I dedicate this to Anigav6969. An appropriate quote from history still speaks to freedom lovers today; a reminder that we have a responsibility to stand up if our freedom is threatened:
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or wh**ever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and t***sport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

Cool Breeze. you are at best a plagiarist at worst just another God damn lying l*****t Marxist/democrat who so far has refused to acknowledge you are a Obama loving c****e bastard as is your idol. You rotten bastards work every day to destroy our nation. Are you afraid to respond or are you are a gutless loser who cannot justify such bull s**t. The Alleged 'Defenders Of Christianity' and Patriotic Lovers Of America' are in reality just the opposite! I may have missed it, but I did not find this line in the linked to article. Time and again we have watched these champions of family values exposed as hypocrites and frauds, with addictions to porn, even to child porn, to prostitutes, same and opposite sex, to mistresses on the side (sometimes in other countries), not to mention corruption from Michele Bachmann to Rick Perry to Chris Christie to Jeb Bush all p**********l hopefuls who have more claim to a cell than to the Oval Office. The author Haraldsson, fails to mention the offenses four of them committed and were found guilty of. The varied and repeated displays of immorality by Republican candidates, however egregious, hardly compares to their view of women as nothing more than fertile chattel, who, amusingly, think theyre actual people. Not only do Republicans ignore biblical injunctions against their own behavior, but civil injunctions as well, even those set firmly in the United State Constitution. Somehow, everybody is guilty but them. If they are caught, they are not guilty, but persecuted. Victims of witch hunts, like those poor Duggars.
Nearly twenty centuries of destroying every alternative to itself under its belt, and even while they try to strip rights from women, gays, lesbians, and t*********rs, to listen to these self-appointed representatives of the worlds largest religion, they are the ones being persecuted. Shameful! Speaking of moral authority, you are yourself guilty of plagiarism by not crediting the author of the underlined statements. http://www.politicususa.com/2015/06/06/reject-absolute-moral-corruption-republican-cult.h...
I find the article your link goes to, to be in many cases a fine example of not just moral corruption, but corruption of about anything one could think of. The author however lives in a left leaning glass house and there are many stone throwers looking to break another hypocrite's glass house. Most all people, no matter how moral or upstanding cannot live up to and do not live up to the Ten Commandments. You are using a moral authority that even you cannot live up to to condemn others. It's kind of like you are using the Cloward/Piven strategy against Republicans, but inadvertently you d**g your own l*****t Marxist/democrats down right along with the Republicans and yourself. It's hard to hold the high ground when you are just as immoral as the worst among us.
Some one else mentioned this as yellow journalism, I say it's yellow journalism at its finest! My hat's off to the previous poster who made mention of the term.
