	<description>Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.</description>

		<description>America will always be guilty of racism, and we will be the Evil Ones.  Meanwhile, every one else across the face of the earth will get to walk away scot-free, with blessed lives of innocence.

That&#039;s just the way it is, from the time liberals wake up, until the time they go to sleep.  You can ignore all their protestations contrary.  Those rare and momentary protestations are just their rudimentary consciences murmuring, every once in a while; and quickly forgotten.</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;By being noncommittal and evasive, Obama has become whatever anyone wants him to be. &gt;&gt;

Who was it in days of old?  The Oracle at Delphi?  She spoke in nonsense words that each person could interpret as whatever they thought she meant?  And by the time the predicted future arrived, the exact words had been forgotten so that the Oracle was remembered as having spoken the truth?

Obama the Oracle...

Just what we need...!</description>

		<description>Well, we are judged by our deeds. By being noncommittal and evasive, Obama has become whatever anyone wants  him to be. So, in spite of what he has said or even voted, he can be against abortion to Helen. He also can be both for the preservation of marriage between a man and a woman and against prop. 8, for lowering taxes and for raising taxes, and on and on.

You can&#039;t be president by nuance. 

BTW, everyone I work with voted for Obama. None had ever heard of the LA Times tape, even though they subscribe to the LA Times.</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;There are many ways of knowing. I want to know what the facts mean not just what the facts are. In other words, it’s the truth I’m after, not just the facts.&lt;&lt;

Policeman: &quot;Why did you run that stoplight? It&#039;s as plain as day.&quot;

Helen: &quot;Well, I know it exists but I wanted to get at the truth behind it. To you it&#039;s a signal, to me it&#039;s, well, it&#039;s something I want to plumb, explore, engage with and understand.&quot;

Policeman: &quot;Well, while you&#039;re busy understanding, the fine will be $150.&quot;</description>

For example, when Obama answered the roll call rather than voting for a bill that partial birth abortion, does that mean he&#039;s for abortion, against abortion, or that the bill was written in a convoluted way, so that he opposed other portions of it that had nothing at all to do with abortion?  Just saying.

		<description>Charles -

The only reason that the rest of us are not shocked by Helen&#039;s guess is that we have spent many-a-night wading through some real humdingers of hers.  But yes, this one ranks pretty high up there.

But hang around.  Over time, the shock will wear off and Helen will become one of your favorite posters.

And Helen, even though when I read your posts I often feel as if I&#039;ve taken a hard fall down a rabbit hole and am traveling in an Alice-in-Wonderland sort of world, I hope you know that while I vigorously disagree with your ideas and think that many of them lead to consequences that are not good for Americans, I do enjoy your participation and wish you well.
