when the truth is found to be lies

"...when the truth is found to be lies...", lyrics from jefferson airplane, it becomes scary.

we are now trying to embrace the real reasons as to why we went to war in iraq, except we really aren't because no one is to blame for taking us to war in the first place and the myriad of reasons for going to war originally, have changed, and it seems that was just a bunch of history never to be repeated again, anyway.

fox news recants quotes that aren't substantiated, and with the professional voices of television entertainers, who call themselves reporters they spout this and that and say it enough times that it sounds good, but its like a game of "telephone", because every third time they change the facts just a little, but its fox news so its got be "fair and balanced", doesn't it, anyway!

sarah palin is never quoted correctly, even when she is video taped. someone is always playing politics, or is it "shananigans" with her words, never ever getting it just they way she said it, or is it what she meant to say, but the liberal press hates her so it doesn't count, anyway!

the republicans who voted for no bid contracts during the bush wars, now can't be reminded of the that little fact they spent americans tax money without any checks and balances, and now that the democrats are in power it is there war, and besides the money was already spent, so why the big deal, anyway!

and president obama talked about change, he spoke and speaks of a country beaming with "civil rights", "human rights", but somewhere between his stumping for president, and being elected, he has had a whole bunch of other priorities to handle. so the glbt community can wait their turn. after all who needs a marriage, eh, we have enough qualified heterosexual soldiers, and sailors and marines to fight our wars or interpret foreign languages, and there have been kids up for adoption for decades, they surely can wait till they are adults to be adopted by some loving same sex couples. and the promise of change, it was never specified to whom the change was for, anyway!

has the norm become that truth is fictional? has the norm become that when something is said, it is said with a grain of truth, not the whole seed? has the norm become, we really didn't mean it anyway?

"...when the truth is found to be lies," it seems to be just inconvenient, annoying and who cares, anyway?
