Life in Post-Truth America

Via WRSA


Next month Americans will experience the fifteenth anniversary of the time that the President of the United States shook his finger at the country and informed it, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never.”

Bill Clinton was lying. But the lie was more significant than the thing that he was lying about.

When the lie came crashing down, Clinton and his defenders deconstructed the English language, questioning the meaning of every word in his sentence rather than admit that the lie was a lie.

Given a choice between telling the truth or challenging the definitions of such words as “sex” and “is”, they decided to burn their dictionary.

Clinton’s antics set the stage for a current administration which can never be caught in a lie because it’s lying all the time. Obama and his people don’t just lie, they lie about the lies and then they lie about those lies. Bringing them in to testify just clogs the filters with an extra layer of lies.

  2. Lying is tolerated because people want to be lied to. How one feel trumps object reality. Again, we are living in a post-Christian pagan culture. But notice too, how lying is a one way street for the Lefties. For a Leftie, lying is as natural as breathing, and is perfectly acceptable if it advances "the cause". How ever that same Leftie is shocked and outraged if any one else does it.
