   “. . . and what happened to journalism as we knew it.” ? , Sharyl :

   We have never known journalism as it
   had been BEFORE Marxian Abraham
   Lincoln threatened and beat and jailed
   newspaper editors and reporters, North
   and South, who had refused to hide
   TRUTH/Facts about his war against the
   Founders’/Framers’ Constitution of
   Moral Liberty and Moral self-determination.

   Sharyl, watch this movie—as “His Girl Friday”
   gives a short monologue describing what
   she felt the life of a journalist was really like. :

   “Cary Grant plays a scheming unprincipled Newspaper editor who has lost his best reporter who also happens to be his ex-wife. I am not sure whether he brings it off, but he is not the central figure. Rosalind Russell plays his ex-wife with a mixture of worldliness and whimsicality; a woman in love with love who comes alive when reporting.”

     P.S.

     Sharyl,,

     Why did I use the term, “Moral Liberty,” above ?

     Explained in here (( keep in mind, O’Reilly thinks
     he’s a “libertarian”; and remove my essay, after
     you’ve copied it to paper )) :

     Immoral Pursuit of Happiness

     - What Thomas Jefferson Meant by "Liberty" -

     Social conservatives stupidly refrain from using the term, "moral," whenever speaking or writing about the Founders' values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, which values Thomas Jefferson never would have deigned to separate from the idea of moral virtues ((Note: The term, "moral," relates to the issue of right vs. wrong, which issue is critical to building and maintaining high-culture civilization, and which issue may or may not be directly related to any religious thought system)).

     "Life" and "liberty" and "pursuit of happiness" have been misconstrued for decades to mean "libertine"—borrowing from my essay, “Name of the Beast” :

     “do your own thing,”
     “it’s just another lifestyle,”
     “don’t be a bigot,”
     “don’t discriminate,”
     “don’t be judgmental,”
     “live and let live,”
     “don’t be a prude,”
     “don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it,”
     “if it feels good, do it,”
     “they’re just like you and me,”
     “people everywhere are the same,”
     “who’s to say what’s right or wrong?”
     “it’s a victimless crime,”
     “it’s none of your business . . .”

     Moral Freedom Underpins the Founders' America

     If the Founders had had any idea that the meaning of "moral" would be separated from the very reasons for their nation's founding, they'd have always referred to "moral life" and "moral liberty" and "moral pursuit of happiness."

     Moral freedom is what the Constitution was designed to protect, not Hustler magazine or abortion-on-demand slaughterhouses or homosexual "rights" or crude, vile and violent sitcoms and movies.

     "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal [this has n o t h i n g to do with differences in heritable talents exhibited between men and women, between child and adult, between racial groups, between intra-racial ethnic groups, or between any two individuals, but relates an idea of equality of spiritual being among humans, as bestowed by the Creator, which idea was meant by Jefferson to answer the question of whether some humans may lack a soul, and which essence of the idea is found in equal justice - not equal outcome - under the rule of law], that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are [Moral] Life, [Moral] Liberty, and the [Moral] pursuit of Happiness."
     –Declaration of Independence

     Libertarians' Intellectual Folly

     Too many economic conservatives are libertarian in their "thinking," which philosophy really is infantile and wrong.

     One need only trace the idea of social man being hatched from "individualistic" and savage beginnings to uncover libertarians' fatal flaw: that any individual man was ever able to be born and survive physically and emotionally by his own devices.

     Adam was a social being in his relationship with his Creator. No man has ever been a rugged individualist. Individual initiative has been extremely important to Man's progress, but initiative has never been taken outside the context of social intercourse—at some vital level.

     Libertarians' d u m b e s t idea is this: "What you do is okay with me, so long as it doesn't injure me or anyone else."

     How is it possible to do anything without affecting someone? Even a micro event like, say, an ant pissing in the woods may, according to quantum mechanics, affect macro events.

     For example, a libertarian might argue that he won't hurt me by practicing, say, autoerotic asphyxiation in his home. But he d-o- e-s risk harming me and others by his private risk-taking.

     If he gets careless, the stench from his rotting body may get my attention and ruin a good meal, or I might look through his window to see why his mail is stacking up and be forever troubled by the gruesome sight. And the community often must absorb some or all of the cost of tending to such a tragedy.

     Libertarians refuse to see that there's virtually nothing we do in private that doesn't ripple out to affect all of society—if not directly, then by spreading immorality ((we all teach others what we believe by our words and our deeds)) or by the taxes expended to clean up, after their "privacy" gets out of hand.

     Libertarians will tout legalization of drugs until their libertine neighbors get stoned and apply libertarianism in, say, molesting their child or slashing a relative to pieces in an hallucinatory fit of anger or running down grandma walking in the neighborhood.

     Social conservatives must work to convert economic conservatives back to rational thinking (otherwise referred to as "common sense"), to abandon their childish and destructive libertarianism, which necessarily leads to libertine lawlessness.

     Cultural Man's moral needs and freedoms must trump Economic Man's libertine needs and freedoms, else no good and lasting economy or culture is possible. Libertarians become libertine immoralists by their childish philosophy of "live and let live," which philosophy works to destroy high-culture civilization wherever applied.
