"The
truth will not be denied. The truth always wins. To the extent that
we align ourselves with it, we thrive. To the extent that we deny it,
we suffer."- Unknown
Does
the truth matter? We live in an age of unprecedented challenges to
the truth. It is under siege every minute of every day. All of us can point to examples:
Politicians who manipulate the truth or withhold it, the
re-evaluation and re-writing of history, or the meaning
of our Constitution and our laws. Here are some random truth for your collective
consciousness.
-
The
biggest difference between the left and right today, when it comes
to racial issues, is that liberals tend to take the side of
those blacks who are doing the wrong things -- hoodlums the left
depicts as martyrs, while the right defends those blacks more
likely to be the victims of those hoodlums.
-
In
Europe, “Democratic Socialism” has weakened many
nations, leaving them open to an invasion by millions of
Muslim immigrants.
-
Obama
isn’t really a Socialist, but he is, like most of Democrats and
Republicans, a corporatist, if not an economic fascist.
-
Academia
in general, and the elite northeastern schools in particular, have
long been seen as a bastion for left-wing professors. The latest
numbers show that 1 in 28 Ivy League professors are Leftists. “I
am amazed at how high that number is,” - Harvard Dean Michael D.
Smith
-
In
a world where the truth means so little, and headstrong
preconceptions seem to be all that matter, what hope is there for
rational words or rational behavior, much less mutual understanding
across racial lines?
-
Most
crime, except perhaps white-collar crime, is committed by people
who vote Democratic. Therefore, it's not surprising that former
Attorney General Eric Holder, President Barack Obama and their
liberal Democratic partners want to end laws that prevent felons
and ex-felons from voting. Felons and ex-felons are seen as an
important part of their party's constituency.
-
When
you’ve spent your whole life believing that everyone should be
judged by the content of his character and the merit of his
actions, not the color of his skin, it’s a little shocking to
find out that almost no one seems to believe in this idea any more
except for mostly white conservative Americans.
-
Democrats
used to consider themselves the champions of blue collar workers.
But not any more. Democrats today have new hip friends, like crony Socialist billionaires posing as renewable energy moguls reaping
billions in taxpayer corporate welfare, in return for the political
contributions that keep today’s Democrat Calculated Deception
machine going.
-
NATO:
its very reason to exist terminated when the Soviet Union and
its Warsaw Pact military alliance ended in 1991; but, yet, it
continues even today. The
Pentagon’s decision to deploy F22 fighter aircraft to Europe for the
first time in history and 20 new atomic warheads into Germany threatens now to bring about WW III. Experts
have said that if people fear a nuclear war, they must go as far as
possible from Europe, to countries such as New Zealand. The chances
to survive are high there.
-
Have
you ever noticed how Republicans in public tend to speak their own
mind and as a result all seem to say something different? That
doesn't happen to Democrats. When they go on TV they are the epitome
of the disciplined message. They all say the same thing, even using
the very same words.
-
Talking
the talk of “free markets” but proposing policies that mostly
amount to collaborations between well-placed private-sector interests
and the State is the hallmark of “corporatism,” or “state
capitalism,” or even economic
fascism.
-
If
you want to spend your life nursing grievances, you will never run
out of grievances to nurse, regardless of what color your skin is.
If some people cannot be rotten to you because of your race,
they will find some other reason to be rotten to you. The
question is whether you want to deal with such episodes at the
time when they occur or whether you want to nurse your
grievances for years, and look for opportunities for
"payback" against other people for what somebody else
did.
