Liberals Will Always Lie

Posted on November 17, 2013 by

Lately, Americans have endured a steady and tiresome stream of lies from the Obama administration:  lies about IRS targeting conservative groups, NSA surveillance practices, and the cause of the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, including the American ambassador to Libya.

The blog, which is well regarded within the media, claims to contemplate “healthcare with a focus on re-search,” and because it’s “evidence-based,” … Continue reading →
