Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute on a world in denial…

If you’ve ever wondered how so many people do crazy, harmful, or evil things, look no further than the word denial.  Anywhere you find addiction you will find an equal measure of denial.  Thus the more you do something, the less aware you become of its impact.  People who pick their nose in public are usually in denial about how unpleasant it is to others.  Evil doers are especially prone to denial because the truth would impair their behavior.  People who do bad find a way to believe it’s justified or otherwise OK and politicians are no exception.  In the  Republican Presidential debates every candidate  is practicing denial in one form or another.  And that’s from the party with the closest dedications to reason and reality.  Liberal Democrats often appear to be out of touch because they are.  An addiction to the promise of giving or receiving something for nothing is out of touch with reality – and thus very much in touch with denial. 

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid conservative…
