There’s something fundamentally wrong with conmen, criminals, liars, looters, marxists, murderers, scumbags, socialists, totalitarians, tyrants.

It’s not what goes in the body that defiles a person. It is what comes out of the heart that defiles.

Liberals are the camp that believes human nature is basically good, and they point to their camp as evidence of that.

Matthew 15:11—
Liberals are fundamentally damaged and twisted, far removed from the Spirit and Knowledge of God.

Yep. Twitter gives us insight to people. And it gives people a way to spew the contents of their heart.

Liberals, particularly journalists, have morphed into something very disturbing since the arrival of Donald Trump onto the political scene.

They have always been very disturbing.

During the Obama years, they masked their cruel side because they saw that their goal to destroy freedom was being advanced. They looked to Hillary to drive the final nail into the coffin of our great Republic. But when we, the people, did not cooperate and instead elected a non-politician who shares our desire for freedom, the mask came off. Their dream of an American totalitarian state is in grave danger, and they will stop at nothing to try to save it.

These people are evil.

Freedom of speech does not cover libel or slander. Shouldn't we have a mechanism to hold them accountable for knowingly printing lies?

As I get older, more mature and wise, LOL—I can tell exactly who and what I am dealing with in very short order-—Spiritual Discernment-—I do not listen to or take counsel from fools.
I recognize and dwell in the Spirit and know who is friend or foe——

“Shouldn’t we have a mechanism to hold them accountable for knowingly printing lies?”

Until March 9, 1964, there was such a mechanism.

This essay explains why such outrageous lies can be published without fear of retribution: Supreme Court Ruled that Media Can Lie with Impunity by Kelleigh Nelson. You can read the entire article at http://newswithviews.com/Nelson/kelleigh269.htm.

Paraphrasiong the pertinent part of the article:

“We can thank the liberal 1964 Warren Supreme Court for a unanimous decision in New York Times Company v. Sullivan. It was argued on January 6-7, 1964, and decided on March 9, 1964.”

Snip

“. . . The Court said the right to publish all statements is protected under the First Amendment. The Court also said in order to prove libel, a public official must show that what was said against them was made with actual malice – “that is, with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard for the truth.”

“Isn’t that just grand? Now the media can say anything they want about a public figure whether true or false, and get away with it. So with a stroke of the pen, or an email send, a public figure’s reputation can be utterly destroyed....with lies or twisted truths.

“So, the Court held that the First Amendment protects the publication of all statements, even false ones, about the conduct of public officials, except when statements are made with actual malice (with knowledge that they are false or in reckless disregard of their truth or falsity). Under this new standard, Sullivan’s original case collapsed, and this is why today, lies are told by media and public officials with impunity.”

Read the entire article at http://newswithviews.com/Nelson/kelleigh269.htm. It is a good read.

In other words, liberals.

Our founding fathers wanted a free unrestricted press. And so do I. The problem is not that the media is biased, it has always been biased. The problem is the the media has become a monopoly with only one point of view.

Up until the 1950s every major city (and many small ones) had two or more newspapers. Each with a different point of view.

There was a sort of balance of power between the various views.

Today there are just a few people who really control what goes out in their media. They support the liberal views and hate conservatives. In their view everything is fair in love and war and trust me on this, they are at war with conservatives.

Perhaps the solution is the same when other industries turned into monopolies, break them up.

But that may not be necessary as newspapers are committing slow suicide by being so heavy handed. With the internet, it is possible for someone to actually find the source material on many stories before the bias is added. Newspapers are going the way of the video stores.

I think what we are really seeing is the dying days of liberals, in their heart they know it, so they are putting everything they have in this last battle.

Even if they win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory in that they would have exhausted themselves and our nation.

:^) At least that is what I think for what it is worth.

I would argue that LIEberals are the camp that believes human nature is basically bad, and then point to their camp as evidence that they are the “good guys” who MUST BE IN CHARGE so they can control all those “bad guys.”

That is really horrific. That is just like when Comey unilaterally decided that Hillary should not be prosecuted for mishandling classified information because she had no “intent.”

No one can read minds, so any journalist could testify that he or she had no malicious intent when he/she published the most vile lies about politicians. While one could argue that they wouldn’t print the lies if they were not malicious, such arguments are not based on evidence.

Still, it seems that even with the Sullivan decision, we should be able to take the media to task for knowingly printing lies. I think that two things should happen here-one, hold the media accountable for their lies, and two, break up the media monopoly. IIRC, only six conglomerates control 90% of the media. That is not a good situation for free speech.

Greater legal minds than mine (and I am NOT a lawyer!), who should be hard at work on this issue, have apparently decided that there is no legal recourse that can be taken, since none has been.

HST, We the People can stop reading/watching/listening to their LIES and affect their bottom line. Witness the loss of readership by the WashingtonComPost and the NYSlimes.

How are other LIEberal newspapers doing - anybody know?

I don’t follow the TV ratings, but LIEberal TV has not done so well lateley, IIRC, and Fox News (which I quit watching when O’Reilly was fired), has apparently lost some viewers.

We the People can and do influence the “opinion makers,” and We the People need to get off our asses and bring these LIEberal “opinion makers” to heel!

I’ve been reading and hearing about the decline in circulation of every major newspaper for several decades yet they still print their garbage. Advertisers still fill their pages. They get more liberal every year. I used to buy the Sunday paper because of the coupons and the puzzles but since my wife passed I stopped that 4 years ago so I’m doing my part!

Sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. Hope you are doing OK.

I neither read the local rag nor watch TV news. Get all my information off the internet and conservative talk radio.

Let’s ALL boycott the LIEberal bastards!
