Love, Lies, Betrayal, and Deceit - Why Do We Lie to Those We Love?
2008-05-08 14:39:00
Why do husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, lie to each other?Our romantic relationships are seldom what they seem. We all want a relationship that is built on openness, intimacy, and trust, but the truth is, our relationships do not always work that way. More often than not, our intimate relationships involve secrecy and deceit. In fact, if you want to look for deception and betrayal in your own life, the best place to start is close to home. Husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, often lie about their true feelings for each other, the feelings they have for others, and their level of commitment. Indeed, it is safe to say that people save their biggest and most serious lies for those they love.For better or worse, our romantic relationships are full of paradoxes which we try to overlook, downplay and ignore. For the most part, this strategy works well. Until the day comes when it doesn’t, and with little warning or preparation we have to confront face-on the r...
Ben Stein and Glenn Beck: Ignorance, Deceit and Stupidity, OH MY!
2008-05-04 00:00:00
Nothing I say short of quoting them directly could prepare you for the profound levels of ignorance you are about to hear. Stein and Beck's ignorance of and/or deliberate deceit with respect to science, evolution, atheism and morality are absolutely depressing. They are an unfortunate pair of exemplars of the intellectual ...

Scientology Psychobabble: The brain & mind according to Hubbard
2008-04-14 03:39:00
In this video, a Scientologist makes a number of apparently absurd and/or far-fetched L. Ron Hubbard-based claims. Firstly, he (i.e., the speaker; though “he” could just as easily refer to Hubbard, as this person is clearly well indoctrinated into Hubbard’s dogmatic cult of personality) claims that the function of the brain is to act as a shock absorber for the ...

John M.

Given that the release of the crocumentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is right around the corner, and that its promotional team is showing the sorts of dogmatism that it is accusing the mainstream scientific community (or, “Big Science”) of (e.g., by expelling prominent critic, PZ Myers from a screening, attempting to bribe Christian schools to force their ...

PZ Myers EXPELLED from Expelled!?!?

A number of blogs have already commented on this unsurprising bit of irony: the makers of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (an upcoming Intelligent Design/Creationist crocumentary attempting to cast mainstream science - and evolutionary science in particular - as a dogmatic and somewhat totalitarianesque regime, to misrepresent evolutionary biology and the research behind it, and to ...
Expelled: No Intelligent Flying Spaghetti Monsters Allowed
2008-03-10 17:44:00
I’m mad. Flaming mad! I thought the scientific community was about academic freedom, following the evidence wherever it leads, and expelling dogmatism. That was until I saw this documentary preview. I was wrong. The scientific community that I had long trusted and respected has been usurped by Darwinist dogmatists. Richard Dawkins may be Darwin’s Rottweiler, ...

Betrayal, deceit, corruption and John McCain
2008-02-02 16:36:00
Betrayal, deceit, corruption and John McCain By Ted SampleyU.S. Veteran DispatchNovember 14, 2007 Last week, Sen. John McCain launched on fellow Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani criticizing the former New York City mayor because Bernie Kerik, police commissioner under Giuliani, was indicted and accused of fraudulent dealings. "A president's judgment matters and Rudy Giuliani has repeatedly placed personal loyalty over regard for the facts," declared McCain, suggesting that Giuliani's support of Kerik showed a serious lapse in judgment. Kerik, 52, according to a 16-count federal indictment, received cash and gifts for lobbying regulators on behalf of a New Jersey construction and waste-management firm. Prosecutors allege that Kerik cheated on taxes and lied to investigators--including those recommending him for a cabinet-level post on behalf of President George W. Bush. McCain has forgotten his own history of involvement with betrayal, deceit and corruption When ...

Through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
2008-01-30 12:48:00
Jer 9:6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.Good morning dear friends let us look at today's verse and ask that God would allow us to see what we can glean from His Word that we may not be led astray. This verse has been on my mind for the past couple of days after reading it in my nightly devotions, and I couldn't help thinking about the consequences of it. You see the prophet Jeremiah was warning the nation of Judah about the way their religious leaders, and others were acting. I see this same thing going on today in our present world, not that this hasn't been going on for ages. You see the people were being deceived and taught wrong for the advancement of some folks over others, the priests were corrupting the priesthood, and causing the nation of Judah to sin against God. People are just as deceitful today, they use Christianity as a gain for their own selfish desires rather than preaching the true Word of Go...
Sharia banking: Not unsecular, but deceitful to Muslims?

I first heard of the introduction of sharia loan programs at North American banks this past summer. It didn’t bother me, and why should it have?

