And that's no lie. It's the truth.

Too many people are gullible. They'll believe almost anything. Maybe that's another way of saying they are stupid. Politicians are aware that they can tell lies. All the time. And know that their gullible political bases will go along with these falsehoods. And the news media plays right into the hands of liars. Because the lies stir controversy. So the lies are reported. Perpetuated. Given some degree of validity. The media don't label lies as lies. Anyway, many cable channels are highly partisan. Far from objective. People tune in to 'em because they like to hear the lies. Over and over. Makes 'em feel good. Because they want to believe the lies. They really can't stand the truth. They'd rather be deceived. It happens all the time. In Nazi Germany, for instance. They listened to Hitler. And in America, so many of us listened to George Bush and his lies. He lied us into war. That's really the major cause of wars. Festering lies. Really, the whole foundation of America was built on deceptions. On lies. We were told from the beginning that all men are created equal. That was bullshit. The black man wasn't equal. Neither were women. Nowadays, we are told that the American health care system is the best in the world. More bullshit. We spend more than any other nation on health care. But we have 46 million Americans uninsured. And Americans rank 35th in longevity. Yes, if you want to live longer, it's best to not be an American. And that's no lie. It's the truth. --Jim Broede
