   What is there not to understand?

   The truth doesn’t matter (e.g.).

   Repetition is all that matters. “Reality is what we say it is.”

   The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, because the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad.

   The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them more easy victims of a big lie than a small one, because they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell big ones.

   Such a form of lying would never enter their heads. They would never credit others with the possibility of such great impudence as the complete reversal of facts. Even explanations would long leave them in doubt and hesitation, and any trifling reason would dispose them to accept a thing as true.

   ~ Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf

   That’s why we need to own the media.

     After e.g., I meant to include this:

       Disgusting. Let’s face it, the Kennedys were notorious philanderers and libertines. Yet, to suggest that this was their sum total is like saying that Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky were all that Bill Clinton was about.

       And to do it with made up incidents and portray it as history?

       “The rich man and his ignorant son.” Wouldn’t that be the Bush’s rather than the Kennedy’s?

     That’s why nobody should own the media. Democrats or Liberals have no special morality. That’s where Marx went wrong, thinking the proletariat had some special moral virtue. I’m a proletarian and I can assure you, we have no special moral virtue. Quo Custodiat (sic?) is still the unanswerable question.

   Captured: two Taliban leaders.

   That’s all you need to know.

   Real life is good.

   That’s what happens when you’re a new dad.  Other things begin to seem less important.

   Why bipartisanship is stupid:

   “If I hadn’t been a part of the debate, you would already have universal health care,” Enzi said Monday, according to a report in the Casper Star-Tribune.

   Mike Enzi is a fucknutted shitweasel.

   Can the Democrats “grow a pair?” I’ve also been AWOL because of life intervening. The apparent cowardice of Democrats has sickened me, given the time I’ve devoted to passionate advocacy.

   It is absolutely incongruous to me how the Democrats can give in to idiocy here, or how the American public can look at the Republicans right now.

   What am I missing here?

   Bob McDonnell’s bigotry is running strong, and he’s destroying my state:
