Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsSorry I have to explain a visual cartoon
Two pop-up stands with a man sitting behind each. One has a long line, the other no line.
One stand had an overhead sign that was titled, "Comforting Lies."
The other stand had a sign titled, "Unpleasant Truths."
Don't need a visual to see which stand had no one in it.

Shermann
(7,423 posts)4. There is an art form to that
Expect to be pettifogged with cherry-picked details from the Constitution when debating a conservative.
You know you have them against the ropes when they ditch the Constitution and start quoting the Federalist papers.

ask if those are the ones recommended by Cheech and Chong.

that one would give "comforting lies" some big competition.
