Welcome to the cult of Neoconservative reality
A White House 'senior adviser' to president Bush, The New York Times reported, explained the cult of Bush's regime to author Ron Suskind in the heady pre-war days of 2002.
The top Bush insider mocked the journalist and all those 'in what we call the reality-based community' i.e., people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' Suskind's attempt to defend the principles of reason and enlightenment cut no ice with the Bush-man.
'That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality,' he said. 'And while you're studying that reality, we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.'
