Politics in the Land of Make Believe

An unfortunate fact of life, especially in this world of 24 hour media is that people are drawn to things that entertain and make them feel better.  And it seems that the culture in general are less and less able to distinguish between fact and fiction...reality and make believe.  And this goes across all all areas of life from home to work to politics.  It is sad, but it is the truth.

The video below from ZONATION points out that in the current culture, while conservatives "live in reality, Liberals live in a world of make believe...that's why they are so good at it."  He also says, "Liberals are able to make compelling points because they have to be creative to sell their B.S...Lying takes creativity by default.  A lie, in itself, is an exercise  in creativity...Telling the truth is not a creative process.  That's why its so hard to make the truth entertaining."  He warns conservatives that they had "better start tapping into the creative side to promote the truth."

Here's an entertaining, but sad, coverage of the topic.
