Since the Bolsheviks inaugurated the first edition of their party newspaper Pravda (the Russian word for truth), the left has shaped truth to serve its goals. On an individual level, there are plenty of progressives who are honest and plenty of conservatives who aren't. But truth is just not a left-wing value -- feminism, environmentalism, material equality, and fighting racism, sexism, homophobia and Islamophobia are far more important.
The myriad falsehood-based hysterias unleashed by the left in our country -- the alleged heterosexual AIDS epidemic in America, the number of homeless people, the number of deaths from anorexia, the current charges of a "war on women" in our society and of a "culture of rape" on American college campuses, the immediate assertion that the killing of a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri was caused by racist police -- testify to the left's cavalier attitude toward truth.
The latest shaping of truth is almost funny because the left's claims are so transparently self-serving. Since last Tuesday's elections, commentator after commentator on the left has declared American politics "dysfunctional." When Democrats win by a landslide, the left regards the vote as testimony to the great message of the left and the good sense of the American people. Only when Republicans win by a landslide does the vote reflect dysfunction.

On an individual level, there are plenty of progressives who are honest and plenty of conservatives who aren’t …No, not on either an individual level or mass level. Being a progressive means to be a denier of truth by definition, and if a self-professed conservative is not honest, then that person is not a conservative.
He's telling the truth!
Yup- and if you remember when John Roberts sold out in favor of the obamacare individual mandate somehow he “saved the supreme court”. Effing hypocrites.

“Tim Storey, the bipartisan group’s election analyst, observed, “Democrats will control the lowest number of state legislatures since 1860.””
Do you think it’s fair to say “...the lowest number of state legislatures since 1860, when the Democrats were so recently repudiated by the Republicans (like Lincoln) for their fervent fight to continue slavery in the South.”
Or is that going to far?
They promised they were going to put me in movies ... LOL ... They lied but I’m the biggest fool that ever hit Free Republic! Yep, I acted naturally. I play the part so well.
Butterflies! Is that right?
