I pity you.

I pity you.

Blake’s entire posting strategy in a nutshell!

Faith, Certainty and the Presidency of George W. Bush

Excerpt:

“In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn’t like about Bush’s former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House’s displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn’t fully comprehend — but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency.

The aide said that guys like me were ”in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who ”believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ”That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. ”We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

Who besides guys like me are part of the reality-based community? Many of the other elected officials in Washington, it would seem.”

Conservatives seem to feel that the truth should be "self- evident", while the Dems, and especially the "progressive liberal" wing seems to think that it can "create" the perception of truth, or an alternate truth that takes the place of the real truth, and thus is "perceived" as the real truth. This despite the fact that one cannot "create" the TRUTH- one can only lie convincingly enough that some people believe it to be true. It is still a LIE.
