“Bending over to plant the flags brought me eye-level with the lettering on those marble stones. The stories continued with each one. Distinguished Service Cross. Silver Star. Bronze Star. Purple Heart. America’s wars marched by. Iraq. Afghanistan. Vietnam. Korea. World War II. World War I. Some soldiers died in very old age; others were teenagers. Crosses, Stars of David, Crescents and Stars. Every religion, every race, every age, every region of America is represented in these fields of stone.” -Tom Cotton

Precisely because those things don't stand up to any level of scrutiny. But, they try, try, and try again. Incrementalism seems to be their preferred method of advancing their agenda.]

“Sometimes people fool themselves into believing things that aren’t true. Sometimes that can be quite dangerous for the person. They see the world in a wrong way. They won’t let themselves see that what they believe is wrong. But often there is a part of the mind that does know, and the right words can let it out.” -Mr. Nutt, Unseen Academicals
[There are a lot of people expressing things that show they have been fooling themselves. Particularly about a certain event and the changes they'd like to see as a result of what has happened.]
