Now the laws are just “norms” or “protocols”. Such bull crap.

So far, political myth making has become confined to popular culture and politics, and has not affected the ironclad facts and non-negotiable rules of jetliner maintenance, heart surgery or nuclear plant operation.

The EPA is working on that with the manmade climate change myth.

A society can stretch itself into a fantasy-land for only so long.
Eventually, reality and natural law will be reasserted with a vengeance.
For example: The Chinese military will not use affirmative action to include 120# girls, open homosexuals and “transsexuals” in their combat ranks, just to make a war with the USA “fair” to both sides.

And this seems an opportune time to again remind FReepers of H.G. Frankfurt's charming little philosophical treatise On Bullsh*t. (A Google search for Frankfurt and the unexpurgated title turns up a free pdf of the text.)

Accusing Obama administration officials of lying is too charitable -- it presumes they know the truth and are saying the opposite to deceive us. They neither know the truth nor care about it, they say whatever seems expedient, without any regard to its relationship to fact. They are that greater enemy of truth than liars, they are bullsh*tters.

“This is an age when Americans were assured that the Affordable Care Act lowered our premiums. It cut deductibles. Obamacare allowed us to keep our doctors and health plans, and lowered the deficit.”

It’s a good thing for me that those claims are mostly made on TV and chat rooms. Having personally experienced just how much crap they are, I don’t think I’d be able to control my anger if someone said it to my face.

No, facts don’t matter to liberals. To them the end (a totalitarian socialist state) justify the means.
