Essay:Why Liberals Delight in Deceit

Few would doubt that many liberals delight in deceit. Deceit can advance liberal goals, such as gun control or energy control or health care control, but there seems to be delight in deceit for its own sake beyond any political purpose or financial gain. Why?
One explanation is that many liberals crave attention more than anything else. Deceit is a way to create and attract self-attention. The person perpetrating the deceit becomes more self-centered as a result, which he seeks, and even if he ultimately fails he will still gain more attention from others.
The truth attracts no attention to oneself. If anything, it increases the attention and focus on God, something many liberals oppose.
