My Dear Dear Lying Friends and Neighbors:
I know why politicians lie.
What is really sickening is the dishonesty on the part of my friends and neighbors: voters.
Why do you lie?
Oh, wait!?! You are a Conservative Christians? Don't you realize that "bearing false witness" means "telling lies?" It is. I wouldn't lie to you. It really is.
Lying includes far more than claiming that the sky is always green.
Shocking news: Creating a false impression is lying, too. That means that when you use "buzz-words" to create a false impression, you are lying.
When you tell part of a story to create a false impression, you are lying.
When you share others' lies, you are lying. Yes, even if it is a really cute meme.
When you watch television, read newspapers, and read journals and blogs that are lying, you are participating in lying and enabling liars.
Didn't your parents count it is as a lie if you shared information that was a lie? Yes, they did. Or they should have.
Refusing to read, watch, or believe contradictory information is participating in a lie.
It is perfectly alright to have values! To vote on your values! To vote for candidates that share your values!
You don't have to lie about it.
Don't make me call your parents! Stop it right now!
Love, Vivian
