The point is that this thread started out with the Republican Talking Points for why gasoline costs so much here in the USA, taken straight from the mouths of dingbats like Rush and Hannity, but that the reality is so far from what they say that it's almost like it's a different reality.
OK...it's not almost like that, it is that. The "non-reality based" reality that the Bush Administration, their talking heads in the media, and apparently 28% of America likes to live in.
Fortunately the other 72% of us use our brains more than that, and can easily find the actual facts within a few minutes of looking...should we care to look, of course.
Non-reality based folks don't like to look much...it challenges their non-reality too much...I mean, how can good American patriots like Rush and Hannity be lying to us? They tell us how much they love America and how everyone who disagrees with them doesn't...why shouldn't we trust them?
Real Fact: Those who primarily get their news and information from FoxNews know less at the end of the broadcast than they did at the beginning...a net loss of anything close to "the truth".
It would be fun just to say stuff like that, since it's true and pisses off the 28% Non-Reality inhabitants, but there was an actual study done on it...FoxNews listners actually not only know far less than those who get their information from more and varied sources, but they actually kow less at the end of watching Sean Hannity than they did at the beginning of the show.
...the funny part is that the illustrious leaders of the non-reality based 28% of America like it that way. The last thing they need is you knowing their full of crap.
Fish on...
