From a philosophical standpoint, the truth is a funny thing
because there are more than 20 different types of it. But when one speaks of
the truth in general they mean factual truth. The left has so distorted the
very concept of truth that it is nearly unrecognizable. Over at
Western Hero,
he has a quote from Dan Ariely who wrote the book The (Honest) Truth About
Dishonesty. Mr. Ariely said:
"We lie. We
cheat. We bend the rules. We break the rules. And sometimes, as we’ve seen in Greece, it all
adds up. But, remarkably, this doesn’t stop us from thinking we’re wonderful,
honest people. We’ve become very good at justifying our dishonest behaviors so
that, at the end of the day, we feel good about who we are. This tendency is
only getting worse, and, as innocent as it may seem, the consequences are
becoming more apparent and more serious."
It wasn't always that way. There was once a time, not so
long ago, where you could count on a man's word. But just in my lifetime, that
has changed dramatically as both Western Hero and Mr. Ariely has noticed. I
have seen people lie in a court of law, lie to the IRS, lie to their spouses,
lie to each other, and I have seen the smiles they sport when they have gotten
away with it and the tears that they have shed when they didn't. But of all of
the liars that I have seen, the left is the worst of the lot by far.
Dishonesty is part and parcel of the left's DNA. They have
manufactured scientific data to support the lie that DDT was harmful, they
forged scientific data to support the global warming lie, they lied to ruin the
careers of real scientists who oppose global warming, they lied to support
eugenics and Margaret Sanger, they lie to support anything and everything of
the left's political agenda and they brand anyone who tells the truth a liar in
an attempt to ruin a good person's reputation.
For example, I recently had a back and forth with a leftie
on another blog regarding eugenicist Margaret Sanger. As per usual, he supplied
numerous links of questionable authority and claimed the high ground per his
"evidence." Never mind that the left has a habit of forging so called
evidence to back their political positions or that the left feels free to lie
with wild abandon. When I did not engage him further he called me a liar and
claimed victory in true leftist glory. Had he done that to my face, he would
have lost some teeth. You see, I am old school like that.
I was raised not to tell a lie and to always be honest
regardless of the circumstances or personal jeopardy. As I said, old school.
Calling a man a liar without justification was an invitation to brawl. This was
so because a man's honor had been challenged and if not answered with violence
then that man was a coward. I have posted on another blog that we need to return
to a time when a man was respectful to his fellows because if he wasn't, then
he risked getting his head broken open. It was less civil back in the day, but
it was more respectful. But dishonesty runs deeper than merely telling lies.
The recent revelations about the left's use of government
organs as weapons against their political enemies speaks volumes about their
lack of morals. Using the broad powers of the IRS to intimidate and to harass
political enemies is a dark and vile practice. It not only coats the left with
the pallor of the villain, but it also corrupts the reputation of the
government which is supposed to be neutral and by so doing people can no longer
trust their own government courtesy of these jackals. When the lines of
responsibility are traced, I suspect that the White House in general, and
Valerie Jarrett in particular, will be responsible for this perversion.
It was Ms. Jarrett's office who attempted to pervert the
National Endowment for the Arts some years ago. They spoke of using taxpayer
money and using code words to evade detection for this corruption of the
system. That is until the story broke open on Brietbart. While Jarrett was not
implicated directly, her office certainly was. Now we see that the IRS has been
weaponized by the left and that conservatives have been targeted for
persecution. Wonder who at the White House would do such a thing? Couldn't have
been Ms. Jarrett could it? She learned her lesson from the last time didn't
she?
You see, government agencies don't do anything without the
boss's approval. That's a good way to get your manhood slammed in a door. As
the senior brass at IRS knew about this persecution and lied about it to cover
their own misdoings, one can be certain that they were doing what they were told
to do and covering their boss's ass. Then there is the State Department and
it's lies about Benghazi.
The White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney, strutted out
before the nation's press and lied to the American people. He said that the
talking points that Ambassador Rice had been given were only edited once. They
were not, they were edited numerous times and all references to terror were
stricken form the CIA memo by Victoria Nuland who was apparently working on
orders from Hillary Clinton. Despite this, Secretary Clinton and President
Obama blamed a poorly made video and a spontaneous demonstration for the attack
that killed the Ambassador and three other Americans when they had direct
knowledge that it was a terrorist attack by elements working for Al Qaeda. They
lied to the families of the dead, to the American people, and to the press.
Worse, the press was looking to help them get away with it.
In collusion with the White House, the mainstream media has
tried to pawn off the story of leaving Americans to die on foreign soil to the
fevered imaginations at Fox News. To CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN it was all
much ado about nothing. Until the testimony from the whistleblowers left them
unable to do so. Now, all of a sudden, it is major news. Wait, wasn't all this
just hyped up pipe dreams of Fox? This is a watershed moment in history. Like
the anti-war protestors in the 1940's who were against the U.S. entering the
war before the Germans attacked the Soviets and then turned into pro-war
activists 24 hours after the invasion, the news has shown its true leftist
colors. But that isn't all that they have shown.
