We were told that the GOP intended to create its own reality
from a Ron Suskind article:

...'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.''

whether it is the current 'Path to 9/11' or some other devious project, these folks have no intention of relinquishing any power and will do anything to retain it. We have to be vigilant all the time.

I am so serious about this that I intend to insert into my Will/Trust a warning to my family that comes after me...not to drink the koolaid.

1. Excellent.
Yeppir, the right wing nuts have always had their private little Idaho thing going, but unfortunately they can't keep it to themselves. Their horrible fiascos are ruining it for everyone, the globe, for the late,great planet Earth!
