My choice is the historical lie of the "McCarthy Era." It is largely a myth and what's more, McCarthy- though he himself was a buffon- his premise was correct- our government was indeed infested with Communists loyal to Stalin. Liberals talk as if McCarthy was the American equal of Stalin- a disgusting comparison and an immoral one. All the liberal "heroes" of that era have been exposed as spies- the Rosenburgs- guilty. Alger Hiss- guilty. IF STONE- most likely a spy who accepted money from the KGB. Oppenheimer- strong evidence of his guilt. MInd you- most of these cases were not even part of the the real "McCarthy era" but in the liberal myth all "Red baiting" is from McCarthy.
The effect of this myth is profound. Even today a communist is not called a communist in our press but a leftist (like Berenson in a Peruvian Jail where she belongs.) A Leftist is at best called a liberal or a "moderate" by our press. And the term liberal has been hijacked by people who are totally anti liberal leftists and communists. Pat Robertson is more of a liberal than Tom Daschle or Ted Kennedy in the true meaning of the word!

The liberal lie that drives me near unto violence is when someone claims that the interests of society outweigh the rights of an individual.

It's a toss-up between "Democrats are for the working man" and "If you don't believe in abortion, don't have one."

The lie that bothers me most is that "liberalism" (that is, socialism) is the intellectual position. Given the bloody history of the 20th century, the truth is that a socialist is probably more brain-dead than an astrology buff.

"I feel your pain"
Liberal 'compassion' is BS.

The second amendment is referring to the National Guard, not individuals right to keep and bear arms.
