If so, according to the Bush team, you’re in the minority, and you don’t count.
… Mark McKinnon, a longtime senior media adviser to Bush, who now runs his own consulting firm and helps the president. He started by challenging me. ”You think he’s an idiot, don’t you?” I said, no, I didn’t. ”No, you do, all of you do, up and down the West Coast, the East Coast, a few blocks in southern Manhattan called Wall Street. Let me clue you in. We don’t care. You see, you’re outnumbered 2 to 1 by folks in the big, wide middle of America, busy working people who don’t read The New York Times or Washington Post or The L.A. Times. And you know what they like? They like the way he walks and the way he points, the way he exudes confidence. They have faith in him. And when you attack him for his malaprops, his jumbled syntax, it’s good for us. Because you know what those folks don’t like? They don’t like you!” In this instance, the final ”you,” of course, meant the entire reality-based community.
…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.”

Nice find. These coachroaches infest our liberty explaining how we are all road kill on the scope of life and existance.
We matter, and come November 2nd. They’ll find out just how much us “Little People,” will straighten out things and act with faith in our voices as a changing force in this path we’re all on.
We on the cyber level will take apart just about all the BS they try to feed people. And I see desparation in their eyes.
It is our duty to inform people of the issues.
America wakes from a slumber.
While some us of are quite busy, we’re not all ignorant. And WE do read. We read alot.
To dispose of bloggers and users of the internet; no matter where they are from.
Is to dispose of community.
But in their minds, that’s exactly what they want. People staggering around in flurry of fog so that they forget what is important, that they forget the Amercian dream.
