The Mother of All Lies

I’m not sure the history of our times will ever be written. It might be the end times or some descent into an Orwellian nightmare in which history doesn’t exist anymore. Anyway, if it does get written in some rational, intelligible, honest and even-handed way I wonder if the Second Amendment battle will be seen as a turning point.

If they could bully their way into enforcing an obvious lie in that case why not carry on from there? They wanted to have their guns and so fuck the truth. They wanted to have a war in Iraq and so fuck the truth. They want to cut taxes—ALWAYS—and so fuck the truth, that it is the worst economic and social policy ever.

Fuck the truth. Can anybody really believe that “rising tide” and “supply side” aren’t just incredible, self-serving lies at this point? So, it’s not about guns or economics anymore, it’s about ensuring that there is NEVER any accountability because they can’t have that. Do you see what I’m saying? The lies have value now AS LIES.

They have value independently of the content. The promulgators of this have to erode the truth to protect themselves. The Left has their lies as well as well but it is nothing like this. Theirs are more like exaggerations. Theirs are pitiful and pathetic. The Left’s lies don’t even empower them. They still try to empower everybody. 

How quaint. How passé. How ridiculous. And what a shame it’s why the country was created in the first place, to include and empower its citizens.
