Party of Personal Responsibility Leader… November 16, 2012

…blames looters, moochers, and takers for his failure to win against “worst President in history”. The GOP leadership seems to be digging in on this narrative as it plunges deeper into the bubble of unreality it has created for itself.

Romney, being an adult Mormon, is already deeply used to accepting unreality at a profound level, so one can hardly expect him to suddenly cease constructing unreal narrative now. But there is no reason Catholics have to emulate that.
