Ben Shapiro threw a wrench into CNN’s liberal machinery recently, sparking fireworks that laid bare the sheer chaos of left-wing ideology. With the likes of Ana Kasparian failing to grasp basic fiscal realities, it’s no wonder conservatives are shaking their heads. The liberal insistence on blaming America’s debt woes on military spending while ignoring the mammoth beast of entitlement expenses is nothing short of delusional. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid not only dwarf foreign aid and military budgets, but they also highlight a staggering refusal by the left to accept any fiscal responsibility.
Kasparian’s stunt showed all too well her disdain for reality, smearing Israel while ignoring the facts — facts that social programs are the true drivers of our economic predicament. The discussion on national debt showcased liberal ignorance, pretending that wars are our main financial drain. Her argument was like blaming a single fast-food meal for a year-long calorie binge. The truth is, even slashing the entire defense budget wouldn’t rescue us from entitlement-driven debt. We can’t retreat into fiscal fantasy and leave our national interests unprotected from global threats like Russia and China.

When Shapiro had to school CNN on Social Security, it underscored a pervasive misunderstanding in liberal circles. The left loves to claim Social Security is “our money,” yet they ignore the inconvenient truth that this isn’t a personal savings account. It’s a tax, a broken promise of a bankrupt system. Liberals either don’t understand this or they’re madly clinging to a sinking ship. They’re pushing Ponzi schemes and leaving future generations to face the fiscal storm with nothing but debt and empty promises.
Beyond economics, the discussion shifted to crime, shedding light on another liberal illusion. Efforts to downplay crime, particularly in Chicago, reveal how tone-deaf and disconnected the Democrats have become. They refuse to acknowledge the real dangers threatening the safety of everyday Americans, aiding their narrative with misinformation and denial. Appeasing crime and sabotaging law enforcement won’t win hearts; it only paves the way for more mayhem, a fact President Trump slammed home with unflinching clarity.
In a twist of irony typical of the left, they praised FDR yet criticized Trump for embracing similar policies. This hypocrisy showcases the left’s psychosis — not driven by sound policy or progress, but by blind outrage against a president who exposes their hollow rhetoric. They don’t disagree with Trump’s actions; they simply hate the man. Facts and past positions be damned, it always comes down to personal vendettas and despising the face of the opposition.
Why does the left cling to such delusions? Why bask in flights of fancy while reality crumbles around them? Could it be they simply can’t stomach a world where their sacred cows aren’t untouchable?
