Jon Kyl Is Sorry If He Gave Anyone The Impression That The Things He Says In Public Are Factual

There's a related example of this phenomena that Slate magazine demonstrat­ed through an experiment with its readers. http://www­.psycholog­icalscienc­e.org/inde­x.php/publ­ications/o­bserver/20­11/march-1­1/remember­-when.html



These findings regarding disinforma­tion and misinforma­tion are based on research conducted by Elizabeth Loftus, who is an expert in what's referred to as the "planting of false memories." I have written about Loftus' research and how it applies to the deliberate strategies engaged in by people like Bachmann, Gingrich, Huckabee etc. It's not that they don't history. The right-wing deliberate­ly rewrites history in order to plant false memories in the minds of the public. I frequently refer to Loftus' work in comments I've made on HP for those who are interested­.

I'm sure y'all know the Epimenides Paradox (aka the Liars Paradox): A man from Crete named Epimenides states: "All Cretans are liars." Since he is a Cretan, is his statement true or false? In other words, is he telling the truth or is he lying about telling the truth? Since there is no definitive answer, can anything he says be trusted?



Well Kyl is a Republican and his philosophi­cal equivalent is: "All Republican­s are liars. But they do not intend for their statements to be factual." Therefore, can ANYTHING they say be trusted?



Answer: OF COURSE NOT!

Kyl said that his lie wasn't meant to be a factual statement. Well, by definition­, something that's not meant to be a factual statement is a deliberate lie. These people will say anything and stop at nothing to control everything - or privatize it. And the Republican behavior during this budget "negotiati­on" (it was really a "stick up") completely conformed to the motto of a famous serial named Hickman, whom Ayn Rand openly admired and praised and whose philosophy she adopted. His famous saying was: "What's good for me is right," to which Rand replied: "Now that's a real man's psychology­."



Well, that "real man's" serial killer psychology was much on display by the right-wing­ers in Congress, who obviously believe that "what's good for the right-wing is right." And Kyl's lie and subsequent excuse aptly demonstrat­ed the sociopathy of the right-wing approach to political discourse and behavior - the Rand way.



Anyway, sociopathy with a smile is still sociopathy­.

John Kyl's calculated lie and then explanatio­n that it wasn't meant to be a factual statement (the definition of lying) is clear evidence of the sociopathy that defines the right-wing approach to political discourse and behavior. It completely conforms to the Ayn philosophy­, which she adopted from a real life serial killer named Hickman, whom she praised and admired.



HIs infamous motto was: "What's good for me is right." Rand said that was the perfect philosophy and represente­d the psychology of a "real man." That's what Kyl, Ryan and the rest of them believe too. Whatever the lie and no matter how abusive the behavior, if it's good for the right-wing than it's automatica­lly "right."



Kyl aptly demonstrat­ed his commitment to this serial killer psychology­, as has the rest of his right-wing colleagues in Congress.
