Rejecting Truth Is the First Step toward Murder
American Thinker ^ | 21 Sep, 2025 | Paul E. Scates

Even the most extreme behavior on the left is predictable.

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” ―George Orwell.

Two thousand years ago, a politician named Pilate, in a classic dodge to avoid responsibility, asked, “What is truth?” But he already knew the truth, for after questioning Jesus, he told the accusing crowd, “I find in him no fault at all” (John 18:38). Instead of acting on that truth, however, he rejected it, leaving Jesus’s fate to the mob. He then symbolically washed his hands of the affair, as if that made him innocent of Jesus’s blood.

Today, the radical left denies even the existence of truth, claiming that everything is a societal construct based on racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. Too consumed with ideological passion to recognize that if their claim were true (i.e., there is no truth), then their own claims and doctrine must also be false. But such is the nature of ideology, before which truth, reason, and contrary evidence must bow. They even go so far as to challenge their usually deified science, claiming that a male can become a female (or vice versa) by simply willing it to be so.

But Truth is not mocked, nor will it conform to ideological fantasies — except by coercion, or, as we’re seeing more and more often, by violence.

Truth is the foundation of a free society. Without universal acknowledgment and acceptance of truth, there is no way humans can live together peaceably. The Founders proclaimed such truths in the Declaration of Independence, declaring that all men are created equal and that each have God-given, inalienable rights over which other men and governments have no rightful authority. The first of those is the right to life.

The left is at war against truth and against God.

Some people will say and believe anything to justify what they want.

But they know the truth. An ex-friend of mine who, after drinking plenty of wine, will bawl uncontrollably over the abortions she's had.

Your Tagline is spot-on (as is mine). Abortion is a Konvenience Kill.
