simple.... the end always provides justification for the means
Complete and utter lack of ethics. They know they’re lying but don’t care because getting their way is the only thing that’s important to them.
Unruley children that need to be punished
To convince people to accept something that is not based on truth and reality requires propogandizing, which is inherently built upon lies.
Spot on Mr. Hawkins.
Liberalism is a font of ideas that simply do not work. Thats putting it mildly. If anything, liberal ideas make things worse. So how does one prop up ideas that are broken and do not work? Simple: they lie. One certainly cannot prop up broken ideas with the truth. So its, lie, lie, and lie some more. The communists did it that way. The nazis did it that way. And the liberals do it that way.
You only have to see how rabid in their lying they are over this IN law and the sad part is that there are millions who are too lazy to find out the truth.
Liberals don’t lie.
They simply alter the semantics of a word or phrase to fit their preconceived agenda of power-brokering.
Ref: Iosev Stalin
National Socialists aren’t the good guys. The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal, socialist, totalitarian scumbags and their propagandists. Their useful idiots parrot that lie. Witness history. Witness current events.
Anything to further the narrative. That includes lying, twisting and out-and-out making up of stories which fit the narrative.
Liberals are at war with reality.
There’s one Woody Allen movie in which his character says “It’s too bad I wasn’t present at the creation, because I could have given God some useful suggestions.” That’s a humorous way of summing up the liberal view of things.
Less intellectual liberals believe what the professor or other "intellectual" liberal says because he says it and for no other reason.
Reality is a mental construct. Liberals imagine a reality and therefore it is true. Their logic here is only partial, however, because the logical deduction would be that there is no need for politicking or strife because a liberal only has to imagine Utopia and it Is.
I had this discussion 20 years ago with a childhood friend who was by then a professor at UF and very intellectual about this. We never resolved that question why, if reality is a mental construct he could not just imagine Utopia and all would be unicorns and flowers. Why could he not just think me away or into his Utopia? He just concluded that I am weak of mind and unable to think logically. Before he went to college he understood economics and had even read Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. In college he began to understand this new reality that was necessary for his academic career. His intellectual Leftism grew to fit him into his milieu. I would not be so concerned were it merely cynical adoption of a mindset necessary to an academic career but he is a True Believer now.
Like I said they can’t help it. Lying comes natural to them
They work very well at transferring power to a small, pseudo-intellectual elite. That power is so delicious to hold and wield that those in line to get some will tell any lie they must to achieve that goal.
This is what criminals do. . .duh!
It comes from the outgrowth of Romanticism in the early 1800s, that, among other things, feelings are more important than facts: that facts are cold, but feelings lead to truth.
The bandied-about term today is "narrative": it's not what is that matters, it's what you say it is that matters. And that is especially true if "you" are from an oppressed group, and yearn for freedom--ostensibly freedom from oppression, but in practice it becomes a yearning for freedom from facts.
Liberals lie because they are the only ones who really understand, and the rest of us are like unruly children.
What parent hasn't told a little white lie in order for the children to accept what is really, after all, the best for them?
The children don't understand - they aren't equipped nor mature enough to make those kinds of decisions, so the Libs must lie in order to do what's best for everyone.
Jeeezz.. you're all so blind.
or “You’re all too stupid to appreciate how brilliant and wonderful we are, so we’re forced to lie to you for your own good.”
That, but there’s also very much an “ends justify the means” element to this.
Polls show majority support for same sex marriage. Those polls, however, also show majority support for respecting the rights of people to decline to provide services for same sex weddings based on religious belief.
The Indiana law IS different from the other state statutes in that it provides a legal avenue for business owners to claim religious beliefs as grounds for denying services in private-party lawsuits.
That explains a lot of the uproar over this law. Progressives don’t want business owners to be able to use a religious protection defense in private party lawsuits. They want business owners to be gagged, to be denied the ability to make their case in courts of law, because doing so would serve to highlight that there are people who object to participation in things like same sex weddings on religious grounds.
It’s really about shouting down, stiffling and suppressing dissent. Even the appearance of dissent. Because dissent, especially state-tolerated public legal dissent, poses a threat to the larger agenda.
