— Ace During Monica-Gate, the press suddenly took a very keen interest in the proposition that Everyone Lies About Sex, and ran quite a few articles advancing this proposition.
You can't teach an old leftist new tricks, but they can adapt old tricks to cover new situations.
Old and Busted: Everyone lies about sex
New Hotness: Everyone lies about the most consequential legislation in a decade
At CNN -- supposedly a neutral news reporting organization -- an article now declares Of Course Presidents Lie, and adds this:
You might say lying is the verbal lubricant that keeps the Oval Office engine running.
This idiot divides lies into two categories, forgivable and unforgivable. The former are lies intended to "help people," and the latter are lies intended to protect and extend political power.
Guess which category he claims Obama's huge lies fall into? He doesn't even consider the possibility that Obama may have lied to protect his political power.
And because Obama's been telling a lot of lies, he goes further: Hey, the lies about what the NSA does are also in the category of "helping people," because, you know, he's so keen on anti-terrorism.
But he's not done yet-- because he's determined to excuse Clinton's lies, too, by his forgivable/unforgivable test. Amazing:
The ultimate test of whether the American public will accept a lie from a president is if the nation determines that the lie serves the national interests.
That distinction is why Bill Clinton remains popular, and George W. Bush remains reviled for his "lie," says Allan Cooper, a political scientist and historian at Otterbein University in Ohio.In a nationally televised address in 2003, Bush said that invading Iraq was necessary "to eliminate weapons of mass destruction."
"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised," Bush said.
Clinton told the nation that he did "not have sexual relations with that woman."
I did not have sexual relations with that woman."Clinton's lies about a sexual affair were understandable given his interest to protect his marriage and to shield the nation's children from having to ask their parents to explain the phenomenon of oral sex," Cooper says.
Uh-huh.
So just to recap, of the recent presidents whose legacies are still political hot topics and influence the results in current elections, the objective news organization finds the following division between forgivable and unforgivable lies:
Clinton: Forgivable. He wanted to spare his wife pain, and is such a Boy Scout that he sought to keep the topic of oral sex from the children. Unlike Republicans, who wanted to talk to kids about blowjobs.
Bush: Unforgivable. He lied just to lie because that's what liars do when they lie which is always.
Obama: Forgivable. He just wanted to "help people" and "protect Americans" and stuff. Did you see Batman: The Dark Knight? Well Obama isn't the hero America deserves, but he's the hero America needs.
Not a great joke. But they parody themselves. What is left for a wise-ass?
From James Taranto, who scrutinizes this claim that Obama's lie was offered for the benefit of And the Middle Class, and finds the record does not support that. Throughout the Administration's roll-out, they sought to dishonestly spin and throw blame to others... which I'm pretty sure would be lies to protect political power, and, hence, unforgivable.

The next time a Republican president camouflages an anti-abortion bill as one designed to save the baby seals because he intends that bill to, you know, HELP PEOPLE, we won't hear an uproar from the Left?

"Justice Department guidelines, set forth in the U.S. Attorneys Manual, recommend prosecution for fraud in situations involving “any scheme which in its nature is directed to defrauding a class of persons, or the general public, with a substantial pattern of conduct.” So, for example, if a schemer were intentionally to deceive all Americans, or a class of Americans (e.g., people who had health insurance purchased on the individual market), by repeating numerous times — over the airwaves, in mailings, and in electronic announcements — an assertion the schemer knew to be false and misleading, that would constitute an actionable fraud — particularly if the statements induced the victims to take action to their detriment, or lulled the victims into a false sense of security." - Andrew McCarthy

