I suppose, if you are going to lie, you might as well make it a big one and repeat it often. Most will believe it, just by the repitition. Goebblels? Stalin? Mao? Pol Pot?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
I know it is not really possible to just ignore all the pomp and glitz and media worship that seems to follow our Presidential candidates, but you really have to- in order to rationally evaluate who is saying what and what whatever is said has validity.
Barry O’bama (the Irish candidate) is now giving a radio commercial here in Florida. Barry is almost comical in his adherence to strict, ultra-left theories.
He fully swallows whole the leftist’s theory on global warming. He buys entirely the notion that there can be no good done anywhere without government being responsible for it. He preaches income re-distribution as a matter of obvious fairness and inevitable fact. He demands we pacify ourselves first (I guess as an example to the world) in order to achieve world peace.
He claims the government can provide jobs. He says the government can force equality on an unequal world. And he foolishly believes that he can be the architect of this nirvana. His hubris is astounding.
But what Barry is preaching today on the radio is the theory that women earn 77% of what men make because they are discriminated against…”like my grandmother” was.
Message: Republicans are misogynists. They want to keep women in their “place.”
He is also claiming that McCain opposes stem cell research with a heart wrenching mother of a daughter who is a brittle diabetic.
Message: Republicans are anti-science Bible thumpers who believe in Creationism and are against research.
Let’s unpack the first lie.
Women may indeed make only 77% of what men make, but more women choose lower paying social service type jobs. More women work part time-because of a desire to raise their children. More men do more dangerous jobs that naturally pay more.
Let’s see how many women would apply for a job that entails being airlifted on top of a high tension line to effect repairs on a million volt generator.
Oh, I forgot. Hillary applied for just such work when she was fresh out of Wellesley, but was turned down by male chauvinist pigs!
The second big lie regurgitates the last big lie from the previous election cycle. Republicans (actually conservatives-not necessarily the same thing) are NOT against stem cell research. We are against cloning human embryos. We are against unrestricted abortion. And we kind of frown on the idea of creating a life, and then destroy it, in order to save another life. That choice (as Barry might say, “Is above my pay grade.”
It never was fair to say that we were against stem cell research. It is fair to say that we are against “embryonic-stem cell” research.
It is a fact that embryonic stem cells never have been effective in research.
It is a fact that many advances have happened with “cord blood” and adult stem cells.
So why the insistence by the left on using embryo’s for research? One word and one word only. Abortion. That one word is the most holy of sacraments to liberals. That small life can never be thought of as human. Their entire philosophy revolves around that premise.
When a philosophy bases its entire being on two very flawed premises; then what does that tell us about that philosophy and its adherents?
I can only come up with one word to describe it: mindless.
