One

of those barbs,

The Conservative War on Reality.

The Legacy of the War on Reality.

Facts? Optional!

Reality? Multiple choice!
Questions? Part of a conspiracy!

We have only one country;

we may not share the same reality,

but we share the same fate.

I sometimes wish we could have alternate universes. I’d live in the one where liberal ideals prevailed and laugh at the one where conservatives live, one that resembles the Middle ages—a theocracy where lords dominate the serfs.

In my fantasy, I say, “Go ahead and vote for Romney.  You’ll get what you deserve.” But I don’t live in an alternate universe.  I live in the same country and I have to share their fate.
