In other words, anything said by any Republican seeking nomination these days.  -- L. Hanson, Edmonton, Canada      2 11
The greatest lie out there is our money and tax system...subscribed to and endorsed by both sides of the aisle. They're ALL liars and the worst ones are those who "pretend" to represent us. Restore the Republic and Abolish the Fed.  -- J Carlton, Calgary      11 1

If almost anything is said often enough, it becomes a "fact" even when it's absurd. Like someone said, " It ain't what we don't know that causes all the trouble, it's what we do know that ain't so".  -- jim k, Austin, Tx      6
excellent!!  -- Irene3n2, Midlothian, VA      3
A radical is someone who speaks the truth. Look, people can be conditioned to believe anything -- why do you think churches and governments try so hard to 'educate' people? To create as many fearful and obedient serfs as they can. It is the oldest trick in the book. Humans may have the potential for genius, however, most are little more than beasts of burden with no more determination to be free than a cow. And the ruling classes have known this for eons.  -- E Archer, NYC      9
Anything out of a Democrat mouth since Woodrow Wilson. The true recipe for fascism.  -- Warren, olathe      6 1
Time for WE THE PEOPLE to REMOVE THEM AT ALL COSTS!!!  -- shotgunsusie, Covington La      3
The problem is not the republicans or the democrats, the problem is the banksters, the power brokers, the war industry and all of those who care not about everyday people, but only ultimately for themselves and power over others! And the quote is about THEM!  -- Aliens, Elgin, IL      5
Interesting quote. What is the source of this quote? Where can it be found?  -- Tim, Atlanta
I can find nothing to document the source of this quotation. It sounds great, and I wish I had said it! :-) Theoretically, "Dresden James" is one Donald James Wheal, who wrote under several pseudonyms, including: Thomas Dresden and James Barwick. The quote above is cited many places, but it's source is not. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/jul/24/television.television Cheerio!  -- Elizabeth, Lawrenceville GA
I would apply this to religion. Any religion.  -- Kevin, Norcross, GA      5
It's exactly for us....the VEGAN....269....wake up...  -- Monica, Italy
So from so called raving lunatic to another what shall we do about this mess we are all now experiencing? I for one am running out of steam so lets do our best to unite and continue to clean the house before our houses become nothing more than a FEMA camp!  -- Freedom, The Universe      2

Under the guise of "climate engineering" we are being sprayed worldwide with toxic chemicals. Would HUMANS do this to HUMANS??? I think we should DNA check anyone who would think to hold public office as part of the vetting process. The results of that DNA test should then be a matter of public record.  -- Peggy, Prescott, AZ.      2
How can you take them on if they take your guns like they have done in every other country in the world.  -- nobbert, dublin      3 1
Peggy, who is your dealer, does he have some kind of old school landrace sativa? Chem-trails really? I don't think my tin foil hat will repel them. I may need your help interpreting the DNA results I just found out I am missing a chromosome. I don't know where it went. The web-o-lies works both ways people, do your own research.  -- Red, Iron City
Phineas Barnum (the circus one) said people like to be fooled. If they didn't, they'd do something about the lies of politicians and banksters. Wouldn't they? Well, apparently not. Not so far, anyway. I'm not holding my breath.  -- Gregory James, Brisbane AUS      3

The biggest lie sold to the American people is the Consitution or the Con-job. "We the People" is not the common people. It reads "We the People of the United States". The united is the corporation or gov't. Notice that the "P" is capitalized making it a proper noun. There is a lot of fraud in this. I used to believe in santa claus too.  -- bill derberg, podunk, ma      2 2
So true and it's not just politicians - scientists do the same. E=mc2 is an equation Einstein pulled out of his backside. And time passing more slowly, as part of theory of relativity, it sounds preposterous and it really is preposterous. They now say pluto is not a planet. Maybe that's because it never existed at all. Which leads some doubt onto neptune and uranus which were "discovered" well after the telescope was invented.  -- Alessandra liverani, Sydney      1 2
Ha ha ha. You Right Wing folks play the victim well while you are victimizing millions of working class people.  -- william mcpeak, Seattle      5
The best quote of all times!  -- Katarina Katkovsky      1
Ive never read anything about this guy, im just amused someone has the same name as me. My name is Dresden James Nutter, never thought anyone else had the name Dresden, let alone Dresden James  -- Dresden J Nutter, St Augustine, FL, USA
Radicals also lie like all the rest.  Just look at last year and the Streets of this Country, that whole uprising and Billions in damages to innocent People, owners of very small businesses,  who had nothing to do with any of it.  IT was All  based on a LIE pushed by Radicals [Self declared Trained Marxists]  -- Joshua, Tacoma WA      1
william, be specific, please don't just prove the quote's accuracy with a simple Marxist sound bite — give us something tangible we can relate to.  -- Mike, Norwalk
A simple example of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land’s ecclesiastical seminaries (government schools), dogma propagandists (MSM) and sacerdotal priests / priestesses (government officiates) proves the quote’s accuracy. The statist theocracy’s well packaged web of lies has gradually transformed the masses in to a generation who find the truth to be utterly preposterous and, those speaking the truth, raving lunatics. No longer spoken is: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Aug. 28, 1963) “Our world is not divided by race, color, gender, or religion. Our world is divided into wise people and fools. And fools divide themselves by race, color, gender, or religion.” (Nelson Mandela)  -- Mike, Norwalk      1
