To: Seeing More Clearly Now
Not every single media outlet has to cover every politically correct book that comes out. The Conservative Media can rest assured that this book will get lots and lots of coverage. They cover books of substance that cover new ground. Nothing that we’re reading here indicates that there any new news in this book.

Did anyone even read the article? The book in question is absolutely politically incorrect. It refers to 'gay' marriage as 'sodomitical' marriage. It is an examination of how the press - all of the press, both mainstreeam and now even 'conservative' - have colluded in changing the language and the arguments that previously surrounded discussion of homosexuality. Criticism and even honest examination of the health risks and psychological/moral defects of the homosexual lifestyle have been determined to be verboten. The 'conservative' press, such as it is, largely goes along with this.

This is one of the dangers of blindly following 'conservative' writers, leaders and politicians and thinking that they're on your side and it's your team. As the entire culture slides ever leftward, the federal government keeps growing and liberty keeps shrinking... does anyone notice that your 'team' moves right along in the same direction? Issues that many here on FR have strong opinions about such as illegal immigration, the homosexual movement, the financial and cultural destruction of the middle class - they continue apace no matter which team wins elections. The Conservative Movement is not halting anything and is certainly not tearing anything down that the Left has erected. Do you enjoy being groped and treated like sheep at the airport? Your 'team' built that. It will never go away.

This man wrote a book that is critical of the cultural, religious, moral and ethical breakdown and how very powerful and very effective media campaigns have changed the very 'rules' of discussing the issue. The conservative press won't even mention or discuss the book. Nothing to see here, move along. They've conceded ever more ground, and would prefer this man's book not inform or upset you about that.

When a movement won't even conserve facts or the proper meaning of words, I begin to deem it unworthy of being called 'conservative.' There are still millions of actual conservatives in this country. Until it is realized that the elites in what you think is your press and your political party actually have much more in common with the Left than with you, this country will continue its steady slide. At what point is there nothing left worth conserving?

Too much work, obviously.

This is one of the dangers of blindly following 'conservative' writers, leaders and politicians and thinking that they're on your side and it's your team.

Again, thinking for oneself is obviously too much work.

I think the country is in serious trouble. The libs are trying to run it into the crapper, which is bad enough...but can we honestly expect it to be defended by the likes of those on this thread?

I don't despair because of our enemies...I depair because of our 'friends.'

thank you, I was starting to think I had lost all reading comprehension skills when reading these comments, since the book sounded to me to be BLASTING homosexual behavior and that makes it all the more perplexing that conservative media will not cover it.
