Cirque du DeLay? | MetaFilter: "All because at some point, somewhere, you fell for one of the economic or social con games that they run every day on the gullible American public, and faced with the prospect of admitting to yourself that you were conned, you prefer to insist that no, it's the 'liberals' who are somehow wrong. How are we wrong? I suppose it depends on what 'wrong' means. To me it means 'contrary to the facts', but I guess if you're willing to vary that definition, you can protect yourself for a long time from having to honestly make an assessment of your beliefs and actions. To me wrongness implies an obligation to change one's mind if present with contrary facts, but you chimpchumps call that 'flipflopping', and you sneer, jeer, and fling your poo at us for it. Wake up, grow up, and apply the critical thinking you used to be taught in school, by the liberal teachers your fellow-travellers have enthusiastically tried to drive out of your educational system, to the actions of the Bush administration."
