Why does this guy lie so much?

Rush has explained this numerous times. Democrats cannot tell the truth about their agenda to turn America into a Euro-style socialist welfare state because (most) Americans understand that that agenda leads to the same kind of misery and mediocrity and economic calamity we see all across old Europe.

The Democrats HAVE TO lie.
It truly is that simple.

Anyone seen Kinsley of late? I haven’t. He’s obviously yesterday’s liberal pundit and no one in the media cares about him anymore. Good.

Because he’s a god unto himself. These people are a cult, they believe in a catechism that is inviolate and not to be questioned. Anyone who believes in it is automatically superior and not subject to scrutiny in their circular and hermetically sealed logic. They can lie to us with impunity because we are insects to them.

Why do you think they hate religion so much? Because it’s too much competition.

He’s a pathological narcissist. His lying is a habitual pattern.

People who don’t know what they’re doing can be divided into two camps: those who know they’re ignorant, admit it and ask for help...and those who know they’re ignorant, lie and become defensive and derisive when confronted.

You don’t have to guess to know which camp this asshat is in.

Islam teaches that it is acceptable and expected to lie to and deceive one’s enemies. ‘Taqqia’, I think is one term.

Why does Obama lie so much?

Why does any politician lie so much?

Because it wins elections.

One of the highly developed talents of President Barack Obama is the ability to say things that are demonstrably false, and make them sound not only plausible but inspiring.

It’s a lot like René Descartes when he said, “I think, therefore I am.” Obama’s version would be. “I’m a liberal, therefore I lie.”

And Obama is just like Biden; too stupid to remember the truth, too arrogant to care.

A parable: Why the scorpion stings -

The river was wide and swift, and the scorpion stopped to reconsider the situation. He couldn’t see any way across. So he ran upriver and then checked downriver, all the while thinking that he might have to turn back.

Suddenly, he saw a frog sitting in the rushes by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. He decided to ask the frog for help getting across the stream.

“Hellooo Mr. Frog!” called the scorpion across the water, “Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?”

“Well now, Mr. Scorpion! How do I know that if I try to help you, you wont try to kill me?” asked the frog hesitantly.

“Because,” the scorpion replied, “If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim!”

Now this seemed to make sense to the frog. But he asked. “What about when I get close to the bank? You could still try to kill me and get back to the shore!”

“This is true,” agreed the scorpion, “But then I wouldn’t be able to get to the other side of the river!”

“Alright then...how do I know you wont just wait till we get to the other side and THEN kill me?” said the frog.

“Ahh...,” crooned the scorpion, “Because you see, once you’ve taken me to the other side of this river, I will be so grateful for your help, that it would hardly be fair to reward you with death, now would it?!”

So the frog agreed to take the scorpion across the river. He swam over to the bank and settled himself near the mud to pick up his passenger. The scorpion crawled onto the frog’s back, his sharp claws prickling into the frog’s soft hide, and the frog slid into the river. The muddy water swirled around them, but the frog stayed near the surface so the scorpion would not drown. He kicked strongly through the first half of the stream, his flippers paddling wildly against the current.

Halfway across the river, the frog suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog’s back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.

“You fool!” croaked the frog, “Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?”

The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog’s back.

“I could not help myself. It is my nature.”

Then they both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river.

...

I imagine Obama does a little dance every time he lies. It is his nature.

A Cook County politician to the core, he plays hardball as much as he plays basketball. He revealed his modus operandi back in 2008: he brings a gun to a knife fight. Lying is just the way he plays the game. Winning is not only the most important thing -- it is the only thing that matters. He has repeatedly shown his willingness to embrace ruthlessness when it comes to his career (this New York Times article provides insight to the methods and means he has used to defeat opponents; behind the big grin must be some very sharp incisors).

Obama would find that very flattering. He'd like to think of himself as a tough-as-nails, take-no-prisoners Chicago pol.

Actually, he's more like the teacher who finds himself up in front of a class when he really doesn't know the material he's supposed to teach.

He has a little information and a lot of fashionable attitudes, so he makes do with those attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions and relies more on the politically correct opinions and judgments he has than on the facts he doesn't have.

And like that teacher who doesn't know what he's doing, Obama affects bluster and bravado in order not to reveal just how little he knows and how deep he is in over his head.

Why Obama Lies

Simple: he speaks his father's native tongue. Obama is the natural son of the father of lies.

Obama's natural habitat is the pitch blackness of the abyss, where an eviseral hatred of Truth is as normal as mom, baseball, and apple pie is to us. It's the place where sunshine must never enter, lest the light expose the wretched nature of the inhabitants' souls (not to mention the ecosystem of slime, mildew, and filth).

This "POTUS" belongs in our beloved White House as much as fish are at home in a tumbleweed.

I guess politicians lie because they have lost (maybe never HAD) the idea that there’s a distinction between the truth and absolutely everything else on earth!

After a couple of unforgettably humiliating and physically painful lessons, my mother and father demonstrated to me that the truth is absolute and incontrovertible. It is NOT conditional; it may not be altered, substituted by anything else, ignored or outdated, etc. I got my ticket punched (so to speak) and advanced into maturity with this basic grounding and without which all other lessons would be worthless.

I don’t know how any one calling himself a mature adult, worthy of trust and honor, can get through life if he never had this very basic and indispensible lesson. However, we have just these kinds of people in politics and even in the WH.
