How To Live Under An Unqualified President by John Piper

I know Islam allows one, to have sex with slave women. Yes, a biker gang will commit a gang rape. And some of the women, who hang around them - believe it or not - actually encourage and like it. Go figure.

And here’s a good article, on the MS13 gang at 6 Common Misconceptions About the MS13 Street Gang. Let me quote an element, from the article:

I recommend these books - available on Amazon:

Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws: My Infiltration of America’s Deadliest Biker Gangs by Charles Falco
Hell’s Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga by Hunter S. Thompson

Jersey Tough: My Wild Ride from Outlaw Biker to Undercover Cop by by Wayne “Big Chuck” Bradshaw

An outlaw is an outlaw. One needs to be kept out if possible, one needs to be hunted down and brought to social justice. Though the bike drifter noticing the gal’s southern region is a cool GIF. :laughing:

Well since it is an unimpeachable source such as CNN we must believe it.
Oh well. Do a google search and see the blatant lying at CNN, see the deranged opinion people on that station, etc. and take their story with a huge grain of salt.

The ACA was passed in a shameful manner, against the wishes of the majority of Americans.

OK. Suppose I am a journalism major, from some Ivory league school. And I also served in the military, as a staff reporter. And I get a job, for the New York Times. And I been assigned, to write a piece on the president. Or some political event, like the current Republican, health care bill. And I’m some right wing, Republican nut job. And I have a picture of Rush Limbaugh, on my desk cubicle.

Now I am also a Roman Catholic or Baptist. And believe in God, American, the flag, the military and apple pie. I write a story, which the editor thinks is great. Does my story get printed or not? Or does some conspiracy factor, in the New York Times management hierarchy, have me change the story? And who (for example), tells me what to write and how to write it?

Where (from the standpoint, of the right wing Republican, Christian, ex-military, Ivory League reporter), does the story get changed?

Tell, me - oh wise ones (i.e. David and Steve). Or perhaps I should address you both, as wise guys :question: I really don’t know, the correct term - that applies here… :confused:

Where and how, does the reporter’s story, get changed or distorted :question:

Well, first of all, the idea that we were formed in this country (USA) as a ‘Democracy’ would suggest you might need to go back to history class. Look up ‘Republic’ and see what you find.

Second of all, the crack about the mental health is exactly what folks on the left are doing. There is a insistence on near violent (or at least repulsively personal attack) response to anything that the opposite side is saying… You/they should be ashamed and I think there is an apology needed here. :unamused:

But you do what you think you need to do.

HFPZ - are you just trolling here? I would think that a moment’s reflection on your part would answer all those questions. And you’re a very smart HFPZ.

No, I am NOT trolling. We can even substitute a real person. Let’s take Doug Ernest, for example. He has his own blog at douglasernst.blog/. He’s an ex-Army, Republican, Roman Catholic and masters degree holder- in political science. And a very good writer. Suppose he gets a job, with the New York Times. And he writes a story, on the current Republican, health care bill. What happens to his story? How would it get changed or distorted? I want to understand the process, from an individual, reporter’s perspective.

Or, if we are talking philosophy…I want to understand this process, from an existential, phenomenological perspective.

Or pretend I am Curly, of the Three Stooges. Explain it, so that even I can understand it.

Walk me through it :exclamation: :confused:

That is the problem. The spirit of civil society, as you speak of is the voice of political correctness. That is the very thing that a REPUBLIC form of government was designed to defend against. As much as you may not like the reality. :blush:

Can you give some examples of this political correctness, which you find harmful?

With the San Bernadino terrorists the husband was making bombs in his parents garage and some neighbors suspected this but didn’t report it because they were afraid of being labeled “Islamophobic.”

How about this one :question: :laughing:

This is a good summary if we are in the mood for 10 minutes’ reading.

That doesn’t show “political correctness” being an actual issue. Democratic public officials aren’t trying to outlaw “islamophobia”.

That wasn’t your question. It was can you show where PC was harmful ? Here people died because the neighbors were afraid of being labeled. I didn’t mention Democrats.

qaz there are hundreds of examples found with a simple google search. I don’t see why we have to do the work for you, really.

For instance, I googled ‘examples of political correctness’ and the first result was this:
infowars.com/19-shocking-ex … g-america/

Take some initiative and read those and then if you aren’t happy, read the other few hundred results.

Well, this forum thread is like the story, “Goldilocks and the 3 bears”.

Some like to sleep, in the papa bear bed (i.e. right wing) - which Goldilocks finds too hard.
Some like to sleep, in the mama bear bed (i.e. extreme left) - which Goldilocks finds too soft.

And she ends of sleeping, in the baby bear bed (i.e. somewhere in the middle - like I am). Which she finds just right.

And those taking the extreme bed positions - just keep on complaining :exclamation: :laughing:

Truth be told “unfair” is a leftist mantra! Part of the social justice movement. Not that i’m against social justice but the left has there own version.
Their vision is “equal outcome” whereas mine is “equal opportunity.”

BTW i’m laughing my “Ossoff.”

"Fake news has come to mean a lot of things these days. But the definition that the right and the left can both agree on is sites that just make up things for money. NPR pursued the “godfather” of some of these fake news sites and discovered that he’s a lefty who’s doing this to undermine conservatives.

The sites include NationalReport.net, USAToday.com.co, WashingtonPost.com.co. All the addresses linked to a single rented server inside Amazon Web Services. That meant they were all likely owned by the same company.

“The whole idea from the start was to build a site that could kind of infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right, publish blatantly fictional stories and then be able to publicly denounce those stories and point out the fact that they were fiction,” Coler says.

So we’ve got sites hosted by a company run by the owner of the Washington Post which are run by a guy whose stated goal is to plant fake news stories to undermine the right.

NPR eats this up with a jumbo spoon, but the underlying admission is that the fake news problem has the same source as the mainstream media’s fake news problem. Hostility to conservatives.

While the mainstream media pushes fake news to liberals, guys like this plant fake news on the right to sow chaos and undermine conservative news consumers. The fake news problem, from the top down, is a left-wing propaganda problem. " - frontpagemag.com/point/26706 … greenfield

Definitely a left wing tact. I get these tweets almost daily with 90% of it being false, really “false news” is a better description and as you said it’s about the money! What does the bible say about “money?”
