Freedom: That's Just Some People Talking
I can't take
credit for the notion that fact is what enough people believe and truth is determined by how fervently they believe it. Also at a loss to rebut
that observation so as to land squarely where it is needed most.
Whatever happened to acquiescence to people whom we admit know more than
we do? The demonization of proper facts in favor of the feel good
construct has spawned supporting governors who refuse Medicaid
expansion, giving credence to endorphin raising theorists in lieu of
objective sources of news, eschewing the role of citizen in our system
of self-governance and the list, once begun, reaches book length.
On this, the eve of the Mueller appearance before Congress, the republic cries out like a modern Diogenes. Who will tell the truth that the chief executive was far from exonerated and that his collusions and obstructions were preemptively vanished by a corrupted attorney general who got to frame the Mueller report before its dissemination? And how on Earth can someone dissolve into a puddle of what-about-ism and cultish ear covering to perpetuate the validity of a chosen side, regardless?
Be reminded of this quote from Ben Bradlee: "As long as a journalist tells the truth, in conscience and fairness, it is not his job to worry about consequences. The truth is never as dangerous as a lie in the long run. I truly believe the truth sets men free."
Freedom is what America should be all about, yes?
