Curtis: The Debate the Left Has Forced on Us: Freedom vs. the Truth

Good morning,

I would like to share with you the most recent column by Executive Director
Jessica Curtis published for the [3]American Thinker titled The Debate the
Left Has Forced on Us: Freedom vs. the Truth.

"We are a democratic republic. Have been since 1789. What should be more
important — the freedom to put forward your point of view or someone
deciding if that opinion is true or not? That is the crossroads where we
find ourselves today. For anyone who claims to be a conservative, this
should not be a tough choice. Any way you slice it, freedom beats the
truth police every time.

To be sure, it would be great if what we absorbed from the multitude of
available platforms — mainstream media, avowed opinionated media, social
media, etc. — were able to be determined, in advance, to be truthful and
accurate. The problem is as simple as this: as the famous saying goes,
truth is often in the eye of the beholder. To allow one set of "beholders"
to be the arbiter of what you and I are allowed to see is contrary to every
fiber of what has defined our nation from its outset.

It is not as easy as those who would block us from seeing disinformation or
misinformation claim. For these information police, it is as though, at
every point in time, there are three categories of information — truth,
untruth, and lies. It is true that there are such things as facts, items
that can actually be measured. However, the conclusions to be drawn from
these facts do not neatly divide themselves into those three categories."

Please take a moment to read the full column [4]here, and we hope you find
it of interest!

All the best,
