National Lie Month!

It’s National Lie Month again! National Lie Month is not like the other National awareness months in that it runs from Thanksgiving to Christmas rather than a regular full month. It was created to celebrate the tradition, institutionalization and long history of lying in America going all the way back to the Pilgrims and then some. National Lie Month is especially significant this year as lying has become an institution at our highest office.

National Lie Month begins with Thanksgiving as just about every adult eventually realizes that the story of the Pilgrims they were taught in Public school is a complete misrepresentation of how the Native American Indians were treated. In fact according to the 1637 proclamation of Massachusetts Bay Governor John Winthrop “days of Thanksgiving would be kept in all the churches for their victories” following successful massacres of the Native American Indians until they were largely exterminated and the rest were left to assimilate into white society or die off on reservations.

And it could not be more in keeping with our long tradition of lying that we now have a president that personifies pathological lying and an enabling complicit Republican Senate that wants to pass a tax plan veiled in lies by Thanksgiving.

Happy National Lie Month and enjoy Thanks-taking!
