Unhinged from reality

It is ironic that the lefties today choose to refer to themselves as "reality-based" given so many decades of their willful refusal to acknowledge the reality of the horrors of the Soviet Union. Robert Conquest has written about this adamant refusal by academics even AFTER the fall of the USSR gave us access to all the records.

[But suppose they simply are trying to break a world record -- most consecutive years of being wrong about everything.]
