“It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good disposition.”

~ Thomas Jefferson [etter to Peter Carr, 19 August 1785]
 

Jefferson’s words are as true now as they were in the 18th century. Unfortunately for the American people, lying is the chief modus operandi of the Democrat party these days. That’s not to say that Republicans are immune to deceit. Democrats however, simply can’t afford to tell the truth about their radical intentions to transform America – or they’d never win another election.
 
Barack Obama knew he had to lie about his true feelings on gay “marriage” if he wanted a shot at the White House. He and his cohorts flat-out lied about keeping doctors and insurance companies to jam through ObamaCare. The Dems lied about the disastrous Iran deal. The entire Left is lying about climate change (primarily to redistribute wealth on a global basis, expanding government control into every aspect of our lives). They lied about fetuses being a clump of cells, and now they’re lying about late-term abortions.
 

Because most Americans don’t share their radical positions, progressives must lie to push every facet of their transformative agenda. Their latest falsehoods involve border security. Here are some excerpts from a January 15th article by Dennis Prager that brilliantly exposes the anti-wall arguments for the deceitful fallacies they truly are ~

Democrats and others on the left offer three reasons for their opposition to building a wall on America’s southern border.
 
1. A wall is ineffective.
 
2. A wall is too expensive.
 
3. A wall is immoral.
 
Each one is false, so false as to constitute lies…
 

1. The left says a wall (or steel barrier) would be “ineffective” at preventing illegal immigration. We know it doesn’t believe this, because just five years ago, Speaker Nancy Pelosi supported a bill that required the construction of 700 miles of border fencing. And Sen. Chuck Schumer was one among the “Gang of Eight” Republicans and Democrats who also supported 700 miles of fencing at the border. Every Senate Democrat voted for the Gang of Eight Bill, including 36 Democrats who serve in the Senate today.

Do Schumer and Pelosi and all these other Democrats regard fencing as effective but a wall as ineffective? Do Democrats deny that Israel’s barrier has virtually ended Palestinian terrorism? Do they believe Turkey’s just-built 500-mile wall across nearly its entire border with Syria will be ineffective? Do they know about the effective walls/barriers between the Turkish- and Greek-controlled areas in Cyprus; between Hungary and Serbia and Croatia; Morocco and Algeria; India and Pakistan; and elsewhere?
 
2. Do leftists believe the country cannot afford $5.7 billion? As the Democrats have approved $1.3 billion for border security, the difference is about one-tenth of 1 percent of U.S. federal spending ($4.5 trillion). Democrats and the rest of the left make this argument. Yet they are the very people who, for more than half a century, have successfully pushed for unprecedented expansion of government spending; the very people who are overwhelmingly responsible for local, state and federal government debts of such magnitude that they cannot be paid without massive decreases in spending and the likely social disruption they entail. It is not possible these people believe America cannot afford to pay for a wall. They are, therefore, lying when they claim the price tag is too high.

 
3. Is there a Democrat or leftist who regards walls or other physical barriers surrounding homes or communities as immoral? One doubts it. For one thing, many of them live behind a physical barrier. So, then, why isn’t a physical barrier that protects America equally moral? The only possible answers are that these people don’t really regard America as their home or they are lying about a wall being immoral.

Prager concludes with this, the TRUTH about the Left’s congenital dishonesty ~

Because lies are effective in achieving left-wing goals. There are people in every political, social and religious group who lie. And there are people within every one of those groups who are truth tellers. But — and this is a “but” whose significance cannot be overstated — while truth is a liberal value and truth is a conservative value, truth has never been a leftist value. For the left, there is always something more important. In this case, it is the humiliation of the president of the United States.
