Lies Become Truth

Does something seem wrong in our country when lying is considered proper behavior? Apparently for a significant per cent of our population doublespeak, alternative facts, answering a question with different belligerent question, have all become normalized when done for what some perceive as the greater good, or at least their economic greater material wealth, or for ethnic and racist hate. It bothers me to the core. Why does it not bother so many so called, “religious people” in particular? How can one supposedly call themselves a religious person, when their views actually obfuscate the hate deep in their hearts, for “the other.” Perhaps they can pray on it. Sadly, I don’t think it will help.

The moral compass of America, needs to wake up to what is happening, lest we go down a perilous amoral road with ever increasing speed. It has all happened before in history, all too often, but it can be stopped.
