Pack of Lies is a collection of 40 arguments, divided into four volumes and released in digital book format for instant access and ease-of-use. Each one of the 40 chapters takes on one of the 40 most destructive conservative lies in America today, and then systematically deconstructs it, contrasts it with reality, and presents effective arguments that shoot it down. In this way, Pack of Lies not only exposes the over-arching conservative deception, but it undermines and obliterates it through painstaking refutation, issue-by-issue, lie-by-big-conservative-lie.To make it useful for political junkies and casual readers alike, each chapter of Pack of Lies can stand on its own, allowing the reader to refer any lie, any issue, or any volume that he/she needs immediately, making it a handy reference on a smartphone or tablet for quick, effective rebuttals to common misperceptions.
In this volume:
VOLUME 1 LIE #1—THE US IS A CENTER RIGHT NATION
LIE #2—THE GOP IS THE PARTY OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
LIE #3—CUTTING TAXES INCREASES REVENUE
LIE #4—HALF OF AMERICANS DON’T PAY TAXES
LIE #5—YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE WASTED BY GOVERNMENT
LIE #6—SOCIAL SECURITY IS ON THE VERGE OF BANKRUPTCY
LIE #7—CHINA OWNS MOST OF THE U.S. DEBT
LIE #8—GUN CONTROL LAWS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL
LIE #9—ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS INCREASE CRIME RATE
LIE #10—DEATH PENALTY DETERS VIOLENT CRIME
The book can also be read end-to-end to provide depth and context to the strongest arguments and premises against conservative propaganda. Today’s Conservatism is based on a variety of demonstrable falsehoods—lies that the GOP has cowed tens of millions of Americans into believing and accepting. Astonishingly, millions of Americans—including some of the most influential people in the political and media establishment—have come to accept these lies as conventional wisdom. Some are sincere delusions, such as the notion that “cutting taxes will raise revenues.” Others, however, are cynical ruses used to alarm or confuse the public during elections, like the canard that “China owns most of America’s debt” (when, in fact, it owns a small 7.5%). Yet many people, even on the Democratic side, accept these premises as truth. And why? Effective Republican propaganda and Ineffective Democratic arguments. But now help is on the way.

Read This Book, Then Vote. The arguments are crystal clear, JP Bernbach should be “Explainer-in-Chief”. In this election season when many Republicans have bought into a kind a alternate reality, Bernbach’s keen commentary on the outright lies that the Conservative Media machine has attempted to bully the American public into believing. Like Bill Clinton’s grand speech at the 2012 DNC convention, the author debunks the entire Conservative agenda– plus it is entertaining. Looking forward to reading Vol 2,3,4.
Where are volumes 3 and 4? Volume one has an index showing the contents of 4 volumes, but only volumes 1 and 2 are available. Where are the other two volumes? Volumes 1 and 2 present concise, but not very detailed, arguments against prevailing Republican orthodoxy. The facts are correct but it will require further investigation for detailed analysis. It is very good for a quick overview of some of these crazy theories of the right-wing extremists.
Found One I found one item that I had never seen anywhere ever before. He clarified the national debt. You will find that the mainstream sources will say this. They say that 40% of our foreign held national debt is held by the Chinese. The next time it is said in the mainstream media they leave out “foreign held”. It becomes 40% of our national debt is owed to the Chinese. Is this intentional?He clears up a clever lie. The grand total of our national debt held by the Chinese is 7.3% of our total national debt. Actually, slightly less than 3/4ths of our national debt is owed to ourselves. At this point my respect for our author went up. He taught me something. I’m hard to teach.Most of the rest of what he was telling was not news. I did find as I read through his understanding was clear and accurate. At times his clarity helped polish up an older understanding. I’m ready for another consignment.
