Romney fought to win the primary, but never did use those same tactics against President Obama or the Democrat leadership that tanked this nation beginning in 2007.
Fact: today I am alive on the earth. Tomorrow I die. Again, facts are circumstances that are changeable, etc. etc...
Look at how you state the facts in example, though. You explicitly say you own a particular kind of car “today.” Whatever changes tomorrow, the fact of what you own today remains true forever. Facts are not changeable.
You go on to specify that you are alive “today.” Should you die tomorrow it will still be a fact that you were alive today. That can never change. (Unless, again, God’s omnipotence means he can reach into the past and change facts. I’ve never been clear on the extent of his supposed powers.)
Well, this is getting a little far out, but I don’t think you would disagree that circumstances change. That’s the point.
Circumstances do change, yes. But then I suppose what I most disagree with is your statement that “facts ate circumstances that are changeable.” Facts may be circumstances, or circumstances factual, and circumstances may be changeable, but facts are not.
Think of it as it is a fact that circumstances were so and so at such and such time and place. Should circumstances change there will be new facts. But the previous fact will remain the same.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness...."
Absolutely true and my knowledge is first hand.
I remember it. We’re living through it now.
OK but to put it in you vernacular, there's no such thing as previous truth. Truth is the same, past, present, and future. That's the point.
Proving once again that winners always rewrite history in the absence of proof to the contrary, while at the same time omitting the essential essence of the history they are altering.
If you who are a scifi fan: the Babylon 5 episode “Sleeping in the Light” makes this point very dramatically.
Modern American thought: If it exists in 2012, then it always existed.
Islamic thought : if it is not mentioned in the koran, then it is anathema and must be destroyed.
All the leftists have to do -- err, have done -- is to gain control of the "snopes.com" so that their propaganda becomes the "trustworthy, TRUE truth."
This way to 1984, Winston Arbesman.
You stupid F*cktard.
(Incidentally, this may have some bearing on a certain COLB which has been in-and-out-of-controversy...)

Let's start plastering this all over the web and beat Pelosi, Reid, Obama, and Weepy Boner over the head with it.
Cheers!
In essence, they created election day flash mobs out of single-information, low information parasitic voters.
