== Truth as a Value ==

Truth can be considered to be a morally desirable trait in a person, since it the antithesis of "undesirable" traits such as deceit, blind ideology, or corruption. [[Christian]]s in particular uphold truth as a necessary and desirable value, since it is something taught by the [[Bible]], and [[Jesus]] himself.

As a rule, liberals do not hold truth to be an important value, because analyzing and processing data to formulate an understanding of reality, and hence, an understanding of "truth" is a liberal lie and subversion. They believe that truth is subjective, arrived at by a gathering of facts, processed by thoughts and feelings, and molded through experiences, allowing everyone to freely decide on his own version of truth, see [[moral relativism]].

==Opponents==

Many opponents of truth have arisen over the course of human history, such as [[communist]] [[China]] and [[Adolph Hitler]]'s [[Nazi Germany]], and the administrations of [[Democrats]]. 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 as 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 [[liberal]]s mock Truth by coining terms like "truthiness" ([[Stephen Colbert]]) to deride the real nature of truth. The real nature of truth can clearly be found instead in the blessed and successful administration of [[George W. Bush]] and the [[Fox News]] channel. Conservatism embraces truth as it is refined and filtered through a set of unchanging ideological understandings and partisan lenses.
