Do you think Republicans live in another dimension ?? |
|
(insert Twilight Zone themesong) Where their version of reality is 180 degrees opposite of yours. And what is true to you and everyone you know is unrecognizable to them? They truly believe their distortions are the truth. It doesn't matter if it doesn't match the facts as you know them. Your facts are not part of their dimension.

3. Finally, someone has explained it. |
|
I always wondered why my mom's world was so different from mine. She must live in a parallel universe. How else could she honestly believe Bush is intelligent and thoughtful and a good leader. I could never understand it, but now it all makes sense. There is a parallel universe where Bush actually is a good leader, and the Republicans are somehow tuned into that dimension and aren't really seeing our dimension at all!
It's all so clear to me now!

7. They simply don't care about truth |
|
all they care about their side winning. They are almost have an overabundance of at least one of four things- their four horsemen, if you will:
ignorance
avarice
intolerance or
apathy (of the existential variety)

8. It's Mass Cognitive Dissonance |
|
When people are confronted with new facts which contradict what they thought they knew was true , they resist accommodating the new knowledge . Unfortunately , FOX , Limbaugh and the like reinforce right wingers efforts to ignore the truth in front of their eyes . When Kerry is elected along with majorities in Congress one of the first orders of business should be to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and break up the concentration of media ownership .

i am astonished every day by what's going on, so much so i think seriously of dropping out of info age (if you want, you can go weeks w/out hearing anything about news)....i understand the neocons, who are driven by hatred of 'activists' the 60's counterculture etc. i can fathom the dupes; there has always been dupes ie: in last days of WW2 allied soldiers were confronted by old men clutching rusty shotguns and underage kids who had no idea of how to shoot their weapons.....they were absolutely dedicated to the leader! What can't be understood, and what no explanation satisfies, is those numberless, very intelligent, experienced HARDROCK professionals in the news media industry who MUST KNOW, even better then we do, the enormity of what the bush gangsters are doing, and not only support them but instinctively, at possible risk to themselves, both cover up the truth and serve up a constant stream of vitally important lies...... it's as if they're ruled by some racial imperative or something (though bush's success actually damages their own, and their offsprings', interests!) in the end, final analysis, remember that 'nothing FAILS like success when working for the devil' and bushinc is a devil, that's for sure.....years from now those who advocate bushevikism with be haunted by our failure to stop the monkee. They think the 'liberal left' is stronger then it really is....so fuckem.

On the night Republicans were celebrating "diversity" in the party, most delegates were unable to tell the difference between Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Don King, according to the veteran black New York Congressman Charles Rangel.
"I had people coming up to me and asking for autographs, mistaking me for all of them," he said. The Democrat Congressman, who is appearing live at the convention each night on a local television network, said it was a sad reflection on the lack of real diversity among the Republican grassroots but added: "I still sign the autographs anyway."
