Lying Lester's Deep Thoughts & Stuff #2

The reason for this post today is that I must comment that I, Lying Lester, have, from time to time been quilty of cherry-picking data to validate my viewpoint, revising history to validate my subjective agenda, and demonstrating a knee-jerk intolerance for any difference of opinion.

Most notably I am quilty of the use of derogatory descriptive adjectives like POS, "asshat", "devious" and many others. I guess you have to take the good with the not so good. We've all been quilty at one time or another I suspect.

I must also admit that Lying Lester is quilty of these transgressions more than the average person. Far more. I tend to not extend the benefit of the doubt to people. I believe most are basically dishonest like myself. How someone interprets information will shape their conclusions. Misrepresenting information is often due to this, although, this usually does not apply to any incorrect information disseminated by yours truly. They don't call me Lying Lester for no reason.

Everyone has an agenda and the human tendency is to frame it in the best light, or even to outright lie, as I often do. As to politics and governing, neither conservatives, pRogressives, rEpublicans or dEmocrats are immune from the temptation to spin the information to best suit their agenda. I have come to accept it simply is what it is and efforts to change it are, in the end futile.

Hopefully more of us have active inquisitive minds and don't just dismiss everything we prefer not to consider because it doesn't fit old paradigms or simply makes us uncomfortable.

What I'm saying is that I'm hopeful that people out there in Blogostan will take me at my word and continue to buy my bullshit. I'm VERY hopeful, in fact, that Lying Lester will NEVER be called out on his lies by his so-called fRiends (people who Lying Lester actually considers dupes he has masterfully tricked). :)

  2. WTF are you talking about Schmuckelford? "rAtional" nAtion uSA (the spoof blog you refer to) is doing just fine. My last post was just cut and pasted Voltaire quotes with absolutely no commentary from me, and that got 12 replies! The fools will obviously continue to comment on absolutely anything I put up! So, "life support"? I think not Shackelturd. But thank you for your concern.

  4. BTW - in reference to the cut and paste Voltaire "commentary" on RNUSA... I did a REAL post on Voltaire here on LLIN. A real post that included actual commentary from yours truly. Please see here if interested. Granted, much of what I write here on LLIN is over the heads of most people. That is why my dumbed-down approach works so well on RNUSA (and that site, despite being the spoof, gets so many more comments).
