This blog post is in response to a Washington Times columnist, Everett, Piper.  On March 11, 2025, his column titled, "Democrats and common sense: Democrats are now officially the party of relativism, not reality”.  I hope he reads it and responds.

True!  Some of us liberals reject objective reality.   Like "the self-evident" "Truths" expressed in the Declaration of Independence 11 years before those who drafted a fundamentally flawed U.S. Constitution.  And some progressives have said “there is no such thing as a truth with a capital T”

But too many conservatives, including their Republican MAGA President too often use the phrase “common sense”!   In a completely backward way as Thomas Payne‘s famous pamphlet titled the same but brilliantly details. 

In his wisdom he expressed in that short document there is profound examples of 'self-evident truth'. First is the human reality that no individual can survive and thrive alone. We are each dependent on so many things that fail to arise in a shallow mind.   Like the fact that every human is 99.9 the same genetically, thus we are all related in the human family. 

The second reality that not all humans are angels. And we need a set of rules that keep us from killing one another. And finally, that rule set has only two goals.  They fit the primary goal that the human mind was engineered to acknowledge and to conserve, even if others' have lost their mind.  

All life forms are engineered by nature to survive and thrive.   This is a fundamental principle and self-evident truth anyone with logic can grasp.  And every individual has the right to use their freedom and protect themself and their family from anything.  But this requires they not infringe upon the freedom and security of others.  That they be virtuous to all.  

Unfortunately, most political parties and nearly every religion or economist philosophy are examples of relativism, and rarely reality. In other words, they have no 'common' sense of 'being' - other than their tarnished gold rule applied consistently only giving power to who has the gold.

Relativism is a philosophical argument that some mind created under the delusion that there is no objective truth.  I encourage people with this mindset to jump off a 50-story building to prove gravity is not an objective truth.

The greatest flaw of our human mind is its ability to construct its own subjective truths.  Usually suited to their relative needs or circumstances. And a profoundly limited understanding of real life.

One this flawed human habits is evidenced in their political, religious, economic, and spiritual subjective truths.  These are toxic to life on earth.  And if human laws fail to enforce justice, chaos will inevitably reign supreme.   

If a liberal believes what is right for them may be the exact opposite of is right for others they are ignoring the law of non-contradiction. And if such a liberal is reading this right now. Their mind existing in cognitive dissonance is obviously saying “ whatever!”  While in a conservative arguing to often uses the tactic of gaslighting, or 'YA BUTTING' to get off track from encountering a self-evident truth some liberal is defending.

Too many conservatives appear unable to get over their foolishly flawed mental construct that in nature, there is only males and females.  When in fact genetic variation is in every aspect of life. In every human being, being human.  As well as nearly every biological multicellular organism that was not cloned.   And that fetuses are not yet babies. But in their mind, they can believe anything they want. Just as liberal minds often do.  But there are absolutely absolute truths. 

Truths are only fluid and ignorant minds within either party seeking political power.  In the words of Os Guinness, “Truth is true, even if no one believes it, and falsehood is false, even if everyone believes it. Truth is true, and that’s just the end of it.”

And until this world view is understood by every mind committed to surviving and thriving that our species is endangered, along with many other life forms on this gifted planet, because of Truth Decay.  The real world we live in is not self-referential. It is endowed by God, whatever you believe him, he or it to be.  And is not created by consensus of we flawed and vulnerable immortals.

In fact, we cannot live without fundamental truths. Consider engineering without math and the absolute that 2+2 = 4.   Try building anything that defies the law of gravity. 

The denial of absolute truth is simply a denial of logic. And if you claim there are no absolutes, you’re actually proving you have one.

“Live and let live” is tolerable if one person is not trying to kill the other. But if they is a fundamental purpose of life that liberals often ignore.  They try to ban weapons.

The bottom line is that both parties and most people in the United States. Ignore the wisdom of common sense.   And make themselves irrelevant to the survival of themselves, their families, and the United States itself.  No one can be pro science if they deny biology, physics, chemistry, and DNA.

And you cannot be pro-American with our foundational ideals of freedom and common sense - if you think defending borders and creating illegal immigrants is what God intended for humanity. And unless President Trump and his mega minions grasp this fundamental purpose that God has for all of us, may God forgive him and them for their delusions.   And save us all from their insane beliefs and those of liberals, who hold polarized views of reality.
