We have a president who is almost solely the creature of a partisan pseudo-science, which views truth as an odd waste product. Has Obama ever seriously searched for truth? His lifelong chums are a gaggle of pseudo-thinkers and strong-arm operatives who float through college into jobs unconnected with honor. He reads us his soul off a teleprompter whose digitized letters conform to polling data. [...]
The greatest danger to our wealth, our liberties, our values, and our safety today comes from the deconstruction of truth. We live in a world driven by information. Almost all real wealth today is based upon information and knowledge. Almost all real power today is based upon mass communication, education, and entertainment. Even military power relies upon data and intelligence, not brute force.

The Idiot wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped him between his jug ears.
The liberal mantra has always been, don’t worry, it is some elses fault. They will cover up their mistakes and balme others.
That seems to sum up the liberal world view.
A very large number of liberals I knew in Los Angeles always said "I'd rather win than be right." Steve Jobs of Apple said it, too, if rumors are correct.
They were serious and it explains a lot of their behavior and bizarre decision making.
One of the most powerful speeches of the 20th Century.
Great article, but why didn't you post a link directly to The American Thinker? Just curious...
That "all men are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights" remains the only such understanding which, when recognized and respected, provides maximum liberty for individuals in a society.
The problems we face now are consequences of our nation's departure from those ideas. The counterfeit ideas embraced by those who wish to impose a "government over people" philosophy, with the resulting enlargement of the powers of government over people's lives is a recipe for tyranny and oppression for future generations.
Now is the time for truth, not error!
What arrogance exists in the small minds of these pseudointellectuals who have never studied nor embraced the great ideas upon which their nation was founded.
“The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.” Ayn Rand
They'd self-terminate in less than a year.
If we, the productive, stop agreeing to feed them from our efforts via redistributive taxation and welfare, they will cease to exist through sheer natural entropy and evolutionary stresses.
Mr. Harvard Law informed me that our rights come from government, that Natural Law and our unalienable rights were hoaxes foisted by slave owning oppressors on the masses.
Just before the host broke us up, I recall the veins popping out purple on his neck as I told him that the Left can only soil and never uplift any institution or society it controls.
Truth to Left is that which advances their goals. Factuality is irrelevant.
I am afraid that we have too many people who don’t own a CONCEPT of truth. I have had a lot of political disagreements with one retired preacher I know who is 87 years old, he asks me why one of us has to be right, why can’t we both be right he asks. I don’t remember my exact reply but it was to the effect that we can both be right about some matters even if we disagree but if I say the sun rises in the East and you say it rises in the West then I am right and you are wrong, there is no way around that. He doesn’t seem to want to deal with that idea.
When Pilot asked, “What is truth?” He said, “I am.”
Nuff said.
Have had the same experience, even on the local level, with state legislative leader who was totally committed to the agenda of the Party and, in conversation, just automatically went into overdrive with the Party talking points on any subject. It’s as if rational thought and discussion of great ideas are “beyond the pay grade” of those whose agenda disagrees the discussion at hand.
I may end up subscribing to the site...they have been putting out great content, and it seems like every time I read a great, thoughtful article, that is where it originates from.
