Not liberal, not progressive - "reality-based"

[Memekiller]

In light of Suskind's article, from now on my political identity will be "reality-based". And I, for one, am tired of the bias the media has against the reality-based community. I demand equal time.

1. Hit them in the paycheck.

Otherwise, you'll have to offer them a larger one than they're getting from the lying piece of shit traitors who are paying them now.

2. Costs of ignoring reality far greater, IMO...

At the very least, in the name of balance, every time the media pimps a story like the Swift Boat Vets or Mary Cheney not being openly gay, they should devote the same amount of time to a story in reality, I think, just to be fair.

3. We have to fight the prejudiced, anti-reality administration!!

Our reality-based existence is marginalized and discriminated against on a daily basis in Bushworld.

4. Whilst i agree totally

I can't help but wonder, when the population is so ignorant. I've
been doing some moonlighting here:

Its a talk board nearer to a swing state, and desperately needs
some "reality". Just i notice, that the republican freepers buzz
around like flies, distorting english, framing sterotypes and
arguments for their own advantage, that as a reasoned reality-based person...

Its like punching air whilst insects bite every exposed area of your
skin. Their sick minds come from television and the cynical soundbytes
that define discussion. These biting flies just go around attacking,
and if you swat 1 mosquito, another bites the back of your hand.

Boy, i'm glad DU has moderators, as the freep flies can degenerate
anything, and it seems their entire purpose is to enrage, to insult
and attack anything democratic or liberal.

When the world is not reality based, being reality based is not
particularly effective.

5. I agree, reality is discriminated against...

...but I think that if we organize together, those grounded in reality can also be accepted members of the communtiy, possibly even embraced. I'm tired of standing by, afraid to speak a particular fact about this administration out of fear of how that fact might be percieved.

I'm not ashamed any more. I believe in reality, and I'm proud!