The media and the Democrats have been in bed with each other
since the 1950's when Newsweek and the DNC plotted on the best means of
targeting and taking out Senator Joe McCarthy. Since those days, they have
worked within the Democratic party, promoted a Democratic agenda, and covered
for Democratic abuses. That isn't true for the Republican Party. They use a
magnifying glass and a fine tooth comb to get dirt on those guys. There was a
time where they at least tried to maintain the illusion of objectivity, but that
time has long since passed and now folks like Chris "tingles" Mathews
are the norm on broadcast news where better than 70 percent of them favor the
left and attempt to skew the news in the left's favor.
In addition to covering for the left, there have been cases
where groups of journalists have conspired to harass and attack the Republican
Party. The now infamous JournoList
was created with that purpose in mind by Ezra Klein, who now works for The
Washington Post, and used the list to lie about Republicans to keep them off
balance and to prevent them from attacking Obama because they were too busy
fighting the fires that he started. The malfeasance of the press prevented the
vetting of the candidate and stories regarding his racist minister and his ties
to terrorism from being explored paving the way for his 2008 victory. And they
have never been called to account for it, nor will they be called on to explain
their assistance to the President in helping to cover up Benghazi. If there is such a thing as
journalistic ethics, those guys tossed it overboard long ago.
As bad as the
details that I have enumerated here are, there is much, much worse that I have
not delineated. Like Sandy Berger stealing classified documents from the
National Archives to prevent the truth from being known about his boss or the
fact that the records regarding Senator Joe McCarthy held at the National
Archives have been altered as late as 1994, or the fact that Hillary Clinton
was proven a liar when she testified before Congress that she had no input
regarding the security situation in Benghazi and that State Department security
experts made all of the decisions about consulate security and then her
signature shows up on a State Department memo denying additional security for
Benghazi.
There is also the
fact that former Speaker of the House Pelosi is a liar as proven when she said
that she had no idea that water boarding was taking place because she was never
advised prior to its implementation. But the CIA has records that prove that
she lied and was informed on at least two separate occasions prior to the
tactic being used and she approved of it before its use. And the list goes on,
and on, and on.
You hear about
the lefties saying that Bush was a liar and that there were no WMD's in Iraq. What they
don't tell you is that it is a fact that Saddam Hussein did try to acquire
yellow cake, it is a fact that WMD's were found months after the occupation of
Iraq, but the news never reported it, it is a fact that civilian planes were
stripped of their seats and were flown to Syria repeatedly with an unknown
cargo, it is a fact that Bush's intelligence reports were mirrored by foreign
intelligence, it is a fact that 14 UN resolutions compelled Saddam Hussein to
allow UN inspectors to access all areas of his nation and he never allowed them
that access, it is a fact that that Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons on his
own people. It is also a fact that there was linkage between Iraqi intelligence
and the 9/11 bombers. Those are the facts that the left will never tell you
because it doesn't fit their narrative. They would just rather say that he is a
liar and move on.
The trouble with
a liar is that they will always demand evidence from everyone else because they
know that they cannot be trusted. Because they cannot be trusted, they
automatically assume that you cannot be trusted either. With the advent of the
internet, they now have dozens of sites
with fabricated information to back up their lies and misinformation. Of
course, that is exactly what they accuse we conservatives of doing.
Therefore, I see
no end to the polarization of the population. When one segment of the population
uses lies, weaponizes the government, fabricates data to support their
arguments, and accuses their opposition of being liars merely because they
themselves can no longer be trusted, there can be no unity between right and
left. The poison of the left has done its job admirably and has destroyed a
nation built on the very concept of a united and equal people.
Europe
suffers from the same malady, but her condition is more advanced than ours.
From the outside she seems like a mighty oak, tall and strong, but if one were
to examine her core they would find it rotten and corrupt. Like ancient Rome, she will fall at
the first strong wind and there will be nothing left of her but mere fragments.
Islam is that wind and it will blow very hard in about 20 to 30 years.
In Islam, the
truth is also tortured and twisted. It is just that they have a name for it.
They call it Taqiyya and they use it to hide their intentions while they tell
the Kafir what he wants to hear. Is it any wonder that the left and Islam are such
close friends? The left even venerates domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers,
Bernadine Dohrn, and Kathy Boudin, among others treating them like leftist
Shaheed. It is just that the left plans to stab Islam in the back when they
have achieved their political goals.
Silly Westerners,
Islam will have none of that and they will kill you for trying. Islam will not
be used like toilet paper and they have plans for you as well. There is also no
such thing as extremism in Islam. The moderates are the odd man out, not people
like bin Laden. They follow the Koran like they are supposed to do and live
their lives based upon the example of Muhammad. The moderates do not. That is
who you plan to betray.
I will close with
a quote from President Obama's chief advisor, Valerie Jarrett, "Our whole
philosophy is one of transparency."
To which I say: Bullshit
