Lie land

Are we now living in the land of the lie? Victor Davis Hanson eloquently and cleverly expressed the status of other countries around the world. Witness, he says, the "tribal dictatorships" of the Middle Ease, the "thugs" in Africa, the "creepy places" like Russia, Iran and North Korea and the "land of lotus eaters" in Europe. I’m considering whether America has become the land of the lie - because liberals lie. Liberals includes the media, journalists, Democrat politicians, Hollywood stars, sports heroes, entertainment icons and citizens who seek money, status and privilege while they simultaneously preach economic and social parity. A recent You Tube video portrays this sad reality beautifully and ends with these meaningless, feel-good, words: "Together we can, together we are, and together we will be the change we seek." Our new President Obama has inspired this cult-like, shallow anti-intellectuality, this service to a ‘master.’ Does our new President really represent this inanity and socialist change? We are witnessing an opiated populace, living out life in a land of appealing lies.
