It's a strange phenomenon I'm witnessing in the aftermath of the 2010 election. I'm speaking of the way in which the most visible liberals have chosen to interpret the election results.

After their crushing defeat at the hands of the GOP, are liberals like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama humbled? Are they the least bit remorseful for forcing their agenda on the American People? Do they believe that the casualties they experienced in this last election are, perhaps, the result of how they legislated over the past two years? The short answer is, "No." Don't believe me?

The day after the election, Nancy Pelosi said she had "'no regrets' about pursuing the Democrats' ambitious agenda." That's a remarkable statement. Her party just lost the House to the tune of 60+ seats. They also lost seats in the U.S. Senate and several governorships across the nation. All of that…directly related to her party's governance of this nation and she has "no regrets."  One question comes to mind in the wake of Pelosi's moronic statement: How ya likin' that Astroturf, now, Nancy?

And President Barack Obama? His response was equally mystifying. Speaking in reference to his health care bill, Obama had this to say, "I think we'd be misreading the election if we thought that the American people want to see us for the next two years re-litigate arguments that we had over the last two years." Obama goes on to blame the outcome of this election not on his agenda or the way his cronies in Congress bullied that agenda into law, but rather on the economy and the fact that our recovery has yet to materialize. This is coming from the guy who campaigned on a singular promise, that he would bring economic prosperity.

The sane among us, understand the abject imbecility of Obama and Pelosi's statements. It's obvious that in both cases, we're dealing with people who are living in a fantasy world of their own making. But what does one do with such nuttery?  How can one combat this kind of, apparent thickheadedness? You have to wonder what it would take to convince these jackasses that their legislative decisions are directly responsible for the bloodbath they took last Tuesday. This is more proof that neoliberals have a completely inaccurate concept of cause and effect, leading to a warped perception of reality.  The assumption by these poor misguided fools is that neoliberalism works. And since it works, the problem can't be with them. Therefore, it must necessarily be elsewhere. This explains how liberals, the likes of Obama and Pelosi, can be in utter denial about their own failure…even in the face of compelling data, like the shellacking they got earlier this week.
