The letter is an example of the kind of unsubstantiated trash that those who are for the most part uninformed send out. Those who originally sent the letter out felt that everyone should read it and find out the "truth about our president.
I partially agree with these people. I believe all should get a chance to read the letter, not to find out the "truth about our president, but to find out the truth about those who write such letters and those who showed up yesterday in Washington DC.
Well known writer/author Ron Suskind wrote an article for The New York Times in October of 2004. The title of the article is "Without A Doubt . The article dealt with the then potential consequences of the results of the 2004 presidential election. The following is an excerpt from Suskind's article:
"In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn't like about Bush's former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House's displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn't fully comprehend -- but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency.
"The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- 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."
It seems clear that the letter writer, as well as those who "marched on Washington" yesterday, may still believe in the practice of trying to create reality. The letter, after all, is extremely creative.
I read this ugly, lie riddled letter and I felt obligated to point out some of the fantasies.
