Why Do American Conservatives Revere Falsehood?

Alan: This correspondence dates back to 2012.

Dear George,

I just got back from two weeks in Mexico.

Thanks for your email, “Trayvon at 17.” 

Here's Snopes' view: http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/martin.asp

I am struck that contemporary conservatives are more dedicated to the creation, cultivation and propagation of rank falsehood than Mother Teresa was dedicated to the destitute of Calcutta.

If, as the Gospel says, “The Truth will set you free," the obverse seems to be that falsehood means bondage.

It is odd that Christians consider gay marriage an abomination but see need to mangle Truth despite the assurance of John 14:6.

Why are American Christians' red button issues sexual while they feel no compunction over the ideological mutilation of the very the nature of Deity.

Nothing is more damaging to The Body Politic (or to personal integrity) than to argue fiction as truth.

"There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: "It's a pound." Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating."    Denis de Rougemont

PS Your forwarded email says that the Republic is being torn down with "a lot of help from the Muslim Brotherhood?" The Muslim Brotherhood is irrelevant when compared to the whole cloth lies whose purpose is to cheat Truth, to believe that Truth is so fragile that it can only survive when "armored" with lies. We are living in a time of Total Fabrication, an unending stream of falsehood spread by cowards who disbelieve the irrepressible power of Truth.

One of Satan's many name's is "legion" and beset by demonic proliferation we are adrift in a swelling sea of falsehood whose purpose is to convince the gullible of what is not so, overwhelming truth tellers with an unmanageable tsunami of lies.

Subject: Fw: Trayvon at 17

Isn’t this the same “little boy” that was murdered by that “white Hispanic” Zimmerman? Dishonesty in the media is tearing down our Republic with a lot of help from the Muslim Brotherhood that is infecting our halls of government and academia. (Ref a talk by security advisor John Guandolo). One of these days we might find a mainstream journalist with a conscience that isn’t in a position to be fired.

Now you know "the rest of the story"...

Subject: Trayvon at 17 Don't know how much coverage this story has had in your area, but, if it has, here's a new look at it! For those of us who thought we were well informed and weren't..... quite the realty check, That old adage applies here. . . "there are two sides to every story" . . . we don't always get the truth from the media. One of my favorite rants...the liberal controlled media...television news...newspapers...magazines...radio... all continue to show 12 year old Trayvon... NOT 17 year old Trayvon... they continue to show the 5 year old picture BECAUSE it helps to cement in your mind the little, cute, hoodie wearing youngster who was stalked by this monster . In reality.."little Trayvon"... at the time of his death... stood almost 6'2" tall...weighed 175 muscular pounds... had numerous run ins with authorities (both at school and local police)... had been stopped and almost arrested two days before his death for... smacking a bus driver in the face... because the driver refused to let him ride for free... he was released because the driver was told not to press charges by the bus company and to continue on his route. When "little Trayvon" was suspended at school... it was not only because he tried to bring a little marijuana in with him... he was in possession of wedding rings and other jewelry... watches etc. that he said he "found" along with a large screwdriver... while on the way to school that day... the jewelry was turned over to the Police by the school. I am not trying to say this was a good shooting... I am not trying to say this kid deserved to die... I am saying... the media in the USA is controlled by liberals who twist and distort what you see and hear in order for you to see things their way. Not a single paper has printed RECENT photos of this kid... because... it would not keep your interest in this case... Not a single paper will admit that this kid was a marijuana dealer... his friends on facebook all say he had the "best plants"... not a single paper will show you any of his recent photos where he shows off a mouthful of gold teeth.... all of his tattoos... not a single paper will tell the news like it really is.... and NOT how they want you to think it is... President Obama... looked at the FIVE year old photo the media chose to show the Nation... and said... "If I had a son... he would look like Trayvon" So from that comment... should I assume you did not bother to look for the facts in this shooting.. or should I assume you want a son who is a 17 year old drug dealing, gold teethed thug whose name on one of his facebook profiles was "wild nigga"... who 'finds" jewelry and burglary tools on the way to school ? A fair and impartial news media in the USA ? One that does not follow the liberal agenda? Is NOT looking to further divide this already fractured Nation?
