My regular readers know what the title of this blog is about.
When I talk about Real I am talking about the political world that we came to understand emperically in the 20th century. Millions died trying to create an ideal man using the power of government. Government cannot create the ideal man and a powerful central government is also incapable of generating or supporting the core elements of commerce necessary to feed and clothe a nation. We further learned that when government becomes too large a percentage of the GNP that the commercial functions of the society are damaged and generally suppressed.
I have also pointed out that nearly all human beings are incapable of changing their mind, certainly incapable of changing their ideology after age 23.
Put these two things together and you can understand the title of my blog. There is a vast population of Lefties who learned to deny reality before they were 23 and a large population who are over that age and didn't learn the lessons of the 20th century.
I simply want to generate the type of optimism that is warranted because the Left is going to die off in the next 20 to 40 years.
