One Guy's Opinion on the Political Scene By: Jim Herndon
What’s With the DemPols?
What is it with Democrat politicians? They can’t contain themselves from telling little lies to ingratiate themselves to their audience – lies that one can so easily check and, in today’s world of the Internet, someone will surely do.
They are generally lawyers to whom truth is relative, and, if they are long standing incumbents, they are accustomed to comfortably lying to the public whom they believe are too ignorant to question. Iowa Democrat Senator Tom Harkin, a recent example, got carried away in a Memorial Day speech and said that he, wonderful patriot that he is, flew many combat missions over Viet Nam. This was similar to Hillary Clinton telling us gullible chumps how she was told to sit on her flak jacket as her airplane flew through anti-aircraft attack into Bosnia. Didn’t happen. A bald-faced lie that he should have known someone would check out. He didn’t fly combat aircraft, he flew a cargo airplane; so, what was his response? He allowed as how he didn’t fly fighters or bombers but did fly cargo over Viet Nam. Well, there he went again; his military record shows he never flew in Viet Nam at all.
Candidate Barack Hussein Obama has been doing his share of the “tell em anything, they won’t know the difference” philosophy, and, in the process, prove what a lightweight he is and how ignorant he is in American history for an aspiring president. In his Memorial Day Speech, he said his uncle was among the troops that liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp – the first such discovery by the allied forces. He said his uncle was so upset that “he came home, went up in the attic." The problem with this? Auschwitz was not liberated by U.S. troops but by those of the Soviet Union.
