Chapter 20: Myth—Politics Doesn’t Matter

Page 60

As Democratic operatives and politicians referred to Bush as Hitler or

made some other vile lie, I heard Bush several times dismiss the vitriolic language as being “just politics.” Aside from the outright lies of various groups, we even witnessed the CBS NEWS organization trying to fabricate a huge lie on the eve of the election with fraudulent documents. Now referred

to as “Rathergate” — this mainstream news outlet has documented that it is okay to lie, as long as you can get away with it. In this case, Dan Rather didn’t get away with it. What does it mean when leaders and journalists will willingly lie to the American people? It means we are at a moral abyss and

that the truth and civility, which used to permeate American political life no longer does. For many, it is now about obtaining their personal goals at all costs, even if it means outright lying to and misleading the American people.

To add insult to injury in the Clinton Impeachment saga, the Clinton

Library in Arkansas now represents his impeachment as the “politics of personal destruction.” Clinton is still held in high respect by Democrats to this date and his wife may even run for the presidency herself. Yet, should the nation support her? When you piece together this picture, you find that

the Democratic Party is a party that supports liars. That lying is a mode of operation in their political playbook, which seeks dominance and power over the American people. Yet, where is the morality in their lies? Where is the morality in allowing our children and successive generations to be duped by

lies at a library designed to conceal the truth of Impeachment? Perhaps the saddest fact of the Democrats’ behavior is that Clinton was not held morally accountable and now a party that still “believes his lies and rationalization” will foist his immorality on future generations via his presidential library.

Lying is a serious offense with God and those who practice lying, “shall have their part in the lake, which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Again I ask, “Do you believe God’s Word?”

“A lying mouth destroys the soul.” Wisdom 1:11 NRSV

“But … all liars shall have their part in the lake which

burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Rev. 21:8
