Howdy all! I usually like to start with a little humor that is not necessarily political in nature. But I must say, when I read that the Solicitor General did worse today against the State of Arizona than he did against the States over Obamacare, I had a good laugh. Even Justice Sotomayor had issues with the feds. WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO! So much common sense being thrown around like, like, COMMON SENSE! Even Liberals are being infected!
Any hoo,..
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. ~ Proverbs 3:13
If by the liberty of the press were understood merely the liberty of discussing the propriety of public measures and political opinions, let us have as much of it as you please: But if it means the liberty of affronting, calumniating and defaming one another, I, for my part, own myself willing to part with my share of it, whenever our legislators shall please so to alter the law and shall chearfully consent to exchange my liberty of abusing others for the privilege of not being abused myself." --Benjamin Franklin, 1789
Isn’t cool how the founders all had a flare with words? Just read Franklin’s quote for today. It’s a bit hard to decipher. But in essence he says, “I don’t want to be associated with the lamestream media if all they are going to do is tear people down, instead of using the freedom of the press to tell the truth.” Imagine if he was alive today. What would he say? Actually, I think we all know what he’d say, so I’ll leave it at that. But just imagine the wisdom he could offer to the media? How joyful would the media become to be able to share the wisdom and experience of one Benjamin Franklin? How joyful would we all be?
Take care, God bless,
AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
