I can't help but notice that there's a big difference between the way conservatives

and leftists present their points of view.

This I think is indicative of a central difference in our philosophies.

Conservatives believe there is such a thing as truth, that the truth is based on reality

and reality is made up of facts.

This is why you often see conservatives pointing at charts and discussing the latest research

just before a large angry crowd attacks them with clubs and beats them into a bleeding

mass of pulpy flesh.

And then pours alcohol over the still-quivering pile of gore and sets it aflame and then

votes the smoldering ashes out of office.

Leftists have another point of view, sometimes called relativism, postmodernism or line.

You see, leftists believe there is no such thing as objective truth.

As American philosopher Richard Rorty wrote, quote, and this is a real quote, objectivity

is a matter of intersubjective consensus among human beings, not of accurate representation

of something non-human.

Rorty then called for another whiskey, but he couldn't get an intersubjective consensus

that whiskey existed so he was forced to settle for a beer before stumbling to the empty

space where he could have sworn he'd parked his car.

Essentially, leftists believe that truth is a story that we tell.

This makes language very important because language creates the story that creates the

truth.

Leftists therefore are very concerned with what things are called.
