Who taught you to lie, call people names, and accuse people of racism?
American Thinker ^ | September 19, 2009 | Scott Strzelczyk

Where did the Democratic Congress, the Obama administration, and the main stream media learn to act so rudely, obnoxiously, and disingenuously; to call people names, treat others without any common courtesy or manners, and above all else to be deceptive and lie to citizens of the United States?

Politicians and main stream media types learned this behavior at some point in their lives. Did it start at home in early childhood? Did their mothers teach them to blame others for their mistakes, to call people names if they disagree with you, and to cover their backsides at all costs using any number of lies and false accusations? What explains a systemic failure of this magnitude in so many politicians and main stream media types? I presume they all were raised by mothers who taught them basic lessons in civility. Were they raised to act as they do today or did they choose this behavior?

I would not presume obam was raised by people who taught him this

Despite his rosy childhood fables to an entire captive audience of public school chidren, I do NOT believe Stanley Dunham Soetero was some selfless “Nancy Hanks” mom, waking him in Indonesia at 4AM to study the US Constitution and respect for America

In Obama's case, church.

If you donate to United Way you’re supporting ACORN and all the other organizations that teach people to lie, call people names etc...

Because cognitive dissonance is a bitch.

Nobody wants to admit that their entire value system is utter tosh so they lash out like 6 year olds.

Yes. It is daunting to start from scratch when your foundation was built on lies. It is so much easier to lash out and insist the opposition is wrong or racist.

I must admit the Democrats have found the golden bullet in the racism issue. Because Obama is a President of color it follows that dissent, disagreement or contrary opinion can be labeled racism. This effectively controls criticism and dissent, or at least that’s what the left thinks and the media,in it’s usual way, carries the torch. I for one don’t give a rats ass about the racist issue, I just plain don’t agree with a lot of the things Obama is doing. Hopefully the race card has been overplayed to the point of total marginalization. The boy (not racist, just a word) shouted
wolf once to often and the shouts were ignored. Eat your heart out Jimmy Carter.

When the facts and truth are on your side, tell the truth and support it with facts. When not, yell, “RACISM!”

This toxic “culture” has been around for a while, and has poisoned our civilization as a whole. It’s only getting noticed more now because it’s being played out at the highest levels now. It’s sort of like a cancer that has finally gone full-blown and be ignored anymore, but it did not appear overnight.

Of course, by that time it may be too late, and at the very least, drastic measures need to be taken to survive.

The basic problem with democrats and the evil things they do, is they are rotten at their core because they support legal killing of unborn Americans. That’s it. No lesser offense to mankind could possibly bother them in the least when they openly and proudly stand for abortion. These are the people we are up against. They have no mercy on helpless babies in the womb. Why would any lesser crime bother them? Everything is in their playbook. Everything.

I think the author of this article assumes too much. He is right about what traditional mothers tell their children, but is this what “liberated” mothers tell their children? Try this on for size:

1. Your’e lucky to be alive. I could have aborted you and maybe I should have.
2. Stop whining. It’s time for day care and we will spend some “quality” time together on Saturday.
3. That good-for-nothing (father/government) of yours hasn’t sent the damn check yet.
4. Just shut up and watch television, I’m busy right now.
5. Say hi to your new daddy. I know she’s a woman but you’ll get used to it.
6. Those lying, cheap, stingy, son of a bitch conservatives! I hate them!

etc. etc.
