"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," journalist Ron Suskind writes. "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.'"
this sort of thinking leads to this sort of happy responding: stopping in occasionally on this cesspool of self righteous hypocrisy ,censorship ,hippy fascism and self (american ) flagellation only makes me more eager to get out the vote for BUSH!
the idea that simply accepting on some sort of distorted view of eschatological epistemology that various components of the political landscape will be this way or that way, disregarding totally any factual or artifactual objective reality based constructs. to act from a place of dreamstates, the notion that each individual creates their own continuum of reality where all other relational constructs are dependent in all respects on the dreamer, in leading a powerful nation on this planet risks not only the well being of the human population in one's own nation as well as the rest of the planet, but also every single other species of every kingdom of living . we are in serious danger. these people have no operant theological premise except that power manifests itself through them.. if ever there was a mind virus this is it.. a hideous and horrible viral entity that replicates itself through creating disbelief sufficient to reinput nonsensical frames of reference that are not questioned or evaluated..
