| | | Hey Bill, speaking of lies, this makes for very good reading, even though it largely confirms what you already know.
I think I'll adopt this slogan from now on, despite how dogmatic it sounds: "If you always doubt a leftist claim, you will almost always be closer to the truth."

Assume the Left Lies And You Will Discover The Truth: Reflections On The Trump-Russia Collusion Lie
But the biggest reason I never believed the Russian collusion charge was that the charge emanated from the left. And the left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it.
The left wanted to undo the 2016 presidential election from the day Trump won. So they made up the Russian collusion story. This was obvious to every conservative — except for “Never Trumpers,” who, with regard to Trump, have been indistinguishable from the left and were therefore as prepared as any leftist to believe the Trump-Russia collusion tale. We conservatives knew that a) the left wanted to invalidate the election and b) the left lies when it is in their interest to do so. So we knew the collusion charge was a fabrication.
...
If you always doubt a leftist claim, you will almost always be closer to the truth. I employed that rule in concluding the collusion story was a fraud, and it served me well. |
