a pattern of lies

Today I heard a report about the misleading and sometimes out right lies being told about the newly passed Health Care Bill. The report came out a day after the House of Representatives, of which the entire Republican class and three Democrats voted to repeal the bill.

The many people who for whatever reason hate the government, don't like the black president, disregard the election results, don't like the status quo changed, or who need someone to blame their woes and worries on, feasted heavily on the innuendo, fabrication, falsehoods presented by a majority of Republican/Tea Bag politicians whose only reason to lie to the American public was to try and further their own careers and professional agenda. With the help of wealthy CEO's of the Health Insurance cartels looking to further their financial bottom lines, no conscience was necessary in leading the lemming astray.

It seems that America of 2010/2011 has fallen into a pattern of lie first, lie loud, when found out you lied, lie a bit more to cover your tracks. If you are found out as a liar, deny. If you are found out you are a liar, destroy as much evidence as possible. If you are found out to be a liar, defend yourself by attacking the accuser as a hater. Never admit to the lie of course because you may then have to admit to fallibility.

Consequences never seem to follow evil actions or intentions in this country. We seem to think about what is good for me first, or God has told me to do this, or that tolerance is a special trait for only those I want to tolerate. It seems that no matter how we scream we are a Judea /Christian nation we behave the exact opposite and reward selfish and self serving behavior.

We watch reality shows, and the most popular are the ones with drunk women beating up other women, or steroided men treating women like objects, or mean spirited judges calling people losers, or people shooting animals for the fun of it. We watch married people who love the money and not their relationship, we watch preachers and pastors who every other minute remind you that you too can be closer to God if you give your life savings. We watch entertainment personalities (identifying themselves as journalists) who love to build fences and identify what it is that keeps us separate and makes us look differently.

We evoke Gods name and say it is his word that allows us to shoot doctors who perform abortions. We protest funerals because God hates Gays. We know God was white and thus there is not room in America for all those brown skinned Latins. We deny health insurance to ALL Americans because God founded this nation and he certainly did not found a Socialist country. God's politics, so many believe, is an Evangelical Conservative Christian, Orthodox Jewish, Vatican Catholic, and he is certainly not a Progressive, Humanist, or Liberal. And we will destroy, disrupt, and devour anyone, in God's name who gets in the way of our interpretation of Gods will.

Today the House of Representatives repealed the Health Insurance Bill. They promise something better. They dislike the socialist thing called Obama care, but love the socialist medicine they have received as government employees. They say they have the morals to make America better. (But no discussion on any kind of gun ban). And there is a sucker born every minute so it seems who believe that they are right.

There is a pattern of lies that seem unstoppable. Truth is based on lies. The lies become believed and soon there is no way to prove the truth. And the truth can change at the whim of those who love to create a pattern of lies.
