Why is truth essential?

Why is truth so essentially important in society. It does seem as though people create their own "truth". Mostly, this can be traced to selfish ambition for personal gain, or outright fraud. Without a good moral foundational system, people are going to lie. God gave us 10 basic Commandments the ninth one states:"You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. (Exodus 20:16 NIV). This moral code is most likely found in all mainstream religions and societies. Lying for personal gain usually means that someone else is going to have to pay the price. The liberal agenda always seems to take precedence over the truth. If we allow ourselves to be duped by anyone there is always a price to pay. The country is already paying a very high price for believing the horrible deception of "hope and change", put forth by the current administration before the last election. Observe, the national debt is at a record high,unemployment does not seem to be coming down, the housing market is still in the tank, gas prices are on the rise again. Mr. Obama has not offered any positive solutions. Instead, lies continue to be spewed from the current administration, bringing to unsuspecting Americans a false sense of security. The mainstream media is a willing accomplice in this hideous deception. They omit pertinent information proposed by the Republicans, as in the case of the Paul Ryan Medicare proposal. In an interview on I believe it was CBS, they conveniently cut the part from the interview where Congressman Ryan pointed out that his plan would not change any of the seniors coverage, 55 years or older. Those under 55 would then be given a choice of what to choose for their particular Medicare coverage. I then heard Mr. Obama proclaim that the Republican plan would raise the cost of Medicare, and then turn around and give the extra money to the wealthiest Americans. what a crock! I would like to list some other blatant lies by Mr.Obama; "the private sector is doing fine", "you didn't build that on your own", "our plan worked". I am not sure which plan he is referring to, but I am sure that nothing they have tried has worked for the betterment of all Americans.I recently saw an ad offered by the Obama regime that featured the most prolific liar of the Democratic propaganda machine, non-other than Bill Clinton. In a recent book called "The Amateur" the author relates that Mr. Clinton doesn't even like Pres. Obama or his current policies.Another statement I recently heard from Mr. Obama is "they don't really have a plan, and the plan they have doesn't work." Does that make any sense? Would this be considered a lie within a lie, or a double lie, or just plain nonsense.

Let's consider for a moment how God feels about lying. We have already seen how lying breaks the ninth commandment. The eighth Commandment states "thou shall not steal". I maintain that people who lie are definitely out to steal something. It does not always have to be monetary, one may be stealing someone's trust or a reputation may be usurped. It is plain to see that Mr. Obama, and all his cohorts have stolen all of our trust, and failed to keep any of his promises. Now, they are at the same process. They cannot run on their own merits, so they have to destroy all the wonderful plans designed to put this country back on the right track. God, does not think it's "all right" to lie and steal. The first transgression which transpired through lying and stealing, separating us from fellowship with God, could only be overcome by sending his only son to restore that which was lost. Don't forget that it was lies and trumped up charges that brought his son to the cross.
If you want to hear the truth do not listen to any liberal Democrats or any of the mainstream media, such is NBC, CBS, and ABC. If you want the truth and nothing but the truth listen to conservative talk radio, such as; Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. If you need countrywide and worldwide news, you can turn to Fox.
