Irreverent, contrarian, delighted to be out of synch with the zeitgeist, I depend on my sense of humour (such as it is) to keep me sane in this wacky world.

The art of denial: David Horowitz tries to account for the Leftists’ surreal denial of the jihad (which I would note is along the lines of the Marcel Duchamp painting of a pipe with the caption “This is not a pipe.”):
…This extremist [Major Dr. Hasan, the Fort Hood shrink/shooter] said to an audience of doctors in university lecture (a military university no less) that those who do not believe in Islam should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.
And liberals are too polite (too “politically correct”?) to notice. Actually it’s not polite that they are (they are actually quite rude) but in denial. And why is that? It is the same denial that progressives maintained through the 70 years of the Communist nightmare, denial that mass slaughters were being conducted by their Soviet comrades, that Russia and China were vast prison camps, and that the same fate awaited us in the West if we didn’t wage a cold war against their expansionist designs. It does sound familiar doesn’t it? The only mystery is why progressives (so-called) like Tomasky and Fallows (and President Obama) should bend over backwards to protect medieval psychos — and I am speaking of here of the tens of millions — of Muslims who idolize Osama Bin Laden, Hamas, and Hizbollah and embrace their genocidal agendas. There is only one possible answer to this question and that is to one degree or another leftists regard America as the Great Satan and Israel as the Little Satan or believe at the very least that the policies of these two countries are the real cause of the violence against them.
Self-loathing: the root of all evil-abetting--and a pre-requisite for self-sabotage.

Uh ... that's a Rene Magritte painting, not Duchamp. But I get the point. Similar to the Black Knight in "Holy Grail" pointing to his amputated arm and declaring, "It's just a flesh wound!"
