It looks like The Bush Team (with a little help from the Neocon speech writers) are Cherry Picking again. (Cherry picking is the act of pointing at individual data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related data that may contradict that position.) This time it's Thomas Jefferson's words that are on the chopping block... Bush sputtered, on the 4th of July, one of Jefferson's last quotes, to the few who still think 'HE'S DOING A GOOD JOB'. But he left out the following passage: "under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves"... Interesting, that he chose to leave out such words. I wonder if he thinks, that's a bit too close for comfort, of what he thinks of his unquestioning followers. We must redact the quote, don't want to hurt our standings with the base... No big deal, after all that's what we do best... Redact, remake, alter, amend, change, modify, overhaul, redo and revise, "THE TRUTH", so it will fit nicely into our Neocon secret and devious plans. thinkingblue.blogspot
Till the end, they just won't quit misconstruing the truth. GOOD RIDDANCE!
