If Liberals Are The Good Guys, Why Do They Lie So Much?(Lying Comes Natural To Them)
Townhall.com ^ | March, 31, 2015 | John Hawkins

Liberals never argue with one another over substance; their only dispute is how to prevent the public from figuring out what they really believe. Meanwhile, it is a source of constant alarm to conservatives that the public will not understand what they really believe. – Ann Coulter

If you listen to liberals, you’d believe that conservatives are hateful, racist, cruel, selfish dishonest, mean-spirited Fascists while liberals are compassionate, caring, open minded, honest, giving saints who want the best for everyone.

If that’s true, then why is it that liberals have to incessantly lie about what they’re doing, what’s happening in the world and about conservatives?

For example, take this latest flap about Indiana passing a religious freedom law that prevents Christians from getting run out of business if they refuse to participate in gay weddings. The law should be unnecessary given that the First Amendment already, “prohibits the making of any law…impeding the free exercise of religion,” but getting beyond that, there are similar laws in 20 states. Even Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have signed onto similar laws. Yet, you have liberals claiming that discrimination against gays will be rampant & even that black Americans will be turned away from stores for religious reasons because the law. Of course, that’s not happening in any of the states with similar laws and it won’t happen in Indiana either.

If liberals are the good guys, then why do they have to lie about what the law does?

Remember when the Trayvon Martin shooting hit the news? Most people thought a 12 year old kid was attacked by adult who had uttered racial slurs about him and then shot him to death for no good reason. Whatever you may think of the case, there was a court case and we found out that wasn’t what happened. Trayvon Martin was a 17 year old football player, Zimmerman didn’t make any racist reference to him, Martin attacked Zimmerman and was physically beating him when he was shot.

If liberals are the good guys, why do they lie about cases like this one?

You could ask the same question about the Mike Brown shooting. At first we heard that Mike Brown was just an innocent kid who was attacked by officer and then shot to death while he had his hands up and was pleading with the officer not to shoot. Conservatives would have wanted the officer to go to jail if that had been true. We said as much on the Right Wing News Facebook page.

Yet, what did we find out? Mike Brown had just robbed a convenience store, the officer thought he was a suspect, Brown attacked the officer and tried to take his weapon, then was shot running at the cop while ignoring his orders to stop

If liberals are the good guys, why did they lie about this case? There were businesses burned to the ground, the town of Ferguson, Missouri has been economically decimated and police officers have been KILLED because the tensions created by this case. If liberals are the good guys, why haven’t they apologized for the lies that were told? Why haven’t they taken any responsibility for the lives they destroyed?

How about “rape culture?” We hear about that incessantly and the statistic that’s quoted over and over and over again is 1 in 5 college women are sexually assaulted. Even Barack Obama & Joe Biden have used this statistic. There’s one problem: That statistic comes from a Campus Sexual Assault Study that has been proven wrong. Although there is a hot debate about what the real numbers are, most people agree they’re probably much closer to a still too high 1-in-50.

If liberals are the good guys, why do they have to lie about this? Rape is as universally condemned as anything can be in the United States, so why not work with everyone else to fight it instead of lying about it?

Then there’s Obamacare.

No piece of legislation in modern history has been sold with so many willful lies about what it would do. Obama told people they could keep their doctors, keep their health care plans and that Obamacare would save the average family $2500 a year.

None of that turned out to be true.

If liberals are the good guys, why did they have to lie to the American people about Obamacare? If liberals are good people, why aren’t they apologizing for the lies they told?

Of course, we could go on and on with these examples because this has become the standard modus operandi of liberalism.

1) Lie about your opponents. Lie about what happened. Lie about what you want to do.

2) Deny that you lied. Smear your enemies for accusing you of lying. Count on your fellow liberals to the mainstream media to turn a blind eye.

3) When you get caught lying, shrug your shoulders and say, “So what?”

If you’re a liar, maybe you’re actually not such a great person. If you feel like you need to lie in order to get people to adopt your ideas, maybe they’re not such great ideas. If you have to lie about your “evil” enemies to get people to dislike them, then maybe YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S THE BAD GUY.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
