If our government lies (more often than they are honest), why does anybody join the armed forces and die abroad for a lie?

If both the dems and reps lie all the time, why dont people vote for the libertarian party, or another?

Its easy for you to complain, why dont you vote for a diffrernt party?

I think the public accepts the lies because the public is inept.

The gov't is only a reflection of us. So asking "Does the gov't lie?" is a false question.

The real question is why we don't care so much to hear the truth of things.

In America, the public is treated like children, but moreover, they behave like children, so it's a vicious cycle.

The public in America elects their representatives, and then most people just go away and tuck their heads neatly up their asses for 4 years, and then every 4 years people are SHOCKED! SHOCKED! by all the bamboozling that goes on from the gov't to it's people.

I don't really know what the guy's conclusions really are in the OP. Is he saying that American authorities are complicit in purposefully letting a known terrorist who is on our watch list to board the plane with a bomb?

Or is he trying to say that US officials are comfortable hiding the truth?

I vote for the second question.

The gov't is much more comfortable at hiding the truth. Or spinning it, the way they constantly do when they try to make us believe that terrorists are trying to get us in the west because, you know, we're free and women go to work, and we have McDonald's and Coors Light.

They try to make us believe that they're out to get us because of jealousy, when in reality their grievances have everything to do with our support of Israel, and then with all the warmongering we promote all over the Middle East, propping up dictators who are oppressive, or messing around in a couple different countries with trying to install democracies without ever teaching these people how a democracy actually works.

We've been sending drones over Yemen and supporting that dictator, messing around in yet another country we don't understand, and then the xmas bombing happened in retaliation of that.

So yeah, the US gov't lies for sure, but the public is just too stupid to ask their own questions or to look at what's really going on over there; they just believe everything Big Brother says, despite the complaints about Big Brother all the time.
