Nothing Seems to Startle Anyone Anymore

Nothing Seems to Startle Anyone Anymore 

A selection of non-startling events:

When the editorial page editor of the so-called “Paper of Record" freely admits “We have a high threshold for whether someone lied,” no one even blinks.

When a gang of blacks rape a 16-year-old white girl, beat her so badly that she bled from her ears and  videotape their unprovoked attack, few people are incensed.

When the nation’s most prolific abortion provider announces a plan to instruct teens and even pre-schoolers on how to have sex, no one seems to care.

When a noted law center which boasts that it fights hate, teaches tolerance, and seeks justice charges that the recent LAX shooter was inspired by “far-right homophobes,” not many object.

When a raunchy, homosexual is paid $24,000 for a speech at an American university, including how-to discussions with students on gay perversions, no public uproar ensues.

When a former black congressman and a highly-acclaimed, black conservative economist and social theorist, predict that our country is on the precipice of an all-out race war, who demands an investigation into that possibility? 

You would think the average American would sit up and take serious notice of what’s going on in our country today.  But, they’re not.

Brainwashed by President Barack Hussein Obama and his dedicated henchmen in the mainstream media into believing lying is fine when it comes to shielding the president, persuaded that white girls tend to lie after being raped, convinced that Planned Parenthood is committed to planning parenthood, certain that those who differ on same-sex marriage are murderous lunatics, encouraged to permit obscene Bible-mockers to speak to their children, and convinced that a potential race war in America is merely the product of a disturbed figment of twisted, conservative minds, most Americans today opt to ignore those ugly realities rather than confront them. . . .  (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=34013.)

Lies, Damned Lies, and Obama Lies

 

In Samuel Langhorne Clemens’/Mark Twain’s “Chapters from My Autobiography,” the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn quoted Benjamin Disraeli’s memorable observation that “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Were Mark Twain alive today, he might have appended, “and outrageous lies used to cover up previous outrageous lies.”
America’s well-established Liar-in-Chief, President Barack Hussein Obama, has now outdone his habit of deceitful prevarication with his baldfaced fabrication that he never, ever, ever, promised that, “If you like your health-care plan, you will be able to keep your health-care plan, period,” despite the fact he has been captured on video on at least 29 occasions telling Americans they could do just that and thereby avoid being assigned to an Obamacare-approved health plan and physician.
In a classic instance of cynically dishonest revisionism, delivered to what Rush Limbaugh describes as low-information voters on Monday at the St. Regis hotel in Washington, Obama tried to rectify that widespread, oft-videotaped misperception by announcing, “What we said was you could keep [your health plan] if it hasn’t changed since the law was passed.”
A less-dignified observer than I would characterize that sheer bullshit as sheer bullshit.
Our Liar-in-Chief explained the exception–his gross lie–to his enthusiastic supporters (and just coincidentally Obamacare beneficiaries) by declaring, “If we had allowed these old plans [to continue] . . . then we would have broken  an even more important promise–making sure that Americans gain access to  health care that doesn’t leave them one illness away from financial ruin.  So the bottom line is, is that we are making the insurance market better for  everybody.” 
“Better” may be a matter of interpretation but few people who are forced into a government-operated health plan, forced out of a medical plan they may have had and liked for years, and forced to hunt for a new, Obamacare-approved doctor when they had long trusted and relied on their former physician(s) will consider themselves anything but better off. . .