""My lord?" said Brutha.
"Yes, Brutha?"
"I would like to ask you a question."
"Do so."
"What happened to Brother Murduck?"
There was the merest suggestion of hesitation in the rhythm of Vorbis's stick on the cobbles. Then the exquisitor said, "Truth, good Brutha, is like the light. Do you know about light?"
"It . . . comes from the sun. And the moon and stars. And candles. And lamps."
"And so on," said Vorbis, nodding. "Of course. But there is another kind of light. A light that fills even the darkest of places. This has to be. For if this metalight did not exist, how could darkness be seen?"
Brutha said nothing. This sounded too much like philosophy.
"And so it is with truth," said Vorbis. "There are some things which appear to be the truth, which have all the hallmarks of truth, but which are not the real truth. The real truth must sometimes be protected by a labyrinth of lies." He turned to Brutha. "Do you understand me?"
"No, Lord Vorbis."
"I mean, that which appears to our senses is not the fundamental truth. Things that are seen and heard and done by the flesh are mere shadows of a deeper reality. This is what you must understand as you progress in the Church."
"But at the moment, lord, I know only the trivial truth, the truth available on the outside," said Brutha. He felt as though he was at the edge of a pit.
"That is how we all begin," said Vorbis kindly.
"So did the Ephebians kill Brother Murduck?" Brutha persisted. Now he was inching out over the darkness.
"I am telling you that in the deepest sense of the truth they did. By their failure to embrace his words, by their intransigence, they surely killed him."
"But in the trivial sense of the truth," said Brutha, picking every word with the care an inquisitor might give to his patient in the depths of the Citadel, "in the trivial sense, Brother Murduck died, did he not, in Omnia, because he had not died in Ephebe, had been merely mocked, but it was feared that others in the Church might not understand the, the deeper truth, and thus it was put about that the Ephebians had killed him in, in the trivial sense, thus giving you, and those who saw the truth of the evil of Ephebe, due cause to launch a-a just retaliation." They walked past a fountain. The deacon's steelshod staff clicked in the night.
"I see a great future for you in the Church," said Vorbis, eventually. "The time of the eighth Prophet is coming...""

But it's just a variation of the Left's Bullshit Template Of Scandal Reaction:
1. It never happened/He didn't do it.
2. Even if it did happen, it's no big deal.
3. Republicans do it, too.

Remember the Huge deal surrounding Stem Cell Research? It got so 'totes u guys serious' that it became a third-rail issue for the GOP.
Stem Cells was gonna save lives, totes!! But then...it went away. It'll come back, though because it's still part of Political Bullshit Theater's repertoire.
And some of you ninnies probably still get nervous and wet your pants over it...like you do with abortion and men having "husbands."

It is really depressing to read the trip that this PolySci professors spew and they have young minds listening to this crap.

Simple answer: because they can. They get no complaints for their core constituency, which is made up of self-desscribed "idealists" who would do anything if only their efforts lead to a Better World Where All Are Free, Equal and Well-Fed. A little shading of the truth in the name of Justice and World Peace bothers them not at all.
What's more, President Historic First© and his toe-sucking followers can get away with it because there is no punishment. None. Never.
Oh, Ace blogs about it in fairly direct fashion, Poppin' Fresh titters and giggles about it -- and sometimes reminds us that Rick Santorum wouldn't lie to us -- but that is the most condign punishment the serial, constant liars can expect.
In a sense, we, who are lied to, are as responsible as the Mocha Messiah for his lies. We know they are lies, and do nothing.

This is totes like that scene in Debbie Does Dallas with Mr and Mrs Hardwick at the candle shop.
Cheerleader Roberta was very confused as to why her boss Mr Hardwick was undressing and exposing his wang. And Mrs Hardwick reassured the young cheerlaeder, "It's okay, you'll understand. You'll understand."
And then Roberta got it. And got it good.

My post from the previous thread:
#404Care is doing exactly what it was designed to do: disenfranchise the
Middle Class. For decades people have rocked along with an untaxed
benefit from their employers that helped insure their health and well
being. For Marxists, that was anathema, because the control of the
resource--health care was not in the hands of where it belongs, no, it
was a private arrangement between employers and employees.
Next
up in the batter's box, 401(k)s and IRAs, which have allowed those
dirty, rotten, selfish Middle Class folks to accumulate wealth for
themselves and their heirs--once again cutting out the faceless
bureaucrats and apparatchiks. Doubt me? Clinton had a plan to seize that
money and pay everyone an annuity, a very low yield annuity to be
sure--along the lines of we will seize your $500,000 and pay you
$600-800 a month.

