When did it become a sin for children but fashionable for politicians to lie?
Lying today has become so blatant the politicians don’t feel obligated to deny
But kids on the other hand are expected to toe the line anytime they fib
A stern look from parents or teachers can easily result in a false ad-lib
Loss of privileges, being grounded, or banished to their room seem to always be the results
“But why” is the response as the punishment is doled. It now seems flagrant lying is only reserved for adults
Politicians for years have engaged in this practice. George Washington really didn’t chop down the cherry tree.
Politicians now just look you in the eye, tell their falsehood, and state “they’ll guarantee”
In the past 40 or so years Presidents (and numerous other politicians) have lied to the American people with a straight face
The citizens swallowed the fabrications since it probably didn’t directly concern them rather than calling the bald-faced liars a national disgrace
George H Bush’s “read my lips; no new taxes” was cast into the pool and the people bought it hook line and sinker
Bill Clinton literally came next with his famous “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” causing massive eye rolling with any normal hormonal thinker
George W. Bush a couple years later declared “I’m a decider and I decide what is best”
Such as destabilizing the Middle East in the quest for weapons of mass destruction for which he became obsessed
“You can keep your doctor” stated Obama looking straight into the camera while shoveling out his healthcare plan
The plan that forced people to not only buy his health insurance but to pay for others because you can
“Mexico will pay for the wall” was the rallying cry for Trump in his first campaign
The wall was only partially built and Mexico paid for it with illegal migrants with the number approaching ungovernably insane
So when Biden pardoned his son after saying he wouldn’t, he just added to his already large sackful of lies
He felt obligated to break his earlier statement as his own party had seen to his demise
Kids today have a hard time understanding the value of truth
Apparently it’s okay to openly lie as an adult but not as a youth
So whether it’s George with his hatchet or Joe with his various money laundering schemes
Lies only matter if you’re under twelve or so it seems
