Truthiness: a word whose time has come

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness

'Truthiness' hasn't come into use in the UK much but boy does it need to. Thing is, it was invented (or, actually, re-invented, as the word seems to have existed before) to critique a Republican government who seemed unconcerned with providing rational justifications for their actions. But anyone of the Left simply has to rely on it far more than Conservatives do. The facts of life turn out to be Tory. That's because Toryism is concerned with abiding truth. Socialism and so on lookss not to the reality of people and works with the grain of human nature, but says people ought to be thus and so and then squeezes us poor misshapen actual real people into the cookie cutter. Truthiness: because truth can only give you one answer. That's what's wrong with 'compassionate conservatism': Conservatism is all facts, no heart. That's its beauty. And it still leaves room (far more room) for real charity and compassion that big government and limited personal responsibility.
