... . you have an eye, so look with your own eye: do not look through the eye of an ignorant fool.
you have an ear, so hearken with your own ear: why be dependent on the ears of blockheads?
Make a practice of seeing (for yourself) without blindly following any authority: think in accordance with the view of your own reason. ~ Jalal uddin Rumi ~

Misquotation: โFacts are stupid thingsโ
Often represented as a misquotation by Ronald Reagan of the words of John Adams (second President of the United States), defending soldiers in the โBoston Massacreโ trials in March 1770. In the course of his speech, he uttered the words:
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the states of facts and evidence.
In his address to the 1988 Republican National Convention, Ronald Reagan introduced a section of his speech with the words:
Before we came to Washington, Americans had just suffered the two worst back-to-back years of inflation in 60 years. Those are the facts, and as John Adams said, โFacts are stubborn things.โ
This paragraph, and the following four paragraphs, finished with Adamsโs words. However, at the end of the third paragraph, Reagan made a verbal slip, which he immediately corrected. A transcript of the speech reads,
โFacts are stupid things โ stubborn things, should I say. [Laughter].โ
However, despite its origin as a slip of the tongue, โFacts are stupid thingsโ has taken on a life of its own in the world of quotations.
From Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.

How fascinating โ and perhaps revealing โ that a believer in the refuted, unfactual, holyho@x mass-gassing mythology should post such a miquote as a โquote of utilityโ. It speaks volumes that a believer in a myth should suggest โ facts are stupid thingsโ would be a useful message to share with others. ๐ |

Well, this is just typical. So, when RODOH holds itself up as the bastion of free speechโฆitโs lying.

โBeliefs are so hard to overcome because they are irrational and therefore do not yield to logical argument.โ
โYour belief systems limit your reality to a sub-set of the solution-space that does not contain the answer.โ ~

Q: What exactly was entailed in โthe final solution of the Jewish questionโ initiated by Herman Gรถring
and discussed at Wannsee under the jurisdiction of Reinhard Heydrich?
The answer to that question with the unevidenced mass-gassing mythology asserting that 6 million Joos were somehow
deliberately, calculatedly and systematically murdered as part of a genocidal policy (without leaving any credible
documentary proof nor empirical evidence) is currently THE most universally accepted โanswerโ that may not be questioned!

THE RACIST, ANTI-GERMAN โHOLOCAUSTโ MASS-GASSING ALLEGATION
IS A FAITH-BASED BELIEF SYSTEM.
WE CAN KNOW THIS BECAUSE โSCIENCE adjusts its views based on what is observed.
Whereas FAITH is the denial of observation
so that faith can be preserved.โ
