Truth, law and freedom are the trifecta of our American democracy. Without faithful adherence to the first two principles the last one cannot truly exist.
In today’s Orwellian political climate in America it is suddenly risqué for politicians to speak plain truths. This is the direct consequence of the litany of bold-faced lies spoken by the current occupant of the White House and she—the truth-challenged Democrat contender (say 6 out of 10 cited by interviewer Anna Keilar regarding a recent CNN poll)—who would replace him. Undoubtedly, it is a sad commentary on the current state of our democracy that it takes an off-the-grid brash billionaire—who doesn’t need the money, fame or power—to articulate what the average citizen in this country is feeling, experiencing and speaking in non-politically correct whispers.
