How do I speak truth to my supervisor without suffering consequences? "You can't! If we are not willing to pay some price for speaking truth, they win!"

In this speech at Hillsdale College, Andrew reminds us that "After all, no one had to devise an ideology to justify kindness, charity, or love. ...There is always moral madness somewhere, and there is always someone who will call it justice. "

Andrew attributes the wonders of America to capitalism, science, and liberalism. By liberalism, he means the commitment to self-government and individual human rights. But Andrew looks for "three symptoms of patches of fog of bad ideology that seem to be gathering in the cultural centers where the future is often made: inordinate fear of catastrophe, silencing of dissent, and the steady progress from moral error to atrocity. These are appearing in the realm of the economy, race, and sex. In a world gone mad, we cannot be silent!"

One person asks Andrew in the question and answer session, "What would you have us do?" Andrew says, "Speak up! Every one of us holds a piece of the culture in our hands. It belongs to everybody. It is the way we treat each other, and it is what we are ready to say. Speak the truth with ultimate kindness and compassion."

In response to another question, Andrew talks about the importance of starting with a shared premise, such as the desire to be free.

Whenever someone says to Andrew, "There is no truth," he asks, "Is that true?"

Bad ideas collapse. Andrew spent most of his life as an atheist or agnostic, then was baptized at age 49. The truth in Jesus is simple logic.
