Liar, liar world is on fire!

What Thomas Sowell points out about Obama's 'talents' as a liar, the Australian government has been doing as baldly and twice as much:

One of the highly developed talents of President Barack Obama is the ability to say things that are demonstrably false, and make them sound not only plausible but inspiring.

That talent was displayed just this week when he was asked whether he thought the Supreme Court would uphold ObamaCare as constitutional or strike it down as unconstitutional.

He replied: "I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress."

But how unprecedented would it actually be if the Supreme Court declared a law unconstitutional if it was passed by "a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress"?

The Supreme Court has been doing precisely that for 209 years!

Nor is it likely that Barack Obama has never heard of it. He has a degree from the Harvard law school and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago law school. In what must be one of the most famous Supreme Court cases in history — Marbury v. Madison in 1803 — Chief Justice John Marshall established the principle that the Supreme Court can declare acts of Congress null and void if these acts violate the Constitution.

They have been doing so for more than two centuries. It is the foundation of American constitutional law. There is no way that Barack Obama has never heard of it or really believes it to be "unprecedented" after two centuries of countless precedents.

In short, he is simply lying.

We have entered into a new definition of 'civilzation' or perhaps the collapse thereof. Most likely as the result of the 1960's rebellion against everything that appeared to restrict ones personel 'freedom', and culminating in the post-modern fallacy of truth being a subjective construction.

A lack of truth in education, manners, political life and 'civil' society results in the inevitable, though tragic
consequence of a multiplication of liars...logical and as inevitable as night following day.

Welcome to our brave new world of not knowing what to believe...that is for those without the Good Book!
