world – and what doesn’t – in the pursuit of solving problems, finding pleasure and virtually everything in between. Without learning we don’t grow and are destined to face an endless cycle of reliving the same exact problems day after day.

Such is the world that liberals have created for themselves… and increasingly have imprisoned the rest of us in. They seem to be unable to make new memories. They seem to be stuck in a universe where reality is disconnected from what actually goes on in the world and they believe what they believe only because they read it in their own handwriting… or in this case the typed letters of the New York Times or the spoken word on MSNBC. Reality simply doesn’t intrude on their universe

It's not a new idea that Progressives live within a fantasy world of their own. In fact we've all seen it when there is talk about casualties of war. Johnson managed to get 58,000 Americans killed in Nam by using all forms of lies and chicanery, yet there was nearly no utterance in that direction to blame Johnson for those cost of those lies. Progressives we all know that they actually blamed Nixon not Johnson for these actions.
Then there's Bush who cost the lives of nearly 5,000 Americans in two theaters of war in the ME for nearly 8 years of his presidency. Progressives would rather cry over Bush and bury the actions of Johnson. But hey, that's what they do. Has anyone noticed the increase of KIA in Afghanistan in the five years of Obama's presidency.
Obama's incompetence and lack of loyalty to America and those that represent and protect America is obvious as in the September 11, 2012 attack.

 

Please define liberal for me. Thanks.

 

He means leftist. There is nothing liberal about the left.
