Heck, you're actually doing it to yourself while I'm watching.

You can't get past the memes. "Bush is an idiot" is written in the core memory, and the facts slip easily off the surface.

A solid year of Bush using the last dregs of his political capital to back the surge against ferocious Democratic opposition. General Petraeus sitting there taking abuse and being called a liar for daring to suggest that his counterinsurgency policies were actually improving the situation. Democratic attempt after attempt to force a withdrawal at the height of the battle.

Never happened. None of it.

I wonder what Orwell would have thought if he'd known that the mind controllers wouldn't even need the rat cage. Just a simple appeal to their own sense of self-virtue and always being right.
