In a controversial passage in Plato’s Republic, Socrates introduced the idea of the “noble lie” (“gennaios pseudos”).
A majestic fiction, he says, could sometimes serve society by persuading uninformed citizens of something good for them.

Democrats seem to believe that the truth is whatever they are saying at the time. steingar constantly berates us about "Trumps Lies," but never offers more than a bullshit claim that he says went sideways. he never actually offered a single instance of a President Trump lie. But just like the senile imposter, he constantly offers up democrat lies to support his lies.
Why is that?
Fauci said he misled the country about mask-wearing during the pandemic by claiming they were of little use. But he argued that he lied in order that the public not make a run on masks, deplete the supply, and thus rob medical professionals of protective equipment.
Fauci also claimed to have told “noble” lies about the likely percentage of the public needing to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. He kept raising the bar—from 60-70 percent to 75-80 percent, to 85 percent.
Apparently, Fauci feared a lower figure, even if accurate, might lull people into complacency about getting inoculated.
Fauci also lied about his own role in routing U.S. aid money to subsidize gain-of-function viral research at the Wuhan virology lab—the likely birthplace of COVID-19.
Either Fauci was hiding his own culpability or he believed the American people might not be able to fully accept that some of their own health officials were promoting the sort of research that was partially responsible for more than 700,000 American deaths.
Why does dr. quackenheimer fauci and the senile imposter in the white house think Americans are not entitled to the truth?
Former FBI directors Andrew McCabe and James Comey likely serially misled the nation. McCabe admittedly lied that he did not leak FBI information to the media.
James Comey on over 240 occasions while under oath in congressional cross examinations claimed he did not know or could not remember basic facts about his own role in promoting the Russian collusion hoax.
Apparently, Comey and McCabe believed that by being less than truthful, they might better emasculate Donald Trump. And that result would be beneficial to America.
Our former intelligence leaders may have been the most brazen liars. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper admittedly lied to Congress.
When caught in the untruth, Clapper reverted to the noble lie that he gave the least untruthful answer, apparently on the pretense that he did not wish to damage the reputation of an important intelligence agency.
Ditto John Brennan, the former head of the CIA. On two occasions he lied under oath about the agency’s monitoring of Senate staffers’ computers and the deaths of civilians caused by U.S. drone assassination missions along the Afghanistan border.
Why do democrats (communists) like mikey still pander these lies, after they have been debunked by the liars themselves?
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley lied for days about the details of an accidental drone strike that killed innocent women and children in Afghanistan.
Either Milley is now lying when he says he warned Joe Biden about the disasters to come in Afghanistan or Biden is lying when he denies hearing any such advice.
Many of the details of Milley’s conversations with authors Bob Woodward and Robert Costa as reported in their recent muckraking book were abjectly denied by Milley.
Why hasn't the senile imposter and his regime of criminals NOT properly responded to miley's bullshit lies and treason?
IRS functionary Lois Lerner never told the whole untruth about weaponizing the IRS.
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch spun an implausible yarn that she accidentally bumped into Bill Clinton on a tarmac in Phoenix and never discussed the then-current FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton.
Special counsel Robert Mueller told a whopper under oath, claiming to know almost nothing about the Steele dossier and the misadventures of Fusion GPS. Both were the two catalysts that prompted his entire investigation of “collusion” in the first place.
These liars should be in prison, but democrats (communists) hold them up as heroes, which says far more, and far more negatively, about democrats in general, than anything I could write.
The democrat (communist) party has descended into a rabid, woke, seething pit of lies, liars, and criminals. The senile imposter, president fuckwad is the perfect face of the party these days.
Ignorant, stupid, venal, egotistical, dishonest, treasonous and just plain pathetic.

There are three kinds of people. Those who try to control others, those who want to be controlled, and those who neither control others nor allow themselves to be controlled. Democrats are of the first two types: authoritarians and lemmings. I’m the third.
Oh, to answer your question, they lie to manipulate and control people, of course.

Yea but, yea but, yea but, Republicans “say” they want to save the life of a clump of cells, when they really just want to control women’s bodies.

Aren't we all just lumps of cells? If Democrats are asking to do away with murder, they should remember who owns most of the guns...

That's why I'm a libertarian, not a conservative. Traditionally, conservatives want to control personal behavior (who you can sleep with, what drugs to put in your body, etc.) so they fall into the first two categories also. It's just that they control in the personal, not fiscal, arena. This is why I didn't say "conservatives" are in the third category, I only said I am.
Abortion is a bit of a separate issue, because the fetus is a lifeform distinct from the mother. If it were not, I'd definitely be in the "my body my choice" camp. But if the fetus is human, you're not giving it any choice, therefore you are exerting control over it, therefore you aren't being a good libertarian. My position on that issue is unresolved. I feel life begins at conception and abortion is homicide but I also see the practical result of banning it (back alley abortions, higher number of unwanted children raised to be problem teenagers and young adults, increased poverty) but on the other hand I believe mankind is headed for a catastrophic population crash and birth control/abortion is one of the biggest causes, if not the biggest. It goes against nature to interfere with the whole biological/reproductive process. Men were meant to try to have as much sex as possible and women were meant to get pregnant every 3 or so years until menopause. I'm not sure it's a good thing that we've totally screwed up nature's design.
On the other other hand, modern technology has eliminated many early causes of death and extended our lifespans leading to population explosions. If not for birth control/abortion we might have had a catastrophic overpopulation spelling doom for the planet. (Indeed most people seem to believe we are still headed that way.) I guess that happens in nature too when ecological conditions allow runaway reproduction in a species in a certain locale. But in nature it seems to be self-correcting. Man is unique in that we've invaded the entire planet and our effect is more global than any other species that I can think of.
What other species systematically kills so many of its own young? Well don't answer that... there might be a lot. But if there are, they evolved over millions of years to do that. Man did not. We weren't meant to kill our young in the womb on any level, from the personal to the broad societal level. It's not natural and it's not right. But on the other hand neither are corrective lenses. I should have been eaten by a tiger when I was 12.
