What are these lies? If lies exist, then where is this list of lies? Adults who are adults must see facts long before making any conclusion. That list is easily posted with details for each - if lies are so egregious. Wacko extremists never provide ta list with supporting facts. Too much knowledge for their target audience - adults who are still children. Adults whose eyes glaze over with details.

We see a government in total grid lock due to a minority of people such as Ted Cruz style congressmen and people such as Rush who said, "We want America to fail." Since failure empowers extremists at the expense of moderates. Power comes from people told to know an apocalypse is coming.

Where is this coming apocalypse. It almost happened when extremist even sexed up facts to waste almost $3 trillion in Iraq. How did we avert a Great Depression with 40% unemployment? Wackos in the George Jr administration were silenced by moderates (ie Paulson) in that administration. Our economy was literally hours away from financial seizure. An apocalypse averted because moderates replaced extremists - who even tried to put Social Security into stock markets.

Why paint all with a broad brush when people such as Trump get power by only preaching the same apocalyptic message to the naive. Problems exist. But things are getting better. We are still undoing intentional lies and damage by the George Jr administration. Why is your internet and phone so much more than elsewhere in the world? Why are drugs intentionally 40% more expensive than in Canada? These were intentionally created by extremists. We have not yet undone all their damage. Meanwhile America continues to recover from wackos who even sexed up facts to invent Saddam's WMDs.

Numerous problems must be addressed. That is life. How many mocked Obama for addressing a nationwide problem demonstrated by Henry Luce Gates. A white cop arrested a black professor for trying to break into his own house. A problem even observed in the Cellar when some literally denied that problem existed. Extremists even blamed Prof Gates for his own arrest. A serious problem is not a white cop arresting a black professor. So many who just knew it must not be true because they feel it is not true. That is the problem. People who know without first learning.

Extremists should be mocked for 'knowing' only because they heard it on the internet; therefore it must be true. Adults who act like adults first learn facts before knowing anything. A post is wasted bandwidth if it does not list those lies. An adult says the list does not exist. So those lies are mythical.

Where is this apocalypse that so many tell me. In every case, they get emotional or angry when I ask for details. Ironically, everyone is a strong Donald Trump supporter. They need not learn facts before knowing what is truth. Then lies (and not reality) easily become their truth.
