Mark #59:

Yes, you’ve got it. What I have seen is that the Left makes a big noise about every Valerie Plame, Dubai Ports Deal, U.S Attorneys Firing, Weapons for Iraq, Weapons for Iran, Weapons for Osama, Bitberg Ceremony (remember that one?) in order to devalue the very concepts of honesty, truth, and looking out for the nation’s real interests.

They depend on people going to sleep, hearing the noise and thinking “Well, the politicians are all crooks, so what does it matter who we elect.” They trade a Plamegate for a congressman with cash in the freezer or a secret house in the Bahamas, a Bush DWI for a Chappaquitick, a Reagan not being able to recall some details for a Hillary “My mind is a complete blank on the Rose Law Firm case.”

They seek to increase cynicism and distrust in the government and our society for their own ends. Hope means “Hope you don’t recall.” Change means “Change the facts of history.”

Their long term approach to getting caught is to be able to say “Hey, everybody’s doing it.”

This is not just lying; this is lying to destroy the very concept of truth.
