Fact Versus Fiction
Posted by Michelle Moquin on August 20th, 2009
I spoke briefly yesterday of ‘feelings’ when it came to republicans and the facts about health care. (quoting Bill Maher) Really, it’s not just health care that their ‘feelings’ get in the way of, but today, that is what I am focusing on.
This video was on the Rachel Maddow show Tuesday night. And because I know that there are many republicans who also read my blog, who watch FOX News and who most likely don’t watch MSNBC or CNN (at least the nonpartisan poll reports this – you’ll soon see), I was just compelled to post it. The entire video is over 10 minutes, but it is really just the first 3 and a half minutes that I want you to watch, unless you care to hear Bill Maher’s comments which, hey why not? He’s got something to say too.
The video is very revealing….The GOP lives in their own little world when it comes to ‘the facts’….Rachel calls it a miniverse within our universe. Check it out:
Well Readers? Eye opening? Yes. Surprising? Not really considering republicans get there facts(?) from FOX.
I would love to hear from some republicans out there. So GOP….Are you going to let the facts speak for themselves or are you going to let your feelings speak for you, and continue to live in your own little miniverse? Blog me.

Al Fresco: No apology necessary. What you said helped me explain my reasons for writing what I wrote so don’t be so hard on yourself. You did not sound self righteous. Thanks for doing what you do.
Zen Lill: Oh how I would’ve loved to have been at that Thanksgiving dinner with your family. Priceless.
Marian: Being in the meat of it all, every day, it is hard to step outside and experience what readers experience. I may have started it but it is the commentators that add the tenderizing juice. :)
Edward: You couldn’t be more far from the truth. I agree with Al…if someone pays you, you should refund their money. Doug pretending to be Al and sometimes moi? Edward, you are just not good at your job. Seek new employment, please. Really, take our advice. In regards to Zen Lill and I being similar….Yes, we may be good friends but our syntax the same?….That’s quite a stretch Edward; not even close.
Zen Lill: That is exactly what I enjoy about your writing; It is so different from mine. When you write I feel like I am in your presence listening to you talk. I get a total kick out of it. It makes me feel like I am around you all of the time, and I like that because I don’t get to see you enough.
Britney: Thank you for sharing your fascinating adventure. It seems that humans acquire some wonderful capabilities while in another dimension. And it seems you handled yourself well. I have heard nothing but good things in regards to the girls on this last mission. Congratulations.
Got to run now….peacin’ out.
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle

Hi Michelle, It bugged me when I read Edward’s comment yesterday, proclaiming his being a professional in detecting plagiarism on the Internet.
His belief that Al is Doug, and You are Zen Lill made me chuckle. It is preposterous to me, who lives in reality.
Even though I was not mentioned, I was sitting about 10 feet away from Al as he wrote his blog response to Edward, and I too, am a real person.
Although we have had our ups and downs, Michelle, one thing you are is real. You are a true Activist and no one can take that away from you.
You inspire many people with your blog. You believe in your Posts and causes wholeheartedly. No one can take that away from you.
When I see know-it-alls like Edward being paid to be 100% wrong, it makes me wonder how many so-called professionals are as unqualified as Edward. How many Doctors, Lawyers and Public Servants who do not know their collective asses from their elbows.
I want to thank the one and only real Zen Lill for thinking about me. I appreciate it :).

Hi Mischa, I do know a few repugs who only watch Fox, scary…I watch several networks and tune into Fox when I can feel amused by their strange mantra about ‘getting our country back’ – oh and that’s bc repugs did such a fine job with our country under, um, Bush???! WTF…?
Mischa, I feel the same way about reading here, it’s like spending time together. I’m glad my writing voice is so clearly like me off-line. And yes, you would have laughed your buns off at that Thanksgiving dinner, its made for a good laugh over the years : )
Howie, you are so welcome. You bring up a very good point about a variety of areas of ‘expertise’ if our ED is an example of a PRO well, we better do our research before hiring our so-called experts.
Is there an alien on board the blog? Viv, Zmiv? Dinner with Ed soon? Think about it : )
Viv, is all that important stuff done yet? I’m waiting : )
Luv, Zen
