." The kind of fraud which consists in daring
to proclaim the truth while mixing it with
a large share of lies that falsify it, is more
widespread than is generally thought. "
-- Marcel Proust { 1871-1922 } French Novelist
The passage was meant to show what fools people are.
Depends on whether you ask a conservative or a leftist vermin.

Define "fraud".
Define "truth".
Define "lies".
Define "falsify"

." Although fraud in all other actions be odious,yet in matters
of war it is laudable and glorious,and he who overcomes his
enemies by strategem is as much to be praised as he who
overcomes them by force. "
-- Machiavelli
Who also is quoted as saying :
" Politics has no relations to morals. "
Near remarkable that comment.Because that is precisely how.
You and I might have read Machiavelli, but I doubt if any of the leftists here have. The words have too many syllables.
I recently saw a very interesting program on EWTN (the Catholic TV network). The program was called "Saints vs Scoundrels", and the particular episode was "St. Francis of Assisi vs Machiavelli".
Very interesting. It's a great show and I catch it every time I can.
But I agree with the quote.

Morality CANNOT be merely defined to accomodate any PliticalIf you're a conservative, then by definition, anything TheParty says is true, so repeating it can't be a lie. Quite the contrary, repeating what TheParty says is good and BlessedByGod, again by definition.
If you're a liberal, then there is an absolute truth, and telling a lie is wrong. That holds true regardless of whether the lie hurts or helps their cause.
Those of relative morality, the conservatives, will always hate and despise those of absolute morality, the liberals. The shining purity of liberal absolute morality causes physical pain to conservative moral relativists, much like sunlike burning a vampire. That causes the conservative moral relativists to lash out in pain and rage at the morally pure liberals.
Now, watch it happen here.
