The Biggest Lie ever uttered by a U.S. President

The Big Lie. Perhaps the biggest lie ever uttered by a U.S. President:

 "If you like your present healthcare policy, you can keep it, period. No one will take it away from you. No matter what. You will be able to keep your doctor, period." 

That was a LIE and we heard it so many times from the Obama's lips. Why did he lie? Because if he had told the truth, he and the Democrats wouldn't have been able to sell Obamacare. But then that's the standard M.O. for liberals and progressives. They can ONLY get elected by lying. They never tell the truth. 

If they ever told the truth about their true intentions, very few Americans would ever vote for them. If Obama had actually told voters that he wanted to see an increasing number of Americans out of work and on food stamps, who would've voted for him? If he had told voters that he wanted to "cut America down to size" and reduce our standing in the eyes of the world, who would've voted for him? If he had told Americans that he wanted to redistribute the wealth of the producers and give it to the "takers"--who would've voted for him. He had to LIE to get elected.

Now at least 15 million Americans have had their healthcare coverage cancelled and there will be millions more to follow. Another BIG LIE, because these policies were regulated and most of the policy holders were HAPPY with their coverage. (Read the story of a woman with stage 4 cancer who has had her coverage cancelled and will probably die because of Obamacare. "You Can't Keep Your Doctor." )



 But the President and his Democrat allies are rationalizing that these policies were "sub-standard", "lousy" or "skeletal plans." And the President's spokesman, Jay Carney, is likening the Health Insurers to the Wild West where anything goes and unregulated crummy policies were sold to unsuspecting consumers. All of  which is another big LIE and attempt to justify the reason why millions are being kicked off their present healthcare coverage.

Another BIG LIE: The President said that the average family would save around $2400 a month in premiums. WRONG. Most families and individuals are seeing their healthcare premiums skyrocket by hundreds of dollars and their deductible amount is now double, triple or quadruple in cost!

What we have is a President who is a Dictator. He dictates to you and me what kind of coverage we can have and how much we have to pay for it. He determines what is "good" coverage. He determines what is "adequate coverage." He is the Dictator who knows what is good for you because you are too stupid to buy the right coverage for yourself. You're too dumb to know what's best for your family. That's why you have the President and his Democrat allies--they're the smartest and brightest. They will lead you and me out out of the darkness. They will light the way to affordable health care. They care about you--way more than those evil Republicans who want to starve the elderly and babies, and wanted to leave you to rot with your lousy sub-standard, skeletal, crummy health plan as well as your choice of your own stupid doctor, and your affordable monthly premium. How awful is that?!!

We've all been lied to.

The other day, I'm listening to some guy on the radio who all of a sudden proclaims: "We've all been lied to. Every single one of us has been lied to."

That got me to thinking about all the various ways we've been lied to.

This is a non-partisan rant because we've ALL (you and me) been lied to by:

• Republicans
• Democrats
• Independents
• We've been lied to by Obama and Geo.W. Bush. We were lied to about the Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq wars. When some soldiers like Pat Tilman were killed by friendly fire, our government tried to cover it up and lied to us and the families.
• We've been lied to by the media who refuse to report all the facts, and conveniently edit the facts to support their leftist agenda.
• We were lied to about Fast and Furious as well as the IRS targeting conservative groups, and of course, Benghazi, where the President and State Dept. wanted us to believe that this tragedy erupted
  
  because of a YouTube video.
• We've been lied to by those who tell us there is a political solution to the mess we're in as a nation.
• We've been lied to by those who would have us believe that the next election will turn everything around for our nation.
• We've been lied to by our teachers and professors who tried to brainwash us with information that wasn't really true, accurate or necessary. They tried to build up our self-esteem at the expense of being tough on us and giving us a solid education that could have included critical thinking and hurt feelings because we didn't study enough and weren't prepared.  