Think more and bigger. You're right, of course, but this law goes beyond that. The law makes the healthcare/medical providers the evil minions demanding money from these poor poor people. Thus, disenfranchising the patient from the medical provider.
It's an evil law designed to divide everyone.
There's a good article over on American Thinker talking about this.

That distinction is why Bill Clinton remains popular, and George W. Bush remains reviled for his "lie," says Allan Cooper, a political scientist and historian at Otterbein University in Ohio.
Except professor, Bill Clinton and other Democrats told that Bush 'lie' years before Bush was President. So Bill Clinton should be both adored and reviled right?

I can tell you that if it is, it shouldn't be. Somewhat hard (heh) to maintain concentration on traffic.

It pains me (well, a little, not many receptors still functioning) to see Ace repeat that idiocy of that moronic "professor" without addressing the obvious substance.
Intelligence estimates are called ...... uh, "estimates". They are subject to error. In fact, against closed societies and regarding vital security matters, they are very prone to inaccuracy. Nature of reality.
Bush didn't lie in any sense of the word. Neither did the intel services of the UK, France, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Israel, or the US. They got some things wrong. Partly because of an active deception campaign by the target regime aimed directly at those services. A campaign so effective that the target regime's highest military commanders (Rep. Guard divisions assigned to the Baghdad area) themselves believed there was CW artillery ordnance available to them when we actually invaded.
It's not a small point. It's almost become the entire point. This idiotic, hallucinogenic mythological database of non-facts that serves as the basis for "thinking" by the cretins now dominating our world cannot be stipulated, in any degree. There was no "Katrina moment" for Bush, there was no "mission accomplished" moment for Bush, Abu Ghraib was not a "scandal" and certainly not a scandal for Bush, the economy was not miserable under Bush, Bush policies did not create or exacerbate the government-centered and created financial bubble in real estate derivatives - and on, and on, and on.
Stipulate that the Jews stabbed Germany in the back in WWI, that the kulaks and wreckers doomed the NEP and the success of the early Soviet economy, that Israel poisons Palestinian infants with magic means - that's about where most people are in this sad degraded country when it comes to knowing the most basic facts about their world.
False factual and analytical frameworks prevent intelligent discussion. Thus, we see very little intelligent discussion.

They can't help themselves. This morning I responded to a post by a liberal claiming it took 400 years for the Catholic Church to apologize for how they treated Galileo.
That would put the apology in the year 2032.
I asked the poster if I could borrow his time machine.
Everything from the left are lies, memes and talking points. I'm so tired of this crap I rarely even argue anymore.
The only solace I get anymore is from watching Obamacare fail in some new way every day. My life sucks.

Of course they don't. When your "leader" in Congress is a drunk fuckface like Johnny Boehner, what's to stop any of the donks from dickslapping us?

Getting a blow job while driving still legal?
Only if you nut while hitting a speed bump at 10+ mph.

I checked my email and have received a form letter from Juan McLame asking for donotions for the GOP. He says that we must fight the liberals and need money to do so!!! hahahahahahahahaha
Hey Juan, you and your ilk stabbed us in the back one to many times. I will pick who I donate to very carefully - as in individual candidates.

Talk in everlasting words, and dedicate them all to me.
And I will give you all my lies, I'm here if you should call to me.
You think that I don't even mean a single word I say.
It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your rights away.

I'll try this again.
Well put. It's why I don't have any more face to face political discussions with people under the age of 50. Even then I run into an old hippie dippie douchebag who's bought into all the lies, and then refuses aquiesce even when presented with well-proven facts.

With every passing day, I'm getting closer to going with "POOR IMPULSE CONTROL." I mean, why not?

My LE friend in OR related a nice wild west story from last week. Bad Guy Forehead meets .45 at point blank. Call EMS, tell them to take their time.
