The Truth always comes out. Always. Your only choice is how it comes out...with your cooperation, or without your cooperation. Trying to keep the Truth hidden is like trying to keep an unbreakable beach ball underwater indefinitely. If you're a stronger swimmer than others, you may get it down farther and keep it down longer than some. But eventually, you will get tired, and POP! up comes up the ball. For those on the side of Truth, this is a very comforting fact.
But for those who are in the habit of trying to keep the Truth hidden, it is a source of great terror. That is why they have to go to such great lengths and expend tremendous energy to keep the lie going. The old saying is true: "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." The Truth is simple; it's not easy, but it is simple. There is only one version of Truth. Lying is very complicated, because you constantly have to keep track of which version you told to whom.
In John 14:6, Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth, the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me." As a follower of Jesus, I know that Truth will ultimately win out, because Jesus already won at the cross. It is my responsibility to proclaim the Truth in love, and pray that people receive it. But it is not my responsibility what people choose to do with the Truth they hear. I do not have to be anxious if, for a time, deception and lies seem to have the upper hand. Because ultimately, Jesus will make all things right.
Right now, there are those in Washington who are party to a deception of incredible magnitude. They have preyed on people's fears and sympathies to foist an unconstitutional healthcare bill upon us. They have manipulated numbers in either direction as it suits them, to either exaggerate the numbers who are without insurance, or play down the true cost of this behemoth that will sell future generations into financial slavery on an unprecedented scale.
The biggest lie of all is that Obamacare does not allow federal dollars to be used to fund abortions. The lie that somehow an Executive Order from a President who has one of the most radical pro-abortion records in history will somehow insure this would be laughable if it were not so tragic. All the more so because this is from the lips of a man who would slaughter his own grandchildren so that his daughters would not be "burdened" by a child.
The Truth is that while our healthcare system definitely has room for improvement, it is still the best in the world. The United States is not a democracy. We are a democratic republic, governed by the rule of law. We need to work within the framework of our Constitution to bring about the necessary changes, and hold accountable at the ballot box those who would try to do an end-run around it.
