God, Lies, and Obama

God, Lies, and Obama. The old song said “Been down so long seems like ‘up’ to me.” BO’s been lyin’ for so long…

  • The interwebz are a wonderful thing, from '08

    "Klein notes that 80-90% of Americans want healthcare reform, but the same number are happy with their coverage. His solution: Kick them off their plans and replace them with a government-run system they currently oppose."

    Another reason why the only Ezra I care for comes in a bottle.

    • Thx for the link. Cannot believe that the man some half way through the vid actually sanctioned the destruction of ten's of thousands of jobs and a whole industry for his ideology. But then Stalin killed millions for his version of communism so why be surprise?

  • I agree and I was going down that route before I actually read it. He may or may not be Muslim but he has Muslim sensibilities. He has NO PROBLEM lying to people he deems lesser than himself. He is all of that he is a Marxist and a Socialist and a Muslim sympathizer. He is all of those things... as well as a sociopath. He needs to get his way and nothing will get in his path. He is a danger to this country.

    • KQ, agreed. One does not spend one's formative years head banging 5x a day and learning the K by rote without having some, as you put it, "muslim sensibilities". He is the sum of his upbringing including his close association and mentoring of and with the radical left. As we can attest, hence his ability to promise the world and deliver SWFA. Let's take immigration reform: who suffers big time when 12 Million+ enter the lower paid work force? And then ask, who votes for this messianic idiot who never leaves the campaign trail because that is all he is equipped, mentally, to handle.

  • Most seem to be missing the point: from his perspective he is not lying, he is just protecting the "truth" as he perceives it to be. In short, one lying SOB, from a normal human beings perspective. And BTW, FY you stupid idiots that voted me in. Anyone run the numbers for Obamacare. For a family of three try $16K plus $12.5K. Run yr own numbers....

  • When has Obama told the truth in public?

    Name a time.

    I challenge anyone to name an instance when Obama has not lied.

    • Obama: My Plan Makes Electricity Rates Skyrocket

      One of his rare moments of truth. If it had been whispered by the MSM a few times during his reelection campaign he would not be President right now. Few believe campaign ads but the Romney campaign should have used it much more.

      • My question is, why the right wing in this country keeps trying to fight by the Marquess of Queensbury rules. The left does no such thing. I keep waiting for the Repubs to take the gloves off, and fight fire with fire. The voters have shown time and time again that they respect strength. At least, they do when they aren't being snowed under by the obvious lies of the dems. We actually saw a spark of this in Romney in the first debate, but then Romney gave up in the next two, and allowed himself to be shouted down by obama's moderator allies. It's upsetting.

        • This- particularly when the MSM, which should be serving more as a metaphorical referee is instead donning gloves of its own to take pot shots on behalf of the left.

          Romney's job was to not win the election- he almost slipped up and took it with some momentum from the first debate but he obediently dialed it back- permitting all manner of smear and deception... offering nothing in response to practically being accused of murder in the case of the GST plant closure resulting in a cancer patient losing insurance. he willingly permitted his character to be assassinated by the grotesque campaign of lies that was Obama's reelection effort.

      • If the MSM, Romney and RNC were doing their jobs Obama would not be president and he and his cronies would be incarcerated awaiting trial on violation of RICO corruption statutes, lying to congress (as well as everyone else), grand and generational theft, and other high crimes and misdemeanors. It would be by necessity larger than the Nuremberg trials after WWII.

        • With the emphasis on the MSM. The public depend on a watchdog media for the truth. The vast majority watch a little lapdog MSM. I hate to think where we would be without social media, radio, Fox News and last but not least, word of mouth.

          • If the MSM and RNC had been doing their job, Romney wouldn't have had to do anything at all. We would have had a decent candidate running against Obama.

          • If the MSM had been doing their job, Obama would have never been a candidate either. The MSM is the scourge of America.

  • From the article - I suspect that Obama’s core belief — his key religious value, if you will — is an American form of taqiyya — the Muslim dictate that it is permissible to lie to non-believers for the preservation of Islam. He believes in left-wing taqiyya. (Ironically, taqiyya is largely Shiite and Obama wishes to negotiate with Shiite Iran, masters of the lie.)

    “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels

    The truth is the mortal enemy of the lie. This is were our liberal media have let us down. A few are finally starting to whisper the truth but it may be too late, for the progressives will use all of their powers to repress dissent.
