TRUTH, AND THE TRUTHFUL TRUTH-TELLERS WHO TELL IT

One thing about the truth. It's not relative. It's not truth to me. Something either is, or is not, the truth. In this Blog, we are going to discuss things in a truthful, honest way.

Something else about the truth: people don't always like to hear it, despite what they may say publicly. When the truth runs contrary to their own personal actions or beliefs, they enter into either denial or they intentionally embrace a lie. It happens every day.

At this Blog, there is room only for Truth, and it's expressions from the Truthful Truth-Tellers Who Tell It.

Those who pay attention to current events might recognize that title, the title of this Blog, as a play on the title of a book written by one Al Franken. Mr. Franken is a former comedian who became mildly popular a few years back for roles on the TV program "Saturday Night Live." Franken wrote a book titled "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them". In the book, Franken repeatedly lied and exaggerated the positions of those who did not agree with his ultra-liberal worldview. Hypocrisy such as Franken's will not be tolerated here. No room for hypocrites when discussing the truth.

Have I myself always told the truth, always embraced it in all it's perfection? Absolutely not. I have lied, just as we all have. That is the truth. But I am growing, I am changing, and I am telling the truth these days.

This truth about which we will speak will encompass big issues and small, important matters and trivial. We will discuss truth in politics, sports, current events, religion, education, social policy. We may even discuss truth itself at times.

So welcome to "the Truth". Hope you can handle it.
