The American people are angry. They are frustrated. As
calamity engulfs the world they see their president adopting a “What Me Worry?”
attitude.
Worse yet, they hate being lied to. They hate being lied to,
over and over again, without anyone really caring. It’s
an old tactic used by totalitarian propagandists. You keep telling the same lie
until people have heard it so much that they assume it to be true.
Back in the day, during the Bush administration, the media
was abuzz over the idea that Bush had lied. Everyone was aghast that the
president had said that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but
then could not find any. Everyone assumed it was a lie.
The reason they thought so was that they do not know what a
lie is. They did not see that Bush was merely presenting the best intelligence
estimates gleaned from the world’s best intelligence agencies. The estimates were wrong, but there is such a thing as an honest mistake. And making an honest
mistake is not the same as a lie.
You recall that a dimwitted comedian made his way into the
United States Senate by writing a book entitled: Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. Evidently, he has a
limited vocabulary. And yet, the concept took hold and America elected a
president who promised to disengage from Iraq and Afghanistan and the Middle
East. Thanks to the constant attacks on Bush’s truthfulness, coupled with the fact
that the war was not going very well, the American people voted for a cowardly
pacifist who wanted to reach out to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Iranian mullahs.
And, of course, Barack Obama was an exceptionally good liar.
Obama and his media enablers see no reason to tell the American people the
truth. They simply kept saying that if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor and that if you like
your plan you can keep you plan… knowing all along that it was a gigantic lie.
And we have an administration that forces intelligence
officers to skew the data in order to make it appear that Obama’s fabrications
about ISIS and Islamic terrorism are true. Not only does Obama circumvent the
constitution by acting like a despot. He continues to lie about it.
Better yet, the Democrat party, having seen how successful
you can be by lying to the American people, is on the verge of nominating a
candidate who is an equally competent liar.
Now, Slate Magazine, hardly a hotbed of conservative
thought, has caught the Obama State Department in an especially egregious lie.
You see, John Kerry and his spokesman John Kirby have put out a list of the
administration’s 2015 foreign policy achievements.
One has no idea what John Kirby, a retired admiral is
thinking, but his performance makes you nostalgic for the old days of Jen Psaki
and Marie Harf—at least they were good looking.
Anyway, the Obama-Kerry-Kirby progress report touts the
administration’s victory in providing Iran with eventual legitimate access to
nuclear weapons and immediate access to over a hundred billion dollars. As it
happened, Iran did not even sign the deal and does not feel bound to respect it.
If that is your greatest achievement you are a failure and ought to bow your head in shame.
And the state department touts a climate change agreement in
which all of the world’s nations agreed on nothing. The agreement is
worth precisely nothing. It requires nothing of anyone and will never be
submitted to the Senate for approval. For the Obama administration the climate change agreement will
aid in the fight against Islamist terrorism.
But, these were not even the most egregious distortions. The
biggest lie concerns Syria. Something must be seriously wrong with officials
who imagine that anyone would accept this assessment as the truth. Sadly, the
administration knows very well that the lapdog media will happily look away
from reality and will offer up yet another paean on gun control.
Yet, this time, Slate has called the administration out.
The Obama/Kerry/Kirby version was entitled: "Bringing Peace
and Security to Syria.” Really, I could not have made this up:
The
United States and many members of the international community have stepped up
to aid the Syrian people during their time of need – the United States has led
the world in humanitarian aid contributions since the crisis began in 2011. Led
by Secretary Kerry, the United States also continues to push for a political
transition in Syria, and under his stewardship, in December, the UN Security
Council passed a U.S.-sponsored resolution that puts forward a roadmap that
will facilitate a transition within Syria to a credible, inclusive,
nonsectarian government that is responsive to the needs of the Syrian people.
Being a responsible journalistic organ, one that has just
seen its faith betrayed, Slate counterpoints the Obama/Kerry/Kirby version with
a description from Foreign Policy:
According
to the United Nations, as of October 2015 some 250,000
people have been killed in more than four years of civil war (casualty figures
for 2015 alone are not yet available). More than 11 million refugees
have left the region, many of whom swelled onto European shores in the fall of
2015; it’s not clear how many will ever get asylum in Europe, or elsewhere
around the world, including in the United States. A March 2015 UN report also noted that four in five Syrians are now
living in poverty.
Slate concludes by quoting the author of that piece:
“[I]n
the case of Syria, the five words State used to describe the past year seem at
the very least inappropriate and at the worst delusional,” Foreign Policy’s David Francis writes.
Delusional… the word refers to a belief that is so strong
that it is impervious to rational consideration or factual verification. A
schizophrenic who hears God will never believe that God is not speaking to him. A
paranoiac who believes in a vast conspiracy will never be persuaded that there
is no such thing.
Delusional beliefs do not need to be limited to psychotics.
There are people out there who believe that their left leg is longer than their
right leg and that the condition can only be cured by amputation. Since we can
measure legs in a way that we cannot measure God, we know that they are
deluded. Nevertheless, if you do not accept their belief you are a bigot.
And then there was the woman who came to believe that God
had make a mistake by giving her eyesight. She convinced a therapist to pour
drain cleaner in her eyes, thus blinding her. She says that she has never been
happier.
And, let’s not forget Caitlyn Jenner. In a world founded on delusional
lies, she-he-it is clearly the king/queen.
I await the comment that the report is 100% accurate and that SLATE is delusional,

You may have to click on the list to see all of it. I knew the list was long, but not that long. It is not that a president mistreated women it is that his wife did all she could to intimidate and destroy these women when she NOW states that women's allegations should be believed. "Bimbo patrol" anyone.
I have to admit I really enjoy Katherine Timpf. She is just odd enough to appeal to my sense of humor. Smart young woman if you pay attention to the underlying gist.

ReplyDeleteStuart: You recall that a dimwitted comedian made his way into the United States Senate by writing a book entitled: Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them.
ReplyDeleteHey! That dimwitted comedian is my State Senator Al Franken! He was elected with a 300 vote margin, with 41.99% of the vote in 2008, and reelected in 2014 with 53.15% of the vote. Even Stuart Smalley would be proud for such validation.
Are you trying to pick a fight with Minnesota?!
Well, at least in the olden days we could say "Our governor can beat up your governor!", although now with sicky Mark Dayton, I guess we have to settle for humiliation, and just be glad we're not Wisconsin!
p.s. Never mention "dimwitted politicians" in Wisconsin because people keep assuming you're talking about their governor and they start making random excuses before you tell them that's not who you were talking about.
And the screw doth slowly turn -

DeNihilist, a good find.
ReplyDeleteProbably she only became a Feminist to rebel against the Catholic church, but guilt finally won her over and now she's done rebelling, and she wants to be invited home again with her public repentence, and to make a little money with her new kiss-and-tell book "Bitch, No! Seven Times I Was Betrayed by Feminism."
"As LifeSiteNews notes, she has also expressed remorse for having offended Christians in January of 2014, when she engaged in a well publicized same-sex kiss with another seminude girl with a cross in the background, before the Church of Our Lady of Candelária in Rio de Janeiro. The photo of the two became iconic in Brazil of homosexual contempt for Christianity."
The cool thing about Catholic redemption is you can do whatever you like, and then repent and you're clean again, ready to say "Do as I say, not as I did." just like the best hypocrites.
Hopefully she can take all her new knowledge of human frailty and forgive the feminists after she's forgiven.
Go and sin no more, Jesus said so, but it can't hurt to make a little money on your past sinning, right?
