Can I prove anything, to you?

For salvation from the reality disconnect syndrome, I suggest you read this speech -- delivered to the 1974 West Point graduating class.

Ah, yes -- Ayn Rand. Her "rational" premises are mutually contradictory, and her "highest moral good" is utterly subjective (fatal for a supposedly objective philosophy). As such, she's a moral looter and a philosophical fraud.

Now, let's consider your statement:

"The beauty of a truth based in reality is that it is not a matter of belief -- you know it is true."

I know that God exists. What are you going to say about that?

Has it ever occurred to you that your tagline is a bizarre contradiction of your stated beliefs?

America is truly blessed ... with George W. Bush as President.

The state of being "blessed" presupposes someone doing the blessing. Who do you suppose blessed America by putting George Bush in the White House?

(Hint: if you say, "the electorate," I'm going to insist that you go into business selling bumperstickers that read, "Voters Bless America" ... in Florida.)
