Arrogance When Up, Denial When Down

By Arnold Ahlert

"I’d like a nickel for every Massachusetts Democrat who, after seeing Scott Brown win “Ted Kennedy’s seat,” said or thought to themselves, “I don’t understand it. Everyone I know voted for Martha Coakley.”

The saving grace of liberalism is a combination of arrogant hubris when they’re up, and utter denial when they’re down. Only people hermetically sealed in their own universe could offer some of the pathetic excuses liberals offered for Brown’s victory. Those excuses ran the gamut from, it’s all Martha Coakely’s fault, to (I kid you not) it’s all George W. Bush’s fault.

A riff on a familiar phrase for terminally obtuse leftists: it’s the liberalism, stupid."
