Recently, I pointed out to a friend that his claims of Barrack Obama's Columbia University student ID card, which showed that 'student Obama' was born in Kenya was NOT AUTHENTIC. Upon researching three different credible websites all three sources spoke to the question with factual indicators that the Columbia University Obama student ID card was bogus...a forgery...a fake!
I stated that correction as a response to my friend's erroneous comment and his response was, "That's my opinion." In other words, his opinion trumps (no pun intended) any and all facts.
Folks...Welcome to our 21st Century public debate guidelines. Or shall I say, Welcome to America's Twilight Zone? A place where facts are no longer facts but can be wrong if one's 'opinion' differs from a fact.
BUT why should we be surprised at the casual dismissal of factual evidence these days? President Trump openly admits that he has NOT read the classified Russian documents that he wants de-classified. How ignorant and how dangerous this man!
Today in America...Fact is no longer absolute. Truth is no longer absolute. America is no longer that
"City upon a shining hill" of which former President Ronald Reagan often spoke.
