The Prince of Lies

Methinks he got a little sidetracked with something a smidge more important.

9/11 regards...

No, he was too busy trying to figure out a way to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. But he still had plenty of time (8 years) (6 with a majority Congress) to do something about health care and did nothing.

Obama still has to deal with Iraq and Afghanistan along with a ruined economy that bush left him with and still is trying to put a health care reform through.

It is a health care take over not reform. Reform would get government out and put providers and insurers at the employ of the patients. Instead of providers being employed by insurance companies and governments, and insurance companies employed by the employers.

Which is the bigger lie? 46 million Americans wothout health insurance or the quotes? How about 95% of Americans will get a tax cut or the quotes? Or that a crisis in medical spending can be solved with more spending? Look at public edication increased federal spending brought more federal control, less local control, and a total loss of control. Why would health care work any differently?

Here some Lenin quotes Obama would like;

“One man with a gun can control 100 without one.”

“It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed. ”

“Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.”

“The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.”

“Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.”

Check those.

Most of these cannot be traced to Lenin as far as I can determine. The currency statement traces back to John Maynard Keynes in 1920 who said this at one point as a paraphrase of sentiments that some people ascribed to Lenin. (They Never Said It by Paul Boller & John George, Google Books)

At some point you have to ask yourself why quotes get made up and then repeated time after time. Remember, as Rush Limbaugh said, "The only way to beat the Socialists is to tell so many lies that they no longer know what is real." Or as Hannity said, "We are at war and in war anything goes. Whatever lies we may tell are necessary to convince people of the one central truth: liberals are evil and must be defeated."

Rather than be upset when I raise such questions, why don't you try checking some of thes things yourself? When you see a quote that seems almost too good to be true, check to see if there is any verifiable source indicated for the quote. If there is not, it is probably because there isn't one. The ask yourself if the quote actually reflects the person to who it is attributed or if it reflects how the person citing the "quote" would like you to view that person. The difference is the difference between truth and lies.

And, by the way, my "quotes" of Limbaugh and Hannity are pure fabrications -- or at least I hope they are. However, they are as accurate as most of the favorite "quotes" I see attributed to heros and villains on conservative web sites.

I've been to that site and I've read it. Do you see any citations of where those statements were made? Lenin wrote many things. Many, if not most, were translated into English and most can be searched on line. Thinkexist.com has no quality standards limiting what is attributed to whom or requiring any documentation of sources.

Again, all bow to the "SOLE POSSESOR OF THE TRUTH!!"

Whats your problem man? Just because you might have a distant relationship with the truth does not mean everyone does. He asked what is a reasonable question. Because he questioned an assertion made in an article (because he couldn't find any truth to it) that gives you license to ridicule him? If you can't answer the question than say so...................but to go after him personally is just something juveniles do.

How about this one "46 million Americans without health insurance" by Obama

Can they all be wrong?

Save your breath, if you had a video of Comrade Lenin saying it the left would not believe it.
