If Liberals Are The Good Guys, Why Do They Lie So Much?(Lying Comes Natural To Them)

Because they (think they) are both smarter than you or I and morally superior to you or I. They will be pleased to very briefly explain why they are superior, but do not try their patience too much, because they are very busy being smarter and more morally superior to you or I. They do not expect you to be able to understand why they are both more intelligent and morally superior, in fact, they are disdainful of our obviously low intelligence level. However, if there comes an opportunity to try to explain why they are smarter/superior, they will throw insults your way as they attempt to make those points.

Someone wrote a how-to book on changing the generally accepted meaning of words in order to change an argument, but I can’t remember the title. This is now going to drive me nuts all day.

[ThunderSleeps]

I've witnessed (first hand) libs justify lying by claiming they are smarter than others. So lying to those they perceive as less intelligent is "for their own good."

Not only is this morally wrong, it is factually incorrect too. The libs I've had more than just passing contact with... Well, sad to say but as a group the people I've met who hold with modern liberalism are not the brightest bulbs on the string. They tend to be naive, idealistic, and sadly, easily manipulated by their leaders.

I guarantee you there are lib lurkers out there that just read that and are thinking "Ha, sorry pal, that's you conservatives!" Ok lib lurkers that think that, ask yourself, as honestly as you are capable of, do you believe that because you were told it by someone, or because you have experienced it? When was the last time you won an argument with a conservative based on logic, facts, and reasoning? Name one issue/position you support that doesn't involve a double standard and/or wild hypocrisy. Hopefully, maybe, it will start to dawn on you that you've been lied to and manipulated all along. It's ok to admit it libs, we've known it all along.

It seems to me that liars kind of feel superior to other people? Its almost like they see themselves as beyond the truth?

[fr_freak]

Liberals don’t lie.
They simply alter the semantics of a word or phrase to fit their preconceived agenda of power-brokering.

Sure, they do this. But they lie also. Quite a lot.

No, its a new book, a guide for liberals to turn the meaning of terms inside out.

To answer the author's question let's open our bibles to John 8:44:

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Bump to show to my teenage daughter later. Many thanks!

Who said, "To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth."

[tanknetter]

Cool, will take a look at it. Thanks!

Is lying still recognized as a bad thing or is it situational in all cases due to moral relativism? If it is bad what is the basis to decide why it is bad? It seems most of us recognize lying, consider it bad and want liars to be held accountable. I don’t think the elitists have a basis to consider the issue. They may think it’s bad if it hurts them or things they support. They don’t have a world view the majority can even anticipate.

Elim Garak: Lying is a skill like any other, and if you want to maintain a level of excellence you have to practice constantly.

Worf: Practice on someone else.

Elim Garak: Mr. Worf, you’re no fun at all.

Worf: Good!

Lying comes natural to liberals. This goes back many decades. I remember when Goldwater was running for president. The Democrats tried to convince the country that Barry was chomping at the bit to start a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Even then Republicans were depicted as mean-spirited, racist, greedy bas....ds by the media.

Because so many liberal schemes have flopped, libs have to try i.e. lie harder to convince people about how good they are and how evil conservative Republicans are.

[right way right]

They belong to Satan, the father of all lies.
It really is true.

[MrB]

Yeah, the justification for deception comes pretty easy to their minds -

Their ideas are so superior that the common folk can’t understand them and would oppose them in their ignorance,

so, for their own good, they have to be deceived into supporting the agenda.

[MrB]

Ding ding ding!

And when you point out this arrogance to your average liberal,
they’ll deny it.

Because the Left truly believes they're fighting evil (i.e., the Right), they feel -- always it's "feel" -- they must do whatever is necessary to destroy that evil ... no matter the cost and no matter the outcome of their "good intentions". When they figure out the pain their actions are causing and are called to account, they lie and feel -- again, "feel" -- perfectly justified in doing so.

The Left/liberals/Democrat-Socialists truly believe this.
