I've used the term "lieberal" occasionally to identify the tactics that politicians use to disinform the american people. And I've used it quite a bit since Obama has been in office because I think he epitomizes what a lieberal truly is.
Many of us have seen instances when someone simply lies because they want to divert blame from themselves even though they ARE to blame. It happens on the school yard, in the board meeting, the dinner table all the time, but it should not be condoned.
The way I use the term "lieberal" has been misunderstood imo. So here is what the term means - at least how it is used. A lieberal can be any politician (left or right) who habitually deceives the public. They are experts in the art of deceptive speech. IMO all politicians have at some point used this, shall we say, tactic to convince the uninformed that their pov has merit.
The degree at which lieberals lie is what I've been concerned with. Lying isn't just a Nixon coverup or a Clinton perjured "mispeak" under oath, its a culture of "bate and switch", coverup and "untransparency". The lieberals know they lie, but are so corrupt, it simply doesn't matter to them. Lying is an art of sorts, but it is a way of taking advantage of the uninformed and disinformed. But why do politicians do this? Well, its self preservation in the world of politics. Because politics is a mine field of people who want to catch them in a gaff or weak moment and every recorded misspeak will be played over and over for the rest of their adult lives - they basically lie their butt off.
But what I look for is a politician from either party who lies the least and someone who is less interested in being reelected than truly serving and I have someone who I think is that person. A true american political hero who IMO has strived to tell the truth every single time and someone who should be the model - and he's from right here in this state - Tom Coburn. Mr Coburn IMO has been a true servant of the people of the state and nation, has always tried to shoot straight with us and had our long term best interests at heart. We need more like him. But his days are numbered and I fear the senate will be much worse off when he retires from politics. I hope whoever his replacement is - and it looks like it'll be Lankford will use Mr Coburn as a model.
For those who care, I'd like to include what wikipedia defines as a liar. All liars use these tactics to deceive and to disinform the listener. But politicians have the power and the skill to do the most harm. DC is full of them and they have trillions of dollars to give their lies importance.
So when I use the term lieberal, it isn't onesided, its a way of identifying crooked politicans - liberal, conservative, republican, democrat.
