"When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations,
the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic."

Well, we, the people, were labeled from the libs, as "tin foil hats" well, folks, wear those tin foil hats proudly, for now, it has been PROOOVED beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we were, and are right. So, pass out those tin hats, and put um on the ones who drank the coolaide, those who voted for obama, to proove they were not raciasts, PLEASE this time, vote for the right guy, to proove your not an idiot. obama must go, he is destroying this country, and we all see it, the cats outa the bag. No room for old men, time for the brave. Nothing ta fear, but fear itself. Thanks sam we will check it out.

In other words, anything said by any Republican seeking nomination these days.
 -- L. Hanson, Edmonton, Canada
 
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.

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".

excellent!!

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.

Anything out of a Democrat mouth since Woodrow Wilson. The true recipe for fascism.

Time for WE THE PEOPLE to REMOVE THEM AT ALL COSTS!!!
 -- shotgunsusie, Covington La
 
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
 
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!

I would apply this to religion. Any religion.
