Why don’t these people just tell the truth,** “i need the money from the people who profit from murdering innocent babies (the Planned Parenthood, Pro-Abortion crowd) so i will use your hard earned tax $$$$ to murder innocent babies!”****
These sad politicians all tend to deny the Truth & bend it with slick verbage to suit their needs.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora Pro Nobis Peccatoribus!

Some people say that there is no truth with a capital “T”? Is it true that there is no truth? If you believe that statement, then you are between the devil and the deep blue sea. It is what St. Thomas Aquinas would call a self-contradiction (“contradiction in actu exercito”).
As I have said in other threads, truth is immutable. It does not change through the ages. Truth does not have legs on it. It does not move around with the changing of the times. Truth cannot be denied.
“It seems to me that one must bring men back…to the hope of finding the truth (St. Thomas Aquinas).” Sixteen centuries later we are at a similar crossroads.
I will go back to my argument that the moon is made of cheese, if you believe it is made of cheese. I was making fun of relativism. The relativist would have us believe that each of us has our own version of truth. Many of you have pointed this out to me in numerous threads. Relativism is another “ism” that is self-contradictory and untenable.
At first blush relativism seems broadminded. Let’s agree to disagree. However, if truth is universal, immutable, objective and inescapable, then we can’t agree to disagree, can we?
Relativism is intolerant. It is intolerant of truth. Relativism says that truth is not universal, immutable, objective and inescapable.
Either truth is true for all people for all ages, or it is false. The relativist does not fall into the trap of the skeptic by saying that truth does not exist. The relativist does not deny the existence of truth. The relativist falls into the trap of believing that truth is relative.
Here is the rub: The relativist believes that his opinion is correct. Is everyone else wrong who believes that truth is universal, immutable, objective and inescapable? Using the classical definition of truth, truth must be unconditionally true and it must be true for everyone. There is a self-contradiction here. The relativist is saying that it is unconditionally true that truth is relative!
