No criticism of SCOTUS allowed! No expression of religious conviction that disputes the media's memes!
Now that is a First Amendment at work, right?

The editorial board of PennLive/The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. is taking a hardcore stance against those who disagree with the Supreme Court ruling to legalize gay marriage.
“As a result of Friday’s ruling, PennLive/The Patriot-News will no longer accept, nor will it print, op-Eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage,” they declared.
After receiving strong pushback, the newspaper’s editorial board, which is overseen by Editorial Page Editor John Micek, quickly revised its policy. Freedom of speech will be allowed — but only for a “limited” period of time.
Micek explained on Twitter: “Clarification: We will not foreclose discussion of the high court’s decision, but arguments that gay marriage is wrong/unnatural are out.”
Before that, there was this: “From the edit: ‘PL/PN will no longer accept, nor will it print, op-Eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage.’ …This is not hard: We would not print racist, sexist or anti-Semitc letters. To that, we add homophobic ones. Pretty simple.”

I have been calling them the American Soviet Media for a few years now.
Islam isn’t the only terrorist ideology. Humanism/Marxism,which now guides US government law, is definitely a terrorist creed. No matter what these fiends say,”we ought to obey God rather than men”( Acts 5:29).
PA, of course.
How amusing. A dead and dying media is accelerating its own demise by pissing off people who still read a newspaper anyway.
Hey idiots. As you continue to pour gasoline on yourselves, I’ve got a match when ready.
Sounds catchy.
Does the PennLive/The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. have a parking lot?
Do it’s editors drive to work?
Is it night sometimes when they arrive or get off work?
Dear Editorial Board:
“Freedom of speech...just watch what you say” was written by Ice-T, not the drafters of the First Amendment.
....Or online.
Amazon is out of stock of the hardcover version of Orwell’s 1984. Coincidence?
yep, liberals will not begin to round up the Christians for extermination just yet but instead limiting the ‘free speech’ of Christians will be claimed by liberals as a good place to start prior to ‘the round-up’ per liberals. Smell ‘death’ yet?
Send letters complaining about the fact that “arguments that gay marriage is wrong/unnatural are out.”
Giving them 6 months, are you? Generous.
I wonder if they will remember the Christians they silenced when the curses reaped from the SCOTUS’ decision begin to roll out in this country?
yes, is one heck of a price for the ‘monkey’
There's no such thing as homo tolerance. There never was. It's all a lie. The left has everyone believing they're the only one against this, so they're afraid to speak and rock the boat.
Pull any normal American aside, and ask them in confidence, what they REALLY feel about the homosexual agenda. You'll be surprised how many people are relieved to finally speak out and say what they really feel.
Every state that got to vote on this - in private, behind a curtain - hollered out "Hell no!!!"
Now that is a First Amendment at work, right?
Well, of course it will. Nothing says “freedom of speech” & “America” like silencing dissent from the communist diktats.
I will not bet against you, RaceBannon. It’s not just Christian thought, but White, Southern, & traditionalist as well. We have a little over 17 months on the calendar. He can do this & more in half that.
yes, you are correct. Only the media, the politicians and the supremes said otherwise. Bow down America. Worship them ... It is for your children and grand-children they defile you and America ...
