Ignorance is Strength

I have been a supporter of the Center for Consumer Freedom since I first saw their ads in DC METRO trains. I was agog to see posters that so brazenly opposed the status quo on topics that the P.C. police routinely defend. Understandably, the open-minded, tolerant, diversity champions of the far left often expressed their frustration with the ads by ripping them to shreds. But the ads kept popping back up, taking jabs at groups like PETA, frivolous lawyers and panic pushers.

It seems that every time a new study is released about a food or chemical that may or may not increase your risk of this, that or anything else, the Center for Consumer Freedom is the only organization that follows up on the proclamations of pending doom. Countless times, the claims have been proven to be inflated, wrong or flat out fabricated to serve a special interest...

This is so true: "The problem is people, especially journalists, brushing aside facts as if they are getting in the way of the cause. If you are a journalist, you are not supposed to have a cause. Journalists are supposed to report facts. If those facts unravel over time, journalists are supposed to report the unraveling. You can't attack an organization for revealing the truth, despite their affiliations, only because you think the lie would better serve the cause."
