It does not sometimes equal “A” and sometimes equal “B”.
It does not equal “C” just because someone decides that they don’t like “A” very much.
It does not magically transform itself into “D” because that will generate more headlines.
No matter how loud or how long someone may insist that it is really “E”, it remains “A”.
Even if someone proclaims that he was elected as a visionary leader precisely because he was the only one to see it as “F”, it is still “A”.
When every short-sighted sycophant in the land joins the deranged visionary in proclaiming it to be “G”, eternally it is “A”.
When the Senators who have sold their hearts, minds and souls to that lunatic in hopes of riding his coattails to power deny their own senses and agree that it MUST be “H”, “A” is always “A”.
No matter how many well-intentioned Citizens renounce their capacity for rational thought and join in the demented chorus that This time it is “I”, “A” remains “A”.
To deal with facts rationally, you must first be able to recognize and accept them as facts. Failure to do so is a pretty good working definition of a madman.
