The Anchoress Online rips into the culture of flexible truth. A magnificent rant! Here's an excerpt:

A few people, however, are starting to look around and are saying, “well…I might be a Democrat, but that doesn’t mean I have to swallow this crapola.” Or they’re saying, “just because we replaced feckless Republicans with you, that doesn’t mean we told you to demoralize and undercut the troops and leave the Iraqi people to a bloody fate. Or to screw around for your personal gain” They’re saying, “how is it Israel is the bad guy when Hamas - whom we fund like mad - is saying they want to kill all Americans?” They’re saying “what’s this nonsense about some churches needing to get with the times, when the ones that embrace modernity are imploding and the church set most palpably in the 8th century is the one being pandered to, left and right? What’s up with that?”

What some people are actually starting to say is: “When the evidence of something is right in front of my face, why do you insist on telling me that what I am seeing is not what is real, that what I am hearing is not really being said, that what my own reason can sensibly deduce makes no sense? Stop telling me I don’t know what I’m encountering and that my reason is faulty. Stop telling me that the Bush White House “outted” Valerie Plame to punish Joe Wilson, when your own boy Richard Armitage admitted to doing the job. Stop telling me he lied to us about yellowcake while neglecting to mention that the Butler report confirmed the intelligence. Cease this nonsense that everyone loved America until 2003. For the love of Pete, don’t tell me George Tenet is saying something other than yes, Saddam did have WMD. Stop feeding me bullshit narratives that have barely a nodding acquaintance with the truth, because it’s starting to seriously piss me off!”
