People of Deceit
Human Events ^ | 10/05/2007 | Michael Reagan

Nothing frightens those who peddle lies than the cold hard light of truth. They react to exposure of their deceits the way vampires react to a having a crucifix held up in front of them.

Ever since the birth of conservative talk radio and the Internet ended the liberals’ total monopoly over the news, the left has been simmering with impotence -- over the loss of their absolute control over what the Americans are allowed to see and hear, and their inability to do anything about it.

Time and again liberal attempts to sell the nation their shoddy goods have been frustrated when talk-radio hosts have taken to the airwaves and warned their millions of listeners that they were about to be taken to the cleaners.

It was not until the administration’s fatally flawed immigration reform bill that seemed destined for passage was derailed by army of angry voters recruited by talk radio hosts and conservative Internet Web sites that the left understood both the incredible power of the new media and their utter helplessness in the face of it.

Clearly something had do be done, they thought. So the left, led by the slimy Media Matters organization, began a counterattack using the liberals’ favorite weapon -- the lie.

An innocuous remark by Fox’s Bill O’Reilly praising a famous Harlem restaurant was taken out of context by the liberal mainstream media which tried to ignite a firestorm, but the public wasn’t buying.

When America wakes up to the fact that the media has lied about a number of events, and that history professors and scientists have been untruthful in their instruction preferring to indoctrinate, and that politicians have knowingly lied in attacks on the floor of Congress, you have to ask “when did they start lying and how can I ever trust anything they tell me?” again.

The curtain is coming unraveled. The old order is collapsing and their tactics of deceit aren’t working anymore. I can’t say “everything” you know is wrong but a lot of the conventional knowledge is false and was a deliberate misrepresentation.

You can be certain they’ll find a new target, and just as certain that they’ll keep pushing for a new “fairness doctrine” or some other way to silence the opposition. And you can be certain that whatever target they pick they’ll be lying through their teeth when they attack.

They can’t help themselves. The truth is not in them.

Bravo Michael! He is the only living "real" Reagan child.

While I agree most people would find the lies distasteful to say the least..I am not as optimistic about the American people finding out or caring ... the re-election of the bent one disillusioned me on the intelligence of the American Population

We are becoming painfully aware of this.
