“It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”—Thomas Jefferson
Nearly every government in history has been built upon a lie. That is certainly the case with the current government the Democratic Party is trying to establish in its attempt to have a revolution and overthrow the government erected by America’s Founding Fathers. Examples to follow, but let’s look at the principle first.
It’s almost axiomatic that government officialsconstantly lie to their citizens. Only the hopelessly naïve believe anything ANY politician says, Democrat or Republic. At best, we are all highly skeptical. Why do government people lie so much? Well, if they told the truth and preached virtuous, civilized, righteous behavior, people wouldn’t need them very much, would they. Lie to the people, get them to believe as much error as possible, create fear, stoke the embers of resentment, hatred, and division, convince the masses that they cannot live without government tyrants—that is the constant pursuit of power-hungry government despots. It’s all a lie. It’s what government tyrants do to enhance their power. They don’t want the truth, yea, they hate it. This has been true all through history and with tragic consequences.
Most governments throughout time have been established upon a hierarchical system that teaches that some people are “born” superior to others and thus have a “right” to rule. We usually call him a king or emperor, and he passed his despotism on to his son(s)—until somebody smarter, meaner, more ruthless, and hungrier took power from him and established a new “dynasty.” The system of hierarchy remained in place, but the dynasties frequently changed. That is true in almost every corner of the earth.
Ever since the American and French Revolutions, “freedom” and “equality” have become the “standards”governments are judged by, but those ideals are stillrelatively uncommon around the world. Despotism does not surrender easily. And such is usually because leaders lie to their subjects.
Adolf Hitler built his entire Nazi system on the lie that the “Aryan race” was superior to all others. His error/lie lasted only 12 years, but how many millions of innocent people died in his war, a government-caused conflictconstructed upon a human lie? Error needed the support of government; truth wouldn’t have.
The entire Marxist/communist system is founded upon a lie. As Marx said, “Communism begins where atheism begins,” and atheism is the ultimate, definitive lie—the denial of the eternal God Who created the universe and natural law, and Who gives us the truth to guide us in thislife—truth humans usually deny in their lust for lies. There exists no more supreme lie than atheism. And the result of this atheistic lie is hundreds of millions of innocent men, women, children, and babies (born and unborn) who have been ruthlessly murdered by communist regimes in Russia, China, Cuba, and other godless totalitarian countries. That is the system the Democratic Party, ultimately, wants to give America. And the consequences are already obvious.
Religion often lies, too. And when it does, it is just as erroneous as atheism. Any lie is contrary to God’s truth. And governments built upon religious lies—as many are today—are as barbaric, uncivilized, and repulsive as those built upon atheism. A lie is a lie is a lie, regardless of its source. And all lies, ultimately, hurt people, many of which are truly tragic and horrendous in their costs.
America became a great country because our Founders established it upon the truth that “all men are CREATED equal”—no one is born with a right to rule anyone else—and “that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The American system started with God and the truth of the equality of humans in the eyes of that God. Now understandably, given the thousands of years of hierarchy before 1776 which was embedded in the minds of humanity, it took a while for these greats truths to filter down to all Americans. History is a juggernaut, a monolith, it rarely moves rapidly. Indeed, the system Jefferson, Madison, et al, established was itself the end road of hundreds of years of efforts by previous generations. The Founders didn’t establish the truths of America in a vacuum. They stood on the shoulders of great men who had gone before. The Left totally ignores this.
But America’s Founders revolutionized the world. It is, frankly, incredible, that in barely 100 years after the American Revolution, chattel slavery was almost extinctfrom the globe. That is lightning speed in history. Today, legally, every American citizen has equal protection of the laws. Theoretically (though not practically, as Biden’s Justice Department is proving) every American is protected by the same laws, with the same rights. That is the ultimate truth based upon “all men are created equal.”
But since the Left rejects God, doesn’t truly believe in the equality of man, and doesn’t accept absolute truth, its entire system is based upon error, upon lies—the same lies humans have been told for thousands of years by kings andcommunist dictators, viz., that some people are better than others and deserve to rule and be obeyed. That is what Hitler believed. That is what Stalin believed. That is what Xi Jinping believes.
That is what Joe Biden and the Democratic Party believe.
And that is what the American Revolution of 1776—the revolution based upon eternal truths—was trying to overthrow.
Biden and the Democrats want to overturn the American Revolution. So, they lie. Constantly, and about everything. Truth is definitely not in the interest of governments like Hitler’s, Stalin’s, Xi’s, and Joe Biden’s.
Truth doesn’t need such support. But then, truth is not tyrannical and in constant search for power and control over other human beings.
Examples of Democratic Party lies coming soon.
