No, I didn't say that. Just that we are looking at two different things where
>> He came off as a Truther.
I'm not sure what a "truther" is, but I wouldn't call him that literally. He essentially stated there is no truth. Many issues (using Christianity as the prime example) cannot be boiled down to truth. Neither can politics, or even the accomplishments of a man.
He is really clear, in the video at least, that seeking truth is not satisfactory because everyone has his/her own truth. (We see that every day in this very thread, and we sure see it on MSNBC, The View, WaPo/NYT, and CNN. And on Fox, too).
The truth is secondary, perhaps tertiary. What is essential is to lay out all the facts. And that is what is now being corrupted by the left. They have been able to grab the virtual meeting room where content is hashed out in such a way that they can monitor, e.g., the Joe Biden pages and when one changes, they can immediately effect a modification to the varnished version of it.
Orwell could not have done it better.
We should all keep in mind Wikipedia isn't the biggest player here. Google owns Youtube and has been pulling legit video at an astonishing pace. Stuff that should not, objectively, be removed. Twitter has informed Trump that even if he runs he is banned -- and there is no reason for that other than "Jack Dorsey doesn't like you here". Facebook, same thing, even after its "internal committee" said, "Not so fast". Yes, so fast.
You can say that is okay with you, but you can't say it is any way to run a country.
After he wins reelection, I believe he MUST bring the hammer down on these organizations. You cannot have "free speech" and limit free speech at the same time. The argument that, "It isn't government, so anything goes" is not holding to hold up and we need to just cut it loose now. |
