For the liberal, the ends justify the means at every turn, that is why “Facts Don’t Matter”.

Didn’t matter when Roe v Wade was decided. Didn’t matter now with the Iraq and Global Warming. It’s the agenda, stupid.

First to respond, Jeralyn Merritt stated, in unequivocal terms “Facts Don’t Matter!”

As anyone who's ever had the misfortune of stumbling across this sad, lonely creature's web site could readily assure you: Not A Real Big Shock, Here. ;)

If facts don’t matter, then I guess anything goes, as the lefties would want it to: unlimited abortion on demand, court-ordered euthanasia, complete government regulation of the media and internet (goodbye talk radio and FR), taxation to whatever levels are decreed “just” by the self-proclaimed ‘smart people’, universal health care run by the government. It’s kind of like Through The Looking Glass, although it may more mirror the Hillary Administration than fantasy.

Daily KOS founder Markos Zuniga (from the floor) weighed in by repeating the phrase loudly, to the surprise of a few of us in the room. “No. The Facts Don’t Matter.”

And I caught a snippet on TV this morning that Zuniga will be joining Newsweak Magazine in some repertorial capacity soon. We already knew that facts don't matter to Newsweak but this is absolute public proof!

Facts don’t matter, as long as the Kool-aide tastes good.

Does anything illustrate the childishness of the left more than this statement? “I want what I want, and facts don’t matter.” That’s a six-year old kid’s logic.

No surprise that to Jeralyn Merritt, a moonbat, leftist attorney, facts don’t matter.

The facts have never mattered to the Left.

In fact, to the Left there are no facts - only spin.

Since Markos has been signed to write about Election ‘08 for Newsweek, I guess they’ve found a way into the Old Media.

I wonder if anyone got this on tape. It would be great on YouTube, then it can be continually refereed to when arguing with the Left on “issues”.

Facts Don’t Matter UNTIL the facts support their cause. Then, they matter. A lot.

This is why we can no longer live with these people. I want them out of my society.

It shows how dangerous they actually are. Like a monkey with a pistol.

No, they don’t have a problem with proclaiming “the facts don’t matter”, precisely because the outcomes are all that are important.

And that goal, everyone should understand, is the destruction of our traditional society and the left having total power over your lives, livelihoods, and children.

They don’t need to be reasoned with, or converted to reason. They need to be DESTROYED (ideologically).

Merritt responded again, “That’s right. Facts Don’t Matter. We want our troops home. Until they are home, the war was just a mistake.”

It doesn't "matter" if it was a mistake or not (debatable). They want to the troops home. Period. But they'll still call them baby killers as they do today.

Bringing the troops home won't "correct" any "mistake". It'll just end the war. And no sense "debating" the aftermath with the antiAmerican war movement, "facts don't matter" to them.

Welcome to 21st Century Rightwing Conservatism!

They just now realize "facts do not matter"

And, they are SHOCKED! Absolutely SHOCKED!

There are many miles to travel here.

Best regards to all,

Dissent is protected speech. Treason is not.

Lock them up and throw away the key.
