Diagnosing a Political Disorder?

Hilariously on-target:

... this may be a once-in-a-generation opportunity for right thinking people to confront a specific, widespread mental disorder that has long driven us crazy: what I call Airhead Liberalism Political Disorder or ALPD for short. This is not a coherent ideology like Socialism or Marxism. Rather, it is a style of political engagement whose purpose is psychological satisfaction independent of actual of costs or benefits. In a nutshell: if advocating a policy makes me feel good about myself, it’s a good policy.

Well, DUH! Thanks, Captain Obvious. Have you noticed that nowadays everyone cares about meaning well? Consequences be damned! If you engage in a policy that makes you feel good (such as dumping billions of dollars into African aid or driving the entire country into unprecedented debt-helotry), who cares if the actual result is failure and misery on a massive scale? You meant well. That's all that matters, sweetie pie. Who cares about REALITY? Good intentions, good intentions. They're paramount. But hasn't anybody recalled that "good intentions" show up in an axiom that's too often true?
