What is it?

Truth, according to Realism, is not a subjective touchy feely process of dialectical thinking like our progressive friends have convinced themselves that it is. The traditional classical definition of truth is a correspondence between our subjective thoughts, and objective existence or reality. Our thoughts are not identical to reality and shouldn’t be confused with reality itself. However, our progressive counterparts, for the most part, believe that reality is entirely subjective, with all of reality being inside the brain of the perceiving subject with nothing independent of it. This philosophy is also known as Epistemological Subjectivism.

The reason this is so important to understand is because in this worldview, there is no duality between the subjective mind and the objective reality that could either correspond or contradict each other. In the world of the epistemological Subjectivist,  nothing can exist except what can be subjectively experienced. As a result, the above mentioned classical definition of Truth loses all

Today, "truth" is . . .

meaning. The Secular Humanist and Postmodernist must redefine truth to fit into this monistic worldview. The most they can hope for in regard to Truth is that there is a consistency within their own thoughts and perceptions, but common sense and logic dictate that even their own perceptions can’t be trusted to be consistent, because they practice even the redefining of the meaning of consistency.

This has devastating consequences when these “thinkers” are in leadership i.e. governments, education, judiciary, business, and “Church,” etc. because the standard always changes. What is True and Right at one point in History becomes Wrong and Evil at another point in History.

Another devastating consequence is the Individual loses his un-a-lien-able Rights because this Individual and his Rights can simply be redefined to fit the vocal and subjectivistic, self-centered majority.

Yep, his notion of "truth".

A perfect example of this is the so-called hate crimes aka thought crimes against anyone who voices a public opinion against Homosexuality. As a result, homosexuals get “special protection” that is not extended to others outside of their privileged group, and totally destroys the unchanging Principle of “Equal Protection under the Law,” To acknowledge that there is such a thing as Equal Protection under the Law would imply that there is an objective principle independent and transcendent of any one particular group, which would repudiate the Secular Humanist and Postmodern mindset.

This Principle is a necessary corollary of the statement in the Declaration that says, “We hold these Truths to be Self-evident, that all Men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain un-a-lien-able Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Because such things as hate crimes is so repugnant to this Principle we truly can say that hate crime legislation completely violates and rapes Reason, Logic and Truth and simply is Un-American!

Murdered because of another's so called "truth"

A Judicial Consequence of such Rape of the Truth is that people are denied substantive Due Process, which concerns itself with the correspondence between the Laws and the Facts of a case, and protects our Un-a-lien-able Rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness. As a result, a voiceless and handicapped Citizen of Florida was mercilessly tortured and murdered judicially before our very eyes because of the exclusive use of procedural Due Process, which only concerned itself with consistency within the Domain of Law and Court Procedure, completely ignoring the objective reality of a helpless woman’s life. If this can happen to One it can happen to All.

A personal decision makes it the Truth?

Another Judicial Rape of the Truth is seen in the Supreme Court case: “As the postmodernist majority opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court held in Planned Parenthood v.Casey, 505 US 833 (1992), at 851, ‘At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe and of the mystery of human life.’ This legal opinion was promulgated for the purpose of legitimizing the supposed license to kill unborn children.”

Here is a perfect example of those who are trusted with our Constitution and trusted to be honest and have integrity of intellectual thought who are suppose to be the best of American minds in American Jurisprudence setting precedent that the redefining of “one’s own concept of existence”is legitimate legal interpretation of what Life is defined to be in our Declaration.

Intolerance is their "truth."

The media buzz word for today is Tolerance. Let’s look at the word “tolerance” to see how it has been redefined over the decades. In Noah Webster’s 1828 edition dictionary the word tolerance meant, “The power or capacity of enduring; or the act of enduring” (hardship or burden). A. J. Conyer discusses the meaning of tolerance, “By extension toleration applies to enduring a wrong or an injustice.” To the Christian theist tolerance is a virtue associated with wisdom for the purpose of achieving some greater good by exercising tolerance and forbearance of a present wrong. Today in our postmodernist world culture the meaning has been redefined as “Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world’s culture, our forms of expression and ways of being human . . . . Tolerance is not concession, condescension or indulgence. Tolerance is, above all, an active attitude prompted by recognition of the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms of others” (UNESCO, 1995 p. 76).

UNLESS – -  you are a Believer in fundamental and unchanging Truth and Reality–you knuckle-dragging neanderthal YOU!

Can it contradict itself? Ah, nope!

In conclusion, Truth is not subjective. Truth is not Relative. There is a Reality independent of our perceptions, and the goal of life is to pursue Truth by conforming our thinking to transcendent, unchanging Reality. The goal is not to use the Law to harm others or to create protected classes of people so as to harm others who disagree with them or redefine our Constitution as a living, breathing document that changes with the whims and lusts of Man. When one group is arbitrarily benefited by Special Law,  others are harmed. Currently, America is being inundated by redefining Secular Humanists and Postmodernists and this will lead to the destruction of Western Civilization if Radical Islam doesn’t get us first.
