The hardest tumble a man can make is to fall over his own bluff.  -- Ambrose Bierce.

We now all know that both John McCain and Sarah Palin are Liars. They tell lies. They stoop to decieve the people they would serve. Why? Why would they do this?

Fear.

They are afraid of something they think wouldn't happen if they told us the truth. What do they fear from us? That we will not surrender our consent. That we will not give our support. That we will not elect them to rule us.

What is it about the Truth they would tell, that, knowing it, they fear would cost them our consent and support? What is the grievous reality they are attempting to conceal from us?

That in fact, Sarah Palin is that paragon of pork eating, government handout beggar he has denounced from the well of the Senate for so many years that he has built his reputation upon it? Feet of clay.

Then here is the other lie they told--repeated ad nauseum by GW Bush, DICK Cheney, et.al. The LIE: that Sarah Palin is qualified to inherit the Oval Office should McCain succumb to an untimely demise. If she is so qualified as they claim from the rooftops--then they would put her in front of every reporter, on every News channel and every newspaper to take their case to the People for their elevation to the Chief Executive Office. That they do not--flags the claim as a lie.

Some of us hate lies for what they are: false. A lie attempts to suggest a reality that does not exist. It is a sandcastle in the air. It is a trick. It is a ruse. It is a figment of a twisted character that takes hold in the public imagination like a feverish disease.

Reject anyone who would lie to you in order to obtain your consent surreptiously. Otherwise your regret will never end.

Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority. --T.H. Huxley

Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion... or you shall learn nothing. --T.H. Huxley

Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly. --T.H. Huxley
