The left lies because there’s a bunch of low-information voters who believe those lies.

I must weigh my compassion

The self-regard of these prigs knows no bounds. One wonders how many mirrors hang in their houses.

Stalinists lie. ALWAYS

Took Orwell awhile to wake up to this reality but then he made it a mission to tell the world.

The left has to lie, because everything they stand for, or believe in is false.

Why the Left lies...

Because they can? Most are atheists and when you do not have a God to answer to, ANYTHING that supports your belief and does not harm you, is valid to do.

Leftism is a font of ideas that simply do not work. Thats putting it mildly. If anything, leftist 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 modern day leftists do it that way.

1) Because they have to. People wouldn’t give them ANY power if they knew what the left was about.
2) Because they feel morally justified in doing so. They believe their cause is far too good to be impeded by rules expected of everyone else.
3) Because they can. The news media are supposed to be seekers of truth and maintain that mythical mantel even after they have become blatant leftist activists.

No, not because they can. They lie because they can’t help it. It comes natural to them

Great article !!!

So the left specifically chooses to feature situations in which facts are under dispute. Then leftists claim that no one could reasonably dispute the facts; the only people who would dispute facts about the occurrence of an evil are those who sympathize with the evil. Leftists craft Americans who require evidence into victimizers, simply so they can portray themselves as heroes.

1. Global Warming = Facts in dispute

2. Equal pay for Women = Facts in dispute

Those are just two off the top of my head but I'm sure there are many more.

Learning to be a lawyer teaches you to lie.. and once you lie well..
they teach you to tell the truth.. in a dishonest way..

AND to not care whether it’s the truth -OR- a lie..
Thats WHY?.... most lawyers are leftists.. and/or politicians..

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ---C.S. Lewis
