‘..That the mainstream media leans overwhelmingly to the Left has long been known; that it shares the hard Left’s taste for authoritarian controls on the freedom of speech has not been so widely noted, but is becoming increasingly clear. Last week both the British Guardian and the New York Daily News published pieces equating truthful and accurate reporting about jihad violence and Islamic supremacism with “hate speech,” and calling for such reporting to be placed beyond the bounds of acceptable public discourse.
……Should they succeed, this year might well prove to be the signpost at which future historians will point and say, “Here marks the end of de facto freedom of expression in the United States of America.”..’               source
The post covers a deal more ground than this excerpt might suggest.

      People are affraid of the truth,affraid because it cuts them to the core.I think that assembly would be a good time to air the 180 Movie since it ties Abortion in with Hitler and facism.

    What is truth?

    Joh 18:29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
    Joh 18:30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
    Joh 18:31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
    Joh 18:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
    Joh 18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
    Joh 18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
    Joh 18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
    Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
    Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
    Joh 18:38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
    Joh 18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
    Joh 18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

    The time is fast approaching [although it has existed in the past; the various inquisitions, etc] when to speak the truth will be a capital crime, quite literally. And just as Christ [who was/is the very embodiment of Truth] was put to death for proclaiming truth, so too will others in this final chapter of human history suffer severe persecution and death for daring to speak the truth.

    Some may have noticed too that while Christ suffered death at the demand of the Jewish spiritual leaders of his day, they requested that a convicted criminal be released in His stead. Do we not see this dynamic at work in today’s society where the genuinely evil, traitorous, murderous, perverse and those who would rape both the mind and the body of young children are elevated in society and regarded as beyond reproach?!!

    Are we not actually living in the very times of which the Bible declares that many shall call evil good, and good evil:

    Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
    Isa 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! [...]
    Isa 5:23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

    There’s a judgement coming, and it’s not far off!

      It’s another one of those things I am conflicted over Kris.I hear my pastor talk of praying for our leaders that they may have divine insight and make better decisions.
      But why should I pray the same prayer for the crooked corrupt evil bunch of heathen many of them are?I believe we have wicked leaders in mass today and I see no reason to pray any nice prayers for them.
      Not when they insist on continuing the sacrifice of innocents on the alter of convenience and immorality.Nobody can tell me that God won’t notice 51,000,000 children killed since 1971 in America,at some point even God’s mercy runs out.Your right payback is coming and it will be terrible.

      So I pray a prayer of protection for the innocent and righteous and pray a prayer of judgement on the wicked,their day is coming soon and it will be only the mercy of God that saves the righteous when it comes.

      I heard this song the other day and it reminded me who it is keeping score-

      I think it’s a good message for our politico’s to hear.
