When Obama beat Romney, someone asked Harry Reid about his hilariously transparent lies about Romney's taxes on the Senate floor. Reid did not address the question as an honest man does. He replied, "It worked, didn't it?"

Lying works. It is powerful. This is a war. Not a Saturday afternoon Republic serial. We need all the weapons we can get.

Once my heritage is secured, by blood or alse, then I will worry about whether I can sleep at night after lying about the people who want me genocided.

(I won't, most likely.)

The reason someone like that needs to be destroyed is because he is a liar. How you win, how you fight, etc, vs why you should fight, why you should win, why the other side should lose.

If you do the exact same thing the other side does, the side that should lose, then you just joined the side that should lose.

Subterfuge in war and lying are not always the same thing. You trick your enemies, but you don't lie to your neighbors. One okay, one bad.

Not that him being on one side of the equation means that the other side, romney, was good. It was two bads in a fight.

@weknowwhygary @s2208 yeah and also
"Both of these Jew factions were literally just lying all the time. This somehow proves that telling the truth doesn't work"

even though basically all politics is prefaced on people becoming radicalized when they find out they have been lied to. Partisans never switch sides because they know the other side is lying about issue X.

If all the people who have attained power use lying as a central tool, does that suggest lying is optional, or necessary?

It's more complicated than, "they did this and it worked, so we can and must do it also."

Blackmailing politicians with child rape video works, apparently, so why don't we just do that?

If you can win without doing that, then I'm all for it.

I (try to) do the right thing because God commands it, not because I think it will benefit me. I trust that it ultimately will be to my benefit to do the right thing, but the ultimate motive is, "God said so."

I do the effective things, restricted to what is right, because that is prudent and sensible, and God has a lot of advice about doing smart stuff and not doing dumb stuff.

It's not right, nor is it prudent, to lie to the public about why they should join my side. Ignoring the moral issue, they will eventually figure out that they were lied to, and they will distrust any further appeals to join.

It's silly to me, though, because it isn't necessary. I have countless videos and screenshots of jews themselves saying everything I would need to convince a normal man that he has an enemy who hates him and wants him dead. No need to invent anything more.
