| − | Many opponents of truth have arisen over the course of human history, such as [[communist]] [[China]] and [[Adolph Hitler]]s [[Nazi Germany]]. Such enemies typically advocate the wide use of [[censorship]]. Incidentally, many [[liberals]] also advocate the use of [[censorship]] in the form of [[political correctness]], e.g. refusing to describe someone as crippled or a spastic when they plainly are, out of some misguided notion of politeness. Former [[Vice President]] and notorious [[liberal]] [[Al Gore]] made several untruthful claims in his documentary [[An Inconvenient Truth]]. Many liberals mock Truth by coining terms like "truthiness" (Stephen Colbert) to deride the real nature of truth. | + | Many opponents of truth have arisen over the course of human history, such as [[communist]] [[China]] and [[Adolph Hitler]]'s [[Nazi Germany]].
