Liberals Live In A World of Lies and Zero Accountability Lying About Campus Rape Culture

Most men are very decent, and instinctively protective of women. We do not deserve the extremely sexist charge of “all men are potential rapists.” I personally would respond to rape or attempted rape by going all Old Testament on the perpetrator. Most men would do the same. I’m sorry for whatever has been done to these liberal women to make them hate men so strongly, but we are not guilty. There need to be consequences when a journalist lies.

Freedom of Conscience Defending the Right to Discriminate

The right of dissent is the heart of a free society. This is nothing less than statism. We are being told what to believe. Compliance is rewarded. Dissent is punished. This is no America I want to belong to.

We cannot budge on this issue. It’s Roe v Wade all over again.

FAIL Rolling Stone rebuked in independent review of campus rape story

The purpose of journalism is to report facts. Once a journalist or organization injects their opinion (i.e. All men are evil rapists) into a story, it ceases to be journalism and becomes commentary. There was rape at UVA because Rolling Stone magazine WANTED there to be rape at UVA.

Ideally, the purpose of a free press is to act as accountability on behalf of the people by making sure they are all informed as to what their government is doing when they think no one is watching. Now journalism is being forbidden to watch, and the abuses of power just keep coming.

Intriguing. How ‘One Nation’ Didn’t Become ‘Under God’ Until The ’50s Religious Revival

I have long disbelieved the myth of “Christian America”. The idea that my nation could become Christian flies in the face of the whole concept of separation of church and state to which Baptists have historically adhered. We are rather, a nation that permits free expression of religion, and is not, at least until recently, hostile to Christianity, or any other belief system. I think this myth of the “Christian Nation” distracts Christians from actually trying to influence and engage their culture in a positive way, because instead Christians are fighting to preserve a Nation that never really existed.
