"Facts" are meaningless nuisances.. to those who are going to believe
Edited on Mon Oct-05-09 12:51 PM by Peacetrain
what they want to believe.

When people are so entrenched in their version of what is real, anything that gets in the way of that.. even if it is beneficial to them.. is just useless noise on the edges of their personal reality.

We can't do a thing, with people who are going to believe what they want to believe.

The truth be damned.

Even when proven wrong, they move the "goalposts" to fit their original presumptions.

Not a thing we can do about it.

1. Oh, not meaningless at all to them.
Facts are dreadful enemies to them.

2. So true.. With Beck, Limbaugh, and Hannity as some of the most delusional
I tuned into Limbaugh for maybe 5 minutes today, (have not done that in months) and for all practical purposes in that 5 minutes he was calling for an overthrow of the government.

They really have lost touch with reality
