Is this what Obama meant when he said that [Democrats] must take the high road?
Imagine what the demoncrats and their propaganda media would do if a milquetoast Republican doctor playing flag football tackled a liberal federal judge resulting in breaking of 5 ribs.
Not only do I hope for real justice to be served here to set an example, but also that Paul files a big $$$ civil suit against the perpetrator.
And who are the instigators? They are sophists who use ad hominem attacks and other slippery evasions to suppress discussion of facts and logic. In a word, “liberals” - whether openly political “liberals” or sub rosa political “liberals” calling themselves “objective" journalists.The latter, nominally unbiased and nominally independent “liberals” are the ones who should, IMHO, be most vulnerable to a civil lawsuit. Adam Smith’s critique of monopoly reads,
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Wealth of Nations (1776That puts people of the trade of journalism - a group which has been in a continuous virtual meeting over the AP newswire since before the Civil War - squarely in the crosshairs of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act (1890), a one page law which provides for treble damages in civil court. And the “meeting” of the AP “wire” is not about “ merriment and diversion” but precisely about business. Members of the Associated Press are not independent, but “associated.”The attack on Sen. Paul reflects the fact that, because journalists knowingly are negative about society and yet claim objectivity, journalists are cynical. Journalists are cynical about society and, if for no other reason, are naive (at best) toward government. And aggrandizement of government (often deceitfully called “society”) at the expense of society (often called “the market”) is the essence of socialism (often called “liberalism” or “progressivism”). Consequently journalism systematically denigrates conservative/libertarian defenders of society - in such terms as to inspire sometimes vicious physical, and/or quasi-legal, assaults on them.
Other examples include shooting up a Republican congressional baseball practice, an attempt on George Zimmerman’s life after the failure of the quasi-legal attempt on his liberty which was rejected by the jury in Florida, the Nifonging of the Duke lacrosse team, the fraudulent “Texas Air National Guard memos,” the use of the SBVT name as a coined name for “deceit” (actually, the inconvenient telling of truth about a Democrat), the branding of every Republican as stupid and every Democrat as a genius, and in similar incidents whose “name is Legion, for we are many.”
The question, indeed, is whether a Sherman case can also be a RICO case . . .