The ?Oppression? of Christians in America
2008-01-17 22:31:00
It’s become somewhat popular among hardline Christians in America to claim that they are being oppressed. “The scientific community is oppressing Intelligent Design” (which isn’t scientific, is based on no evidence, makes no predictions, and has been proven to be nothing more than Creationism in a cheap disguise, and was even rejected outside of the ...
Seeking Victory in Defeat: the Ultimate Deceit
2008-01-17 20:56:00
by William A. Cook “Iraq will be a central challenge – perhaps the central challenge – for whoever succeeds President Bush and has to repair the profound damage he has wrought with a war that should never have been fought …” - Editorial, The New York Times, 1/13/2008 It has come to this after seven years; the venerable New York Times, without acknowledging its own culpability in fermenting the President’s drive to war with its front page declarations of imminent threats from Saddam Hussein against America as reported by Judith Miller, finally acknowledges that this war “should never have been fought” and places the responsibility for its “repair” on the President that succeeds Bush. How righteous. How simply stated -- “to repair the profound damage he has wrought.” How exactly does this new President “repair” the lost lives of 4000 American soldiers and the devastation visited upon their families, mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, and children? How does he or she “rep...

?In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act,? George Orwell---------------------------------------Democracy isn't about talking pretty or playing paddy cakes all day , it is about telling the truth and the truth is sometimes ugly, often times people do not want to hear it, but we are going to tell it here and we are going to expose the people that feel that can profit from the misery of others and operate in the darkness with inmunity.The war against elder abuse is going to be fought with tears and suffering also with facts, statistics and truth and we are going to fight it one battle at a time and we are are not going to be intimidated into silence.
Romnifications and Romneyisms: Romneologisms

About 4 weeks ago I coined the term Romneyism. I defined the term as “lies, hypocritical acts and statements, and other assortments of disingenuous bullshit emitted by Mitt Romney”. Apparently, and not unexpectedly, I am not the only one who has been so inspired by Romney’s Romneyisms as to propose additions to the lexicon. Another ...

Jack Rivall, a friend and fellow secular activist from North Dakota, recently reviewed the Intelligent Design Wedge Strategy to insert Christianity into the public Science classroom (and to create an illusion of scientific respectability).

Cave Dwellers: More Democratic Deceit on War and Torture
2007-12-10 01:21:00
by Chris Floyd The Washington Post reports that Congressional Democrats are preparing to sign off on a spending bill that will, once again, pour tens of billions of dollars into the ongoing war crime in Iraq. The exact figure is not yet known, because Bush's willing executioners among both parties have rigged up a complicated and deliberately deceitful process to shield the true nature of their craven kowtowing to the bloodstained, filth-encrusted White House autocrat.  (For more on the autocratic, lawless nature of the Bush Regime, see Jonathan Schwarz, Marcy Wheeler, and Scott Horton, and this as well.) Here's how the scam will work. First, House Democrats will offer up an initial lowball figure — "only" $30 billion or so — and claim, falsely, that the funds are intended for the war in Afghanistan and other Pentagon projects, even though "all sides in the deal recognize [that the money] could be shifted to fund the Iraq war," as the Po...

McClellan Blames Bush for CIA Leak Deceit
2007-11-21 08:33:00
msnbc: WASHINGTON - Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan blames President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for efforts to mislead the public about the role of White House aides in leaking the identity of a CIA operative. In an excerpt from his forthcoming book, McClellan recount the 2003 news conference in which he told reporters that aides Karl Rove and I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby were “not involved” in the leak involving operative Valerie Plame. “There was one problem. It was not true,” McClellan writes, according to a brief excerpt released Monday. “I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president’s chief of staff and the president himself.” | read more | similar articles:Between the Headlines: ‘Mind-Fucked’ into PatriotismFox News: A World Class JokeBush&rsqu...
Former Aide Blames Bush for Leak Deceit
2007-11-21 06:16:00
Scott McLellan is just the latest of a number of ex Bush confidants and aides that have gone public with stories of deceit and well, outright lies, coming from the highest levels of the Bush administration. In my opinion Valerie Plame and husband Joseph Wilson are just two more people suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome that will do and say anything to embarrass the administration. That does not mean I am defending the Bush administration. I believe that they could very well have leaked Plames identity in retribution for Joseph Wilsons claims of White House lies leading up to the invasion of Iraq. I think this is a case of both sides slinging a lot of mud at each other. Will the Bush administration lie to achieve its goals? You betcha! Will Wilson and Plame lie to reach their goals? You betcha! ~RJH  MyWay News article link Former Aide Blames Bush for Leak DeceitNov 20, 10:38 PM (ET)By MATT APUZZO WASHINGTON (AP) - Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan blames Pre...
