Thoughts Of The Day

Adverse people often say bad things about those who uphold and enforce the law.  Americans dumped the British Monarchy so we can live under The Rule Of Law. Maxine Waters apparently opposes The Rule Of Law.  We hanged a bunch of opponents of The Rule Of Law at Nuremberg after The Second World War.  Perhaps we should erect the gallows once again.  

Hardcore realists are being called "transphobic."  No.  Reality is real.  Some people haven't learned to live with this fact.  Monsters don't realize they're monsters.

The Media in the context of a political contest has a function similar to that of a witness in a criminal trial.  By committing perjury the witness prevents the jury from issuing a correctly informed verdict.  The results of which are wrong, such as the conviction of an innocent individual, and could be disastrous, like the acquittal of a murderous psychopath.  Thus the act of perjury must be treated as a punishable crime.  Similarly, when the Media misinforms the electorate the result can be disastrous.  Such as the election on an individual who is philosophically and experientially unfit to hold the office.  But we're not supposed to hold reporters and publishers responsible for those destructive actions.

The point of having a First Amendment was that the voters would be properly informed about their elected officials and those who were seeking public office.  Instead we have an Established Media whose members have, on the basis of party affiliation, slandered a sitting president and refused to report on the malignant behavior of a presidential candidate.  This is a gross and deliberate violation of the public trust. And while this wouldn't necessarily bring about a repeal of the First Amendment it may cause some to interpret it in a manner that's less tolerant of the present forms of media malfeasance.

Why don't I call for Censorship?  Censorship is an exercise of state power carried out with the credible threat of deadly force.  Censorship is an act that reduces Human Beings to the effective status of livestock.  It's time we build the Joseph Goebbels Memorial Gallows for those members of the Fourth Estate who insist on inciting violence against innocent people.  There's simply no excuse for such behavior.
