Are you familiar with the saying, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me”? How consequential is this and how do we move from a mere saying to understanding its meaning, and above all the consequences of misunderstanding it?
¿Estás familiarizado con el dicho, “Si me engañas una vez, la culpa es tuya pero si me engañas dos veces, la culpa es mía”? ¿Qué tan consecuente es esto y cómo pasamos de un simple dicho a entender su significado, y sobre todo las consecuencias de no entenderlo?
Bryan Fischer | February 24, 2017 (barbwire.com) – The fundamental conflict in our culture and in our politics right now is a simple one. It is conflict between those who love the truth and speak the truth and those who hate the truth and want it repressed. Things weren’t always

As a nation, America was born ideologically polarized and, like all civilizations, she has embraced moral pluralism and multiculturalism. Now she has to deal with the interpretation of what are truth, reality, humanity, and values. The other hurdle to overcome is to ascertain whose interpretation of these is accurate.
