Lies and More Lies

I put forth the premise that if someone lies about something minor to garner favor with others then they will lie about major issues to protect themselves.  Credibility is earned by demonstrating a willingness to be truthful.  Credibility is lost when a person is caught in lies.

Credibility, character and integrity are not relative; they are stand-alone traits.  In other words a person is to be judged by their actions alone and not in comparison to the actions of others. The bad actions of another in no way mitigate or justify a person's own bad actions. Good people do good things especially when others around them are not.

A person who is credible should be given the benefit of the doubt when questioning what they say.  A person who has been caught in a lie is not credible and always should be assumed to be lying.

Hillary Clinton has lied based on statements she have made in the past that have been proven false.  It is a fact she has lied about all her grandparents being immigrants.  It is a fact that she lied about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia.  It is a fact that she lied about her daughter jogging around the World Trade Center on 9/11. And, one of my favorite lies is when she lied about being broke when she and Bill left the White House.

Yes, these were small lies, but lies nonetheless.  It is troubling that she lied, but even more so because there was no reason to lie.  She lied because, like the rattlesnake that bites you, it is what they do.  

So, when the Benghazi victim’s families tell us that Clinton told them the attack was because of an offensive video and Clinton says they are lying, who should we believe?  The families have no reason to lie and Clinton does; and of course, we know she lies even when there isn’t a reason to lie.

When Clinton says she didn’t have any classified information on her server, that it was just used for personal communication, are we to believe her?  Not if the premise I stated at the beginning is true and I believe it to be true. 

When Clinton says she supports women and especially rape victims are we to believe her in light of the fact that Paula Broaddrick has stated in an interview with Aaron Klein, Breitbart News, referring to Hillary Clinton and the alleged rape of her by Bill Clinton, “I thought, that’s the most disgusting thing.  She tried to silence me.” 

You decide if Clinton is a serial liar not to be trusted, but let logic lead you to the truth.  In the end, you may still want to vote for Hillary Clinton for president, but at least be honest and admit she has lied to the American people and will continue to lie to you.
