What is Truth in Politics?
Hmmm, seems like a good question to start with considering this "AConservativeBlog"! To ascertain this question, we must decide A) who is doing the asking?, and B) who is being asked? You might ask, what difference does it make? Actually quite a bit as we will hopefully see in brief detail.
Let's start with "Who is doing the asking?" If one is of the mainstream variety of politicians who are trying to run this country into the ground and who have forgotten that our government is supposed to be by the people and for the people, then the question poses a great problem. Take the example of a fairly recent president (BC) who decided that actual truth was not actually what mattered but how you defined what you think is possibly, maybe, not sure, don't want to get indicted, sort of truth. How could we forget, "Define is!"
On the other hand, truth only seems to be important when the person doing the asking can only remember current history. Classic example, President GWB supposedly needs to be impeached because a small handful of AG's were fired recently. The flaming liberal crowd must be crowing with delight at the problems they think they are creating by telling their version of the truth in this matter. However, they have ALL conveniently forgotten that ex-prez BC had Janet Reno fire ALL 93 AG's in 1993! For those who want to bring up that he was impeached and so should GWB remember that BC was NOT impeached for having 93 AG's fired, but because he was a dishonest man who could not keep his hands off a certain intern and lied about it under oath. Not to mention the TRUTH that he broke his marriage vows made before God and to his wife!
And speaking of his wife/hopeful prez wannabe HRC, as more than one person has noted, she has stated that if elected she will fire all of Bush's appointees with no regards to each individual's performance or decisions. She feels this is perfectly acceptable just as it was for her hubby. However, HRC is trying to lead the pack in trying to close in for the kill of GWB when he has eight of his DAs fired "based on their performance and judgment in prosecutorial discretion!"
Obviously THAT kind of truth is not relevant! The White House staff need to wake up and smell the coffee because what happened in past administrations and will probably happen in future administrations has NO bearing whatsoever on what is currently happening. And so it would seem that as long as we have a long-eared ass in the Big Chair on Pennsylvania Ave, we can be assured of TRUTH. However, the people should take note of the elephants who have long memories and do not forget past injustices -- but then again, THAT also has no bearing on actual truth does it?
Well, that's their story and they are sticking to it, so help them God, oops, what I mean to say is so help them based on the benevolent-deity-of-their-choosing-or-not-as-the-case-may-be for you be assured that the One True God has nothing but contempt for their version of TRUTH. TRUTH is defined by a much higher standard than that to which our country's politicians are being held accountable. But more on that later. Can't mix politics and religion, you know separation of church and state and all that stuff. Don't want the You-Decide-What-Is-Truth Police trying to correct us for being too right-wing, extreme, or conservative!!
