THE BIG LIE

It's high time those of us on the right stopped paying any attention to the crap coming out of the mouths of those on the left. This applies especially to Liar-In-Chief Obama. These people care nothing for truth. They've gone all-in on the Big Lie approach to politics because they know it works with the low/no information voters, of whom there are millions upon millions in the electorate.

I've always heard the Big Lie theory was developed by Joseph Goebbels when he was running propaganda for the Third Reich. It appears Herr Goebbels was not the evil genius behind the concept: it was his boss:

All this was inspired by the principle--which is quite true within itself--that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.
—Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X

If Hitler was correct, and I fear he was, there's no point running around calling out the Big Lies of the left. The low information morons have already been tainted and it won't work to try to convince them they've been duped. We need to tell our story in a way the dopes will understand it.

No, we should not resort to lying. We tell the truth as we see it and we keep telling it over and over and finally it might just start to sink in. We tell it simply and in a way even those who don't know shit from Shinola will understand.

Let's just not waste any more time running around trying to fight the Big Lie. They're gonna keep on lying no matter what we do or say, so fuck 'em. Let's tell our story loud and clear.
