Why Liberals Cling to Policies That Don't Work

The Other McCain brings us an analysis of why the Left keeps trying to replace things that work, with things that they believe sound good. The Worst People in the World (Part II)

You will never understand liberals until you read Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy. However often I’ve recommended that book over the years, I occasionally feel the need to repeat the recommendation for the simple reason that Sowell demystifies what would otherwise be incomprehensible, i.e., the persistent tendency of the Left to make their own good intentions an argument for supporting policies that are objectively harmful to the very people that liberals claim to be “helping.”

I would like to point out that when those policies fail, the cognitive dissonance causes a lot of problems, usually ending in violence.

After touching on the Minneapolis anti-ICE protests, and dip into the history of 2014, and the Kaitlyn Hunt case.

Finally we get an analysis of some of the TDS around the American Men's Hockey victory at the Olympics. Click thru, it is entertaining. Except for the bits about how the Left believe their good intentions are not paving the road to hell.
