Mendacity

Noun: untruthfulness

More on the above in a minute.

Yesterday’s post caused a few to not be happy. I am sorry for that, as it was not my intent. I was told by some that I am not being equally fair to both sides. From having a bee in their bonnet to having their panties in a wad to other things. I get the bee, I don’t get the panties.

I was awakened at 4 AM today. Normally this makes for a grumpy Doug, but this time I was thinking about yesterday’s post. I admit, I have the same feeling for Bush senior that I have for Obama. I also have the same feelings for Bush junior that I have for the Clintons. There isn’t much positivity in any of those feelings. I’m leaving Reagan out of it because most the ten readers have no idea who he is and Trump isn’t done yet. Besides he came in to just give us four more years to prepare, so if he is bad or good doesn’t much matter to me. It’s the preparation time that is important. How are we all doing with it?

Nevertheless, let me apologize for not giving time to the evil of both political parties.

As I was contemplating all of this and asking Him about it, I was told that, “The mendacity of all of them is atrocious.”

Wow, I thought, what a cool statement. I had no idea what part of it meant, but I knew He was serious, very serious.

“What,” I asked, “does mendacity mean?”

“Look it up,” He responded.

“Please use it in a sentence,” I asked.

“I just did,” He responded.

“Oh.”

“Go write it down,” He told me.

“But I’m tired,” I told Him.

“Go.”

I didn’t have any paper and pencil so I looked up the word on my phone and sent myself an email with the word in the subject line. Then I listened to Snuffer’s latest podcast from a few weeks ago called, “Whiplashed” or something like that. Good stuff, you might want to listen if you haven’t.

Let me rewrite the sentence the Lord Christ told me with the definitions in place of the words.

“The untruthfulness of all of them is horrifyingly wicked.”

Enough said. The Savior really lays it down. Snuffer kind of reminds me of Him in that regard.

Mendacity, what a great word. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ.

I am adding more definitions for mendacity:  two-timing, duplicity, perjury, untruth, falsehood, falsity, double-dealing, fraud, lying, deceit, dishonesty, deception and insincerity.  I think that about covers what the Savior feels about our politicians and leaders.
