As I’ve said in the past, I tend to hold liberals to a higher standard than conservatives where civility is concerned. People who claim to support social justice should be willing to make a greater effort to display social graces. My thanks to Michael WME for the link so I can have some context for this content. The cartoon is blatantly false. Liberals would never burn that woman WHILE she’s holding her puppy. (bad joke. but I haven’t finished my coffee.)Freedom of speech, and the freedom to say things people deem ignorant, is our right, but not our duty. As far as those who say FOX must be right because they have the most viewers, I’ve read Mr. Murdoch’s biography and his agenda is not an American agenda. He is using the Republicans because they are willing to be used and he is telling a group that actually watches “news tv” what they want to hear in a way that adds to the divisiveness afflicting our nation and our congress. His success has been such that other 24 hour news organizations follow in his wake but with a different slant.It is easy to point out that there have been other organizations, in history and today, who were able to gain a majority of supporters to follow a path that caused/causes great harm to too many. It is only through going deeper and reading the writings of those who offer political opinion; of reading the actual letters and writings of our founders; and of actually educating yourself on issues that one can make rational and intelligent decisions.Don’t believe me. Read for yourself, but remember, if you only read those with whom you agree, you not only don’t step out of the box, you tape it closed.Respectfully,C.