• They lied to us about the environment, about the dolphins, about global warming, and of course, about Obamacare.
• We were lied to about the measure of success. Making a million dollars or more didn't make us feel any better or give us any more purpose in life. Having a BMW and a new Lexus didn't help us sleep any better at night.
• We were lied to when they told us that religion is a private thing--just keep it to yourself. 
• We were lied to when we thought we could have it all, forsaking nothing.
• We were lied to when we thought that being a good, moral person is good enough to get us into heaven.
• We were lied to when we were told that "all roads lead to heaven."
• We were lied to when we were told that Jesus was a great man, a great teacher, a great leader, but he certainly wasn't God.
• We have been lied to on a daily basis when we think that "sin" is an outdated, old-fashioned concept and that we are basically good people, with good intentions.
• We have been lied to when we thought that we could ignore the spiritual vacuum deep inside our soul by just keeping busy, by constantly being entertained, and seeking new "highs" and "thrills."
• We were lied to when they told us that it was "ok" to be a Christian, just don't go overboard with it. Don't become one of those religious, right-wing "nut jobs" who think Jesus is concerned about every aspect of their lives, and actually hears and answers their prayers.
• We've been lied to by those who tell us that the mess we're in as a nation is a call to action rather than a call to get on our knees and pray.

Where does all this lying come from? What is the origin of all the LIES?

Jesus said to the Pharisses  (John 8:44), "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

All lies originate with Satan (the Devil) who was there in the garden lying to Eve when he told her that if she ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that she would be like God. And, he's been lying to us ever since.

There is a Truth that will set you free...

If you are seeking the truth, seek the One who is TRUTH.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the TRUTH and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by me." (John 14:6)

Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, (John 8:31-32) 
“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Liar Liar, Pants on Fire!

Is it just me, or does everything that I hear from this administration seems to be an outright lie? It's almost like a game of who can get away with the most lies and there's no concern about being caught because it now seems like a perverse joke: Who can tell the biggest lies and still keep a straight face? They tell lie after lie with no shame or remorse when they get caught.

Here's some of the evidence that I've gathered thus far:

• Almost all the IRS officials have lied about their unlawful targeting of conservative groups. It was not
  the sole work of a few misguided agents in Cincinnati. They were only following orders from higher ups in Washington.
• Attorney General Eric Holder has lied under oath to Congress. He swore that he had no knowledge of any effort to go after individual reporters. But an official Justice Department statement shows that Holder signed off on a search warrant to monitor the communications of Fox News reporter James Rosen. He LIED.
• Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Oregon) recently asked James Clapper, Dir. of National Intelligence whether the NSA collected the phone and email records of millions of ordinary Americans. Clapper said "NO, it did not." He LIED. 
• Last November, White House press secretary Jay Carney, was asked point blank whether the administration had altered CIA produced intelligence memos to fit it's narrative of a spontaneous riot
  
  in Benghazi fueled by a YouTube video. Jay Carney answered unequivocally that the Obama administration had made only ONE small stylistic change. That too was a LIE. In fact, we later learned that there were at least 12 different drafts that reflected substantial changes.
• The Obama White House lied about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi just to get elected. Obama sent UN ambassador Susan Rice out on 5 Sunday talk shows with the official line that the attack on the Libyan embassy was sparked by a YouTube video. On the night of the attack, Beth Jones, acting secretary of state of the Near Eastern division, sent an email to the State Dept that the group that conducted the attacks on the embassy was Ansar al-Sharia, affiliated with Islamic terrorists. 3 days later the White House prepared talking points for Susan Rice to report that the attack on the Libyan embassy in Benghazi had nothing to do with terrorists. It was in response to a YouTube video. Lies. Nothing but lies.
• Arne Duncan, the secretary of education, on "Face the Nation" was caught in an out-and-out lie saying that because of the sequester, nearly 40,000 teachers would lose their jobs. A week later, he was forced to admit that he had lied.  
• Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior and his Energy Czar Carol Browner lied about and used fraudulent claims to impose an offshore drilling ban in the wake of the BP oil spill, then were rebuked by a federal judge.
• During 2008 campaign, Sen. Obama said, "Public Will Have 5 Days To Look At Every Bill That Lands On My Desk." Lie.
• During the same campaign, Sen. Obama promised that he would have the most open and transparent administration that Washington has ever seen. Lie
• In his attempt to distance himself from the evil Pres. Geo. W. Bush, Obama declared that there would be no illegal wire tapping of American citizens. Now we all know this was a lie.
• Here's an audacious statement from Obama:  "For the first time since 1990, American manufacturers are creating new jobs." Lie.
• "We've excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs." The Tampa Times found at least four.
• Obama: "We import more oil today than ever before." Politifact reports that oil imports are down.

What is the point of this laundry list of lies (which is just the tip of the iceberg). As Victor Hansen writes in the National Review, deception and lies infect every corner of the executive branch, eroding the trust that is necessary for democracy itself. 

