Re: Naw heck, I'll bite...
"Whistling past the graveyard" is a polite way of addressing a political ideology that has become delusional, and the sooner their power is reduced or eliminated, the better.
Almost everything a "progressive" knows is wrong.
I began to realize some time ago how many of my arguments with leftists first required the laborious dismantling of an entire structure of false premises. It makes things hard in a discussion - kind of like trying to seriously discuss water at the lunar poles when the person you're talking to believes the Moon is made of green cheese.
