"That is what APPEARED to happen." "We will see, but this is not about the facts. This is about APPEARANCES." "Facts are important. And in America, appearances frequently are more important than the facts." Thanks for your honesty. You are confirming a form of atrocious behavior I have adamantly taken a stand against most of my life. I have frequently stated the following when debating others who have insisted on, deceit, distortion & lies to support their faulty POV's.... <font size=4>Perception is reality..... regardless of the facts. If appearance is more important to you than facts, then we really have nothing worthwhile to debate. Why do you think this atrocious behavior is becoming more commonplace? Because their is a growing audience ready to accept such behavior & a shrinking audience that will speak out against it.<font size=3> My heated debates in the past with folks like bonnuss_in_austin are a perfect example why. They had no need for facts or reality. They had an agenda to accomplish & in their mind, the end justified the means. All they were interested in was creating a perception via lies & intentional deceit. Once their perception took hold, a false reality was created that some folks firmly believed in. Agenda accomplished. Who cares if it was all based on lies & deceit lies? Perhaps you have no problem with liberal politicians & liberal media repeatedly lying, distorting, intentionally deceiving & selectively reporting to create the appearance of a reality that never existed. That's a slippery slope I want no part of. I have little respect for those who are willing to cling to an ideology by simply accepting the perception of an alternate reality over one that is supported by facts. Always have. Always will.
