A Nation of Liars
The attorney general of the United States lied recently to Congress. He said he knew of no citizen’s communications that his department had monitored. Lie!
In fact, Holder knew that his subordinates were targeting reporters. He also did not tell the truth about the New Black Panthers case. He had sworn that there was no political decision to drop the case. Not true; the decision came from the top. He again lied about the time frame in which he first learned of the Fast and Furious case.
The director of national intelligence also lied, likewise while under oath to Congress. At first James Clapper confessed that he had given the “least untruthful” account.
Nixon’s Washington used to call that sort of neat lie “a modified limited hangout.” Later, Clapper admitted that he had just flat-out lied to Congress. Was he disgraced? Fired? Further confirmation of his “largely secular” lie?
Nope. Nothing followed.

As such, are not subject to opinionated review by the media or the American people too ignorant to understand.
The Founding Fathers regarded moral character as paramount. They would see this present bunch of “politicians” as fertilizer for the tree of liberty.
Perhaps he doesn't consider reporters to be citizens. (There are a few people on the right who aren't sure, either.)
Well put.
Was he under oath? It isn’t a lie if you aren’t under oath. Holder is too smart to go under oath.
They are not lies. They are patchworks of mis-speak, meant to promote racial, social, and economic justice.
As such, are not subject to opinionated review by the media or the American people too ignorant to understand.
this is true, but more than racial justice, the main goal has been to remove the white Christian male from positions of influence so that he cannot inflict anymore atrocities on the human race again, for example the holocaust.
if look at anything at all in our society thru that light, it all fits as to the plan.
Stephen Covey had it right. Nobody has a “moral” switch that they can turn on when they walk in to the office. You can’t cheat on your spouse and then not cheat on your country.
“If you believe it while you’re saying it, it is NOT a lie”- George Constanza...(Seinfeld)
The majority of Americans are no longer capable of knowing the difference between a lie and the truth.
There is a relentless barrage of information and mis information that assaults people 24/7.
Most people who have graduated or 'left' public schools in the last 20 years or so, have had the ability and inclination to doubt this stuff bred out of them. They are conditioned to think, and vote Liberal.
The rest is ‘words’ that don't matter even IF they are lies.
And then there are those of us who don't consider reporters to be Vertebrates...
Perhaps members of some family of slime mold, or other slithery critters...
Ever since Clinton lied under oath it’s the natural thing to do.
Pretty sure he was under oath.
DOJ made an official response in writing to a House inquiry on Fast and Furious. When the document was shown to be inaccurate (a lie) they ‘withdrew’ their official response.
To my knowledge DOJ still refuses to comply with Congressional subpena on the matter.
The Democrats learned they could get away with lying during the Clinton Administration. They’ve kept it up since.
Why is Congress trying to negotiate with this serial perjurer? Impeach the treasonous swine and work hard to toss him in jail afterwards. A just fear of the rule of law is the only treatment that is going to work with the left.
I’d go farther and say that many people have lost the ability to know the difference between reality and fiction. Why else could a cartoon lizard be selling insurance?
In fact, if you look at what is called ‘entertainment’ in our society, it's telling you a great deal about the intellectual quotient of the audiences and also of the people who produce this drivel.
I see on a TV ad, some BS software which is a game for your computer. It is meant to sharpen your brain.
Really??
Why not just read a book. It would take no longer and when you are finished with the book, at least, you will have LEARNED something.... brain nice and SHARP!!
Young people really nauseate me.
