A liar is someone who lies and knows they lies. But if you feel you are not lying, then you are not a liar. To say that someone's philosophy allows them the opportunity to say something that an observer believes to be untrue but the person saying it does not think it to be untrue is different than saying that person is a liar.

I provided a story earlier that accurately describes this philosophy:

Popular postmodernism is evident in the recent U.S. election debacle. Modernists assumed that it was possible to hold an election by ascertaining an objective, mathematical count, a process helped along by the inexorable objectivity of machines.

But in our first postmodern election, objective certainty was thrown into doubt. The findings of voting machines were suspect, to be replaced by human observers interpreting the significance of tiny indentations on pieces of paper.

For postmodernists, all meaning is nothing more than interpretation, and interpretation is inherently subjective, variable from one person to another, and open to ideological bias.

-- As counterpoint to your cultist assertion, I think the statement is a critical analysis of your propaganda campaign to count the vote, since the vote counting has already been completed in a constitutional manner, notwithstanding the FSCC ruling.
