In his book, 1984, George Orwell wrote two lines that describe the strategy of progressives today:

“If all records told the same tale — then the lie passed into history and became truth.”

“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”

These two classic lines from Orwell describe how the progressives tell us lies and the lies become truth.  There are many examples from the early 1900s, and some you would remember have happened in the last fifteen years.

Harry Reid, without even a smirk, said he’d never mentioned reconciliation.  Well there are only dozens of clips that put the lie to that statement, but repeated often enough, it becomes true.  When the media doesn’t report the facts, spin becomes reality.

Barack Obama promised no new taxes of any kind on those making less than $250,000 a year: then along came health care, and soon we’ll see tax and trade, and you’ll wonder whatever happened to no new taxes.

“I never had sex with that woman…”  Remember?  And he had to turn in his law license and pay a fine for that one.  But he almost got away with it.

“Read my lips, no new taxes”.  Well, sort of.

There are many more examples, but the purpose here is to illustrate a point not to incite or entertain.

The point of all of this is to say that politicians and others who wish to have power will change the meaning of words they don’t like or just flat out lie.  They will tell a story so often it is accepted as truth; when the Constitution doesn’t give them the power to do what they want, they ignore it or get their pet judges to change the law.

Now we have a health care bill that will not improve health care one iota, but will cost you more for less care.  If you listened to the President and Senate leadership, that wasn’t going to happen, but it has.

The only solution is for the voters in this country to know who they elect, what their positions are on the issues, and how their history matches their rhetoric.  It’s not Democrat or Republican anymore; it’s the beliefs and character of the candidate that will make the difference.  It’s whether they are working toward the best solution for the nation and all the citizens.  We need honest women and men in government who will do what they say, not what they need to do to get re-elected.

We the People should demand no more and accept no less.
