I have nothing against people ignoring the “truth”, whatever that may be, just as long as they are aware of the inherent biases of their news source(s). It’s these blind sheep that think that their news source is 100% unbiased (unless, of course, they are watching The Onion) that I can’t stand.
As long as they think and speak out against public funding of biased news, justice will be served.
The church is not ytrying to legislate against you What they are doing , rightly so IMO, is opposing the attepts by homosexual apologidsts to extend the same protected status of race,gender and country of national origin have to those who engage in homosexual behavior
Not this again…
People who engage in homosexual behavior have the same rights as do all Americans regardless of race,creed,gender or country of national origin
The inconvenient problem with all of these analyses and comparisons of left versus right or Democrat versus Republican is that the left and or Democrats have been consistently vehemently pro-abortion “pro-choice”] even in such aspects as partial birth abortion and parental notification. Whereas the Republicans have been generally consistently pro-life.
(Further) off topic, this is why I’d particularly like to see more than just two major parties on the ballot, even if it comes down to a four-party system, with Democrats (far left), Republicans (far right), a moderate left and a moderate right party. The Democratic and Republican parties, in my opinion, have too much power, and are only able to represent a fraction of our population’s interests.
The conservative voices have had to resort to radio, since they are essentially shut out of TV. As well, a high percentage of conservatives are working stiffs and small business owners who can listen to radio while they run their business.
The problem is that we have not spoken up sooner against the anti-conservative bigotry that has been present in the media for a few decades. Conservatives have been kicked to the AM radio curb while obvious bigotted shows like The View where 4 libs vs 1 conserv are self-promoted as quality programming. Sheesh. Some people have not lived in a time when it was more balanced, so they can’t “see” it because they haven’t experienced anything different. They actually believe that the liberal propaganda is somehow normal. Wow.
Political liberalism is the most subtle of creatures. This media exclusion of conservatism did not happen overnight, but tiny little bit by bit over decades. Generally, conservatism is not nearly as polished in its approach, and is much easier to discern.
I’m not so sure people today understand what was meant by a separation of church and state. As Christians, we are required to stand up for what is right. If a certain politician or party will promote the protection of life, then it is important that we support that person if we want to protect life. It’s not only a privilege, it is a civic and moral duty because we are blessed to have a representative form of government.
Time to end their bigotry.
The constitution, wisely, guarantees only a free press, not a balanced press. Were it balanced, the devil would then have equal time (instead of nearly all of it?).
Very insightful commentaries, GIR! I think it’s the human tendency to classify people into little boxes etc. That’s why I like Catholic radio - prefer to be free from all political labels, whether “liberal catholic” or “conservative catholic” or “socialist catholic”. Why not just a catholic who follows the teachings of the church when voting? I think political labels make everything relative: I’m liberal, you’re conservative and there’s no right or wrong - they are just different and everyone’s okay.
What?!?! Capital punishment is murder, just as abortion is murder. Innocence should not be the judge of who we choose to kill. Our children could just as well grow up to be serial killers, should we murder them to protect society? Should retirees, most long deprived of their innocence, be sent to out pasture like animals? Unless it is absolutely clear that lives will be saved, the death penalty should never be necessary.
I’m with you.
