\"lies\"<\/a>Take a moment sometime and read the progressive\u00a0press and study their lies.<\/p>\n

Here are twelve\u00a0techniques they use.<\/p>\n

See if you can spot them.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0They Play the Victim\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 The devil always plays the victim. Poor devil and his angels. They were cast out of heaven. Boo hoo. It was all a misunderstanding don\u2019t you know? How could God have been so mean, so judgmental, so unkind?<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0They Mask Their Rage with \u201cSadness\u201d \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Liberals are always \u201cdeeply concerned\u201d and \u201cdeeply saddened\u201d and \u201cfull of sorrow\u201d when something doesn\u2019t go their way. In fact they\u2019re brimming with suppressed rage, but because that would not look good to the people they are lying to they say instead that they are \u201csaddened\u201d or \u201csorry you feel that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0They Play the Sentimental Card \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Watch out for the way they say that doctrine or immorality don\u2019t matter and \u201cwhat really matters\u201d is \u201chow much you love someone\u201d or how \u201ccompassionate\u201d you are. Almost any kind of wrongdoing is overlooked by pulling on the heartstrings along with the victim game.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0They manipulate emotions \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>They have no genuine emotions. Instead emotions are part of their lying game.\u00a0If you\u2019re angry they play sweet and sad. If you respond with calm rationality they hit you with anger and rage.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Everything is relativized by making circumstances and intentions the only guidelines \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>This is known as situational ethics. There is no right or wrong. There is no objective truth or objectively right or wrong actions. Instead everything is judged by the circumstances and intention. Circumstances: \u201cShe was really poor. That\u2019s why she posed nude. So that makes it okay.\u201d Intentions: \u201cHer elderly mother was in so much pain. It was the end of her life anyway. She gave her the injection to put her out of her misery\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0They mask their aggression with charm \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The devil comes as an angel of light. You don\u2019t really expect that he is going to show himself as he really is\u2013fangs and all do you? No. The lies will always be sugar coated. The liar will always seem smooth, plausible, reasonable and charming. Keep your guard up. The general rule is if you spot someone who is too good to be true. Guess what? He\u2019s too good to be true.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0They are proud \u2013 <\/strong>\u00a0They will never laugh at themselves. Never.\u00a0Continue\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>Reading<\/a>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
