The problem with liberalism that causes its adherents to stick to ideas proven wrong is that liberalism is a “faith.” In the words of Bill Maher, the definition of faith is “purposeful suspension of critical thinking.” Liberals treat all facts as irrelevant.
They are guilty of wishful thinking in all areas, not only in multi-culturalism. Their conviction is that if they simply repeat the mantra over and over it will become true. Applied to socialist economics, expansionist government, tickle-down tyranny, bail-outs, that the public sector needs unions, and that all problems are due to the unholy triumvirate of “global warning”, “failed Bush policies”, and “conservative rhetoric” — these are all dominated by their misguided faith and contradicted by facts.
But the beat of their unshakeable faith goes on.
