It is literally one of the hardest things to comprehend … someone will knowingly LIE right to your face.
It is nearly impossible for good people to wrap their mind around the fact, especially when the lies are coming from people you see around town (or at Church on Sunday) … or are your elected officials.
But it is a FACT … a provable FACT if you want to take the time to “test” the theory yourself.
We are bringing it up again because we have seen it more than a few times this past week as folks have been calling around asking their SC House Reps about “real” School Choice and S 285. We have gotten reports of some interesting statements and some wild goose chases some legislators have sent they constituents on related to “real” School Choice and S 285.
Our recommendation … KEEP DIGGING!!!
Overused … but real
Yes, we know “Narcissist” is an overused term … you can’t go a day without seeing people accuse other people of being “narcissist” … especially in politics. We don’t accuse specific people of being narcissist or psychopaths … we are not doctors and certainly can’t diagnose others … but we did find it interesting that the ability to “lie to your face without a second thought” is part of the definition.
This is not a novel concept that people will lie to your face … it exist … so be aware and don’t me misled. Keep digging until you get to the TRUTH.
What does the BIBLE say?
Pretty simple … it is actually on of the BIG 10 … #9 in the Ten Commandments. And verses about lying & deceit are throughout the Bible … like A LOT of them!!!
It is not one we would want to test or play around with. It is so much easier to simply tell the truth. But for others, they can’t get ahead without lying, or at least they don’t think they can.
Plus … a healthy fear of God seems to be lacking in some, no matter what they say on Sunday or how many Bible verses they can quote.
Know that it is not about quoting the Bible … it is about following the Bible and its teachings. There is a difference.
9. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” – Exodus 20:16

Stephen King Gets It!
And if the clinical definitions and direction from the BIBLE don’t convince you lying and deceit are a serious problem in humans … take it from the master of macabre himself, Stephen King (HERE).
We use the example all the time that we all knew that kid in elementary school that liked to “pull the wings off flies” … or set things on fire!!! He (or she) were a little off and your parents did not want you playing with them after school. Remember that kid?
Well those kids grew up … and as Mr. King says … “they don’t get better, they just get smarter” … and thus justify (or hide) it better.
Test It Yourself!!!
Don’t be overly negative … as hard as it may seem sometime … just be AWARE!!! Folks do lie … especially in politics.
TrustNOONE!
VerifyEVERYTHING!
Test it yourself … with your elected official or other political types. If they tell you something that seems a little off … especially if it is about another person … DIG DEEPER … challenge them on it … figure out the truth. Talk to the other party. Figure out if you are being lied to. We encourage you to challenge us all the time … if you don’t understand, JUST ASK!!! No one should be offended if you ask for an explanation or more details (from both sides).
We did, we tested what we were being told by politicians, and it changed our entire perspective on politics. You may not like what you find … but if you want to Save America & Save South Carolina, you are not going to be able to help do so unless you understand the basic concept that PEOPLE LIE.
Yes, ignorance is bliss … but we are in this mess for a reason and we won’t get out ignoring the realities of life.
NeverSURRENDER!