The arrogance in Washington is seen in the justification that any means necessary is "ok" even if one has to tell a lie to stop the Tea Party or Fox News, then it's not seen by this administration as a lie.

Where does God stand on the subject of lies? He hates lies and liars. One of the titles for God is the God of Truth (Isaiah 65:16). God says, "The one who does deceitful things will not stay in my home." The one who tells lies will not remain in my presence.(Psalm 101:7).

Proverbs 19:5 (GW) ⁵ A lying witness will not go unpunished. One who tells lies will not escape.

Paul writes 1 Timothy 1:10 (GW) that ¹⁰ Laws are intended for people involved in sexual sins, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for those who lie when they take an oath, and for whatever else is against accurate teachings.

We all get caught in a lie sooner or later. The Lord is not looking for perfection, He's looking for those who have honest and contrite hearts, who are not lifted up with pride or conceit and who can admit their sins and ask for His forgiveness. The problem God really has is with those who practice the art of lying, and do so on a daily basis. They are in grave danger as far as their eternal destiny because they are in bed with the Devil, whom Jesus said is "the father of lies."

Can you hear me now? The NSA says, "Yes we can!!"

President Obama was commenting last Friday on the National Security Agency's anti-terrorist monitoring program, and said this, 

"We've got congressional oversight and judicial oversight. And if people can't trust not only the executive branch but also don't trust Congress and don't trust federal judges to make sure that we're abiding by the Constitution, due process and rule of law, then we're going to have some problems here."

Duh. You think? 

Trust is earned, Mr. President, not assumed. The trust factor between this administration and the American people has been broken. We've been lied to on a daily basis. Too many people, telling too many lies, on too many subjects. The trust locker is bare.They tell lie after lie and have no shame or remorse when they get caught. Why would anyone believe anything they say. If they told me it was a beautiful day I would have to go check for myself and if it was I still wouldn't believe them. 

Do you trust the President? Do you trust the Attorney general? How about Congress? Character matters, and for the past five years, we've put a man in the White House along with his cronies who lacks character. He is a man without a soul, without any conscience.  

Believing Obama and his minions including Hillary Clinton, James Clapper, Jay Carney, Eric Holder is like being asked to purchase a $19.99 video entitled "Gov Gone Wild!" He claims to know nothing about anything. He learns about the latest scandal when you do, by watching the evening news.

During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on March 12 of this year, Ron Wyden asked Director of National Intelligence James Clapper a simple question: “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?”

“No, sir,” Clapper shot back without a pause. 

This message, an explanation to Congress of what the executive branch was up to, was crystal clear: Don’t worry, the NSA is not allowed to track Americans — and it’s not going to. The primary problem with this, as the revelations of last week have demonstrated, is that it was not true.

Now we learn that James Clapper was lying.

Yesterday, Army General Keith Alexander, Director of the NSA, testified before Senate and said the NSA's warrantless, data-mining, secret surveillance program had prevented dozens of terrorist attacks in recent years. Course we can't tell you about them because they're classified. So you'll just have to take our word for it. And we're from the government so we would never ever lie.

Gen. Alexander, do you pinky swear that you're telling the truth? 

NSA Director,  General Keith Alexander with a pinky swear
that he's telling the truth.

The NSA collects all of this data on everybody, but somehow, the government can't track down illegal immigrants. How come meta-data didn't detect the Boston bombers or Maj. Hasan? The Obama administration was also monitoring four Americans fighting for their lives in Benghazi and begging for help. He let them die. Obama let them die!!

Our government is spying on all of us because they refuse to do the sensible thing called "profiling". Why not monitor the calls and emails that go in and out of every mosque in America. Currently, the NSA will not monitor a mosque, church or synagogue. But it would be fine with me if they dropped this wall of separation between the religion and state. Why? Because they would get nothing worthwhile from any church or synagogue, but I suspect that there would be lots of chatter and intel coming from some mosques in America that would help us stop future terrorist plots.

Rather than profile Dearborn, Michigan which is 95% Muslim or those who have secured student visas from Saudi Arabia over the last 5 years, they instead subject every American to scrutiny. This is patting down a 4 yr old in a wheelchair at the airport, rather than focusing on those who are Middle-eastern and fit the profile of just about every terrorist act that we've had in this country since 9-11. We also need to stop giving student visas to Muslims.

James Madison, fourth president of the United States and father of the Constitution wrote: 

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary."

Benjamin Franklin, one of our Founding Fathers, wrote:

 "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
