Liberal Fantasyland And The Rittenhouse Verdict

Have you noticed something about the liberal media coverage of the Rittenhouse verdict? They are completely ignoring the facts. They are trying to define Rittenhouse as a white supremacist, though all involved were white. They call him a murderer, though it was clearly self defense. They claim those two men killed were noble martyrs, though they had records of viciously bad behavior. The Left doesn’t do this because they don’t know the facts. They are aware of them.

They do this because lying is their stock and trade. It is the only thing they know and they’ve been doing it for a long time. Their sale of liberal fantasylands to the public stretches back decades.

Between September 1939 and June 1941 the American Left screamed for the US to stay out of WWII. Why? Because the Soviets were allied with the Nazis after their mutual non-aggression pact was singed in August of 1939. After they divided up Poland, Soviet fuel propelled Nazi planes over France and Britain. Before that, Nazi troops secretly trained in Russia. So the American Left, taking orders from Moscow, told the American people it was only a European conflict and we should stay out. They ignored the fact that they were allied with a regime they had been denouncing for several years. Overnight they switched the message, not only ignoring facts but ignoring their own words of only yesterday.

When the Nazis betrayed the Soviets and attacked them in June of 1941, the American Left switched sides again and advocated for immediate American intervention in the war. They knew all the facts the entire time, but that didn’t stop the dishonest and contradictory messages. They were selling fantasyland.

During the Cold War, as we were fighting in Vietnam, the American Left openly sided with the Communist North Vietnamese, again doing Moscow’s bidding. Though the North Vietnamese and their Viet Cong allies were constantly commiting horrible atrocities, the American Left and their media pals sold the very few American indiscretions as the norm for the behavior of American troops. Gullible college children bought the fantasy. When we won the Tet Offensive, the media sold it as a loss. Fantasyland triumphed thanks to the Left, the facts and truth be damned.

When the policies of Ronald Reagan and the moral vision of Pope John Paul II won the Cold War and beat the Communist Soviets, the Left and their media mouthpieces gave credit to Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev for somehow engineering the fall of his own regime. In was in direct opposition to every fact available. It didn’t matter, fantasyland had to believed.

And now the facts are thrown to the wind in the case of the Rittenhouse verdict. MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and others spew what they know to be lies. They regurgitate it to the public anyway because nothing is more important than selling fantasyland to the bitter, delusional, and vile buyers of that corrupt tissue of mendacity and hypocrisy that typifies the Left and the vast majority of the major media.
