Today's "WTF??? moment: Chris Kyle's mistake was that he didn't lie enough

Rick Perry blames President Barack Obama and “snakes” in the media for apparent discrepancies in “American Sniper” Chris Kyle’s military service record. The former Navy SEAL, who was known as the deadliest sniper in U.S. military history, apparently earned about half as many medals as he claimed in his book — despite warnings from at least one commanding officer about the inaccuracies. The Intercept reported on those inconsistencies last week, including quotes from several Navy SEALs and military officials — and Perry has joined a number of conservatives who have attacked the website but have been unable to prove the late Kyle’s claims…. “If there is any inaccuracy in Kyle’s account it’s that he didn’t take ENOUGH credit for his awards,” wrote Perry, the former Texas governor and failed Republican presidential candidate.

Should you ever find yourself struggling to define “moral bankruptcy,” you’d do well to consider Former Texas Governor Rick Perry, who’s making the argument with no sense of irony that Chris Kyle DIDN’T LIE ENOUGH.

In conventional Conservative mythology, the veracity of a story matters far less than the question of whether sheeple can be convinced that it’s the unvarnished truth. “Truth” is not about what actually is or was, not what someone actually said or did. It’s about what the American sheeple are willing to believe to be true. Belief CREATES truth. History? Well, that’s just so many confusing details.

Equally important to the creation of truth is the enforcement of the dominant narrative. When something becomes accepted as true, reliably patriotic Conservative Heroes of the Cause MUST rise up against heretics and those woolly-headed Liberals and other head-in-the-clouds losers addicted to “reality” and “history.”

Remember, history is written by the victors, and truth is whatever Conservatives require to serve and promulgate their agenda. Those who think otherwise must perforce dealt with firmly, lest doubt begin to creep in and cause the sheeple to doubt the dominant narrative.

Perry actually advocates for potentially unconstitutional behavior…as long as it serves the Conservative agenda. Because dishonesty in the service of the truth is no crime…and long as it’s Conservative “truth.”

“I am calling on people of conscience to join me in calling for the retraction and deletion of the offending article and reprimand of the Navy personnel who have fed this misperception with their lackadaisical handling of the original information request,” Perry said.

So Perry is calling for the persecution, perhaps even the prosecution, of those Navy personnel charging with safeguarding the accuracy of information regarding awards and citations? Yes, Virginia; that’s EXACTLY what he’s advocating. Because accuracy and veracity are of far less importance than maintaing the dominant narrative and ensuring the American sheeple believe the “right” version of the truth.

If that means violating the Constitution…well, to quote the Governor/Conservative Hero of the Cause © who preceded Perry (former President George W. Bush), the Constitution “is just a goddamned piece of paper.”

The former governor recognized that his demands potentially violated constitutional law, but waved away those concerns with some unsubstantiated claims.

“This request might seem odd from someone who is committed to the constitutional freedoms our military fights to defend, but freedom of speech and deliberate libel are two entirely different things,” Perry said.

Sure, what I’m advocating might seem to run counter to the Constitution, but…BARACK OBAMA!!! BENGHAZI!!! OBAMACARE!!! SHOW US THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!! KENYA!!! CLOSET MUSLIM!!! SECRET GAY LOVER!!! MICHELLE OBAMA IS A MAN!!! GUN GRABBER!!!

Could there be ANY doubt but that The Black Guy in the White House © is behind the sinister plot to besmirch the sainted reputation of Chris Kyle, A True American Hero ©? How dare he impugn the reputation of a (White) man whose name he’s not fit to mention?

“Perhaps it’s a byproduct of nearly eight years of an arch-liberal in the Oval Office combined with an American population increasingly disconnected from the men and women who serve in the military,” Perry said.

That’s right; if not for that Liberal, closeted gay Muslim hating on true patriots like Chris Kyle, America would be great again.

Of course, if Kyle had only thought to be MORE dishonest and puffed up his resume even more, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Perhaps if Kyle had been MORE dishonest, Perry wouldn’t have felt it necessary to once again prove that modern Conservatism values propaganda and invented history over facts, truth, and reality. As ANY good, God-fearing, red-blooded, America-loving, Conservative patriot knows, obsessing over truth is important only to losers and America-hating Liberals.

Pay no attention to the former Texas Governor behind the mirror….
