The Trouble With Truth
One of the cute little tricks of the left that I have detected recently is to attribute a truth to a universally recognized villain, thus, in their minds, neutralizing the validity of that truth. But does it? Truth: That which corresponds to reality. Truth stands alone no matter who says it. It doesn't matter if that truth is presented by Rand or by Hitler, the truth stays true no matter who says it. If a truth is mouthed by George Soros, after it has been espoused by Ayn Rand, it does not negate that truth. The truth may be tainted in some minds because it was said by a villain. Do not be fooled. And remember this, one of the very worse things you can do is to refuse to recognize the truth because you don't like it.

Because I'm The Mommy. That's Why. DEAL WITH IT!

First, of Hollywood can create "actors" that look and act like real people, there will be no need to pay millions to flesh and blood actors to be in their movies. Cheaper production cost - which is the reason we have all of the God-awful reality TV programming today.
The second reason, mainly being pursued by the "others", and far more sinister, is in fact the same - to create a virtual reality that is indistinguishable from real reality. Once this is achieved, then those who bring us Fake News today will take that to the next level and will provide us with video that shows Putin walking into Trump Towers, or riots in Detroit, or atomic bombs going off in Kansas City. They will simply take this technology, make up whatever they want that advances their agenda, and viewers will be unable to distinguish between their fake video and the real thing.
Everything ever created by man has at some point been turned for nefarious purposes. CG and Virtual Reality will. E no different. Welcome, Winston. Your reality awaits.

What most do not get is that "Truth" never changes...only our understanding of it.
I relate Truth to the physical, natural and quantum laws and everything that relates to those laws. They never change...only our understanding of them.
All else, might be considered Facts...so long as they are observable, repeatable and duplicatable.

But Joe owes the IRS money! Joe owes back taxes! Lookit Joe! Lookit Joe! OMG, it's Joe! Joe! Joe! Lookit Joe!
Me dino is still amazed by all that truthful BS.
A recalled stupid letter to some editor me dino also read: "Plumber Joe is a Republican plant."
But he's the one who got peed on for what Barry said.
Me dino finds the whole protect the progressive psychology that spun that telling the truth incident fascinating.
Because a proposition contains some part of a partial truth it is called spin. All it is, is a lie with some decoration attached.
Where Joe the Plumber is concerned, the media hooted and hollered about his truthful shortcomings to at least get sheeple fascinated with a first black president to overlook Barry's admission to being a socialist.
How well that worked, I don't know. The skin color fascination followed by a D may have overrode everything.

You know, I would never talk to lefties except for my cousins, and some friends from waaaay back who are still my friends even though politically we're as close politically as earth is to Jupiter.
My otherwise most outspoken conservative brother advised me that the lib thinks it is just wrong that I think it is fun to go to a pistol range.
Welcome to same group as me, though it is very small.................
"...or we can fight it as it appears to me that Trump is doing. I am behind Trump as long as he stays true." Yes, sir. And, as a businessman, having kept track of him since the 1970s, I firmly believe he will."

I am glad for your confirmation of Trump's character, thank you, and I hope that he remains true to himself and to the people. I am watching him closely and I am pretty sure I will know the instant he breaks as I have been put in that position many times. I wish him strength enough to remain true and fight the good fight.
Actually that's BS but it writes nice. It's kinda interesting since I have one cousin who fights with me on the internet and another who is close to both of us and gets caught in the middle. They're both women and the one in the middle keeps checking with me to check and see if we're still friends.I tell her that nothing can make me un-love her. She lives in Mass. which is a bastion of liberals, as you know.
It would be nice for that person to tell you himself and say why. Is it wrong to go to the range or wrong to think it's fun? If he think it's just a little wrong, like doing a rolling stop when turning right on red, maybe he would go to the range with you and show you what parts are wrong. It's hard for me to imagine him not having fun, and then he might re-evaluate.
So I wrote what I wrote in response instead.
It seems politics is now about searching for some technicality under which someone broke the law. I remember it being more about the policies twenty years ago. The budget debate after the Republicans took control of Congress was not Lincoln-Douglas, but it was about policy differences. Now discourse is more about finding a reason to lock up the other candidate for accidentally violating some law.
It erodes respect for the law. If everyone breaks some law, going 5 over, putting some personal items in a business purchase, walking through a no-firearms area with a legally-carried gun, using drugs, driving without a seat belt; then the authorities learn to look the other way for these little things, and the law becomes an excuse to exercise arbitrary power. The concept of the law was created to prevent this.

So, who promised you a rose garden?
Without pain, and sadness, how will you know joy and elation? Life's a roller coaster -- up, down and sometimes level, but in the words of Geothe, "Nothing is as boring as an endless succession of lovely days."
yet I do the things I hate' (var.)
Wasn't that Eisenhower? We have very little reason to be there . Hopefully, Trump will turn out to be a saber rattler not a saber user.
Anyone who can shut me up is a definitely superior mind.
Not likely.
But I'm usually good with goofy illustrations.
They are attempting to misname the entire genre as "Neo-Liberals". Truth be told, Conservatism (not the NEOCON variety of course) is Truly "CLASSICAL LIBRALISM" as espoused by de Toqueville et al. Small government, personal freedom and personal responsibility thus unleashing the power of the individual.
This modern movement to "re-brand" Conservatism is being done by those folks who have no clue as to what they are trying to say other than to tie Conservatives "Not NEOCON, to big government, nation building, never saw a war they didn't like" (who incidentally are much closer in alignment with the Progressives who represent the "real" Neo-Liberal movement to which they subscribe).
It would be interesting to point this out to those folks (especially the snowflakes who are truly either clueless because of the indoctrination they have received or, they are just desperately trying to find an answer to the success of the Conservative brand and its robust movement!
For what its worth!
there is no trouble with truth, only people have a problem accepting it.

Actually, it's past time.
The trouble is with people listening inattentively and further allowing legislation supporting arguments lacking logical support.
...and interesting conclusion precipitating on the ability of people to be responsible for themselves or the popular vote.
