Lying, Rug-Style

Stolen via a Lawyers, Gubs & Money commenter, this Rick Perlstein item (from The Baffler) is just about worth* the effort. Our in-box is clogged w/ the same ol' crapola (The Mark Skousen one described was a recent visitor.) & we see the ads for free electricity, running your car on water, &c. on the rare occasions when we look out of our cocoon & visit NewsMax or any of its peers. Currently playing:
One hand washes the other.
There you have it. People who believe in secret joint replacement miracles also believe absurd conspiracy theories & support fiscal conservatism.

Unmentioned are the Utah-based nutritional supplement companies, which serve as a clear example of Galtian super-beings resisting socialism or something. This is what they mean when they scream that "Liberty & Freedom" are threatened by Big Bad Government.

The bigger theme is that blatant lying or total disregard for the truth or what. Ever. Is now part of the conservative/reactionary identity. And is a requirement for office-seeking.
*Good enough it wasn't worth our time to excerpt any of it.

    Not knowing what the high-blood-pressure solution is will give me a heart attack.

    Doctor Editor:
    Probably just eating bland, non-greasy food & exercising, either of which would give us a heart attack anyway.
