Well....he's not a liar, per se, but he's awfully hypocritical.  He 
tells Harry that you can tell a wizard by the way he treats his 
inferiors, but then he goes and abuses Kreacher.  He obviously has a 
great amount of contempt for his brother - not because the boy was a 
Death Eater, but because he was "soft enough" to fall in with a crowd 
that Sirius did not approve of.  

And he tells Peter that as a friend, he would have died for him, 
although 12 years previously, he refused to be Secret Keeper and thus 
gave up the chance to die for James.

So Sirius isn't a liar, but I still would take anything he tells me 
with a hefty grain of salt.

My reply:  You are twisting everything to make it a lot worst than it really was.  Kreacher hated Sirius, he gave Siruis a great  deal of  abuse I believe this was abuse that was learned from his original owners:  Sirius' parents.  I mean when they didn't respect Sirius why should Kreacher.  And Kreacher stood for everything that he hated in the world.  I'm sorry I just think that is poor logic.  
 
And as for dying for James, he did that only because of protection.  He thought that the death eaters were unto him.  It wasn't out of self-protection as much as it was out of protection of Lily and James.  And really if he had died, if they all had died who would have taken care of Harry.  I know this isn't how it played out but that was the logic at the time.
