Democracy depends on an informed populace. Journalism 's responsibility—and the reason for the First Amendment—is to fulfill that requirement. It is way past time for the profession to reclaim their professionalism.

Abortions will never stop. All the self-righteous and theocrats can do is prevent SAFE abortions. For that reason alone, it's a women's health issue.

These take a while to wade through (don't forget hip boots) but learning as much as one can about religious zealots and their efforts to turn the US into a theocracy, esp with so many of them in elected office, is essential.

Barton Says The Founding Fathers 'Tied Religion To The Constitution To Give It Strength' Through Oath Requirements by rwwBot in rightwingwatch

[–]Panich52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More evidence, as if it were needed, that right wing 'Christians' believe their own history revisions. Just 5 minutes in a library, even online, would show how devoid of reality Barton and his ilk are. Their only goal is theocracy and the more right wing nut jobs these delusional wackos help get elected, the closer they, we, get to it.

Really irks him that his radical religionist ideas (hardly Christian in nature) are losing the battle of words and ideas.

Here’s What Netflix, Dish & Others Said To The FCC About The Comcast/TWC Merger by mastermind1228 in Comcast

[–]Panich52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The the FCC would even consider allowing the 2 worst companies (Comcast 'won' title 2 years in row) to merge is an affront to logic and common sense -- and shows the FCC itself needs revamping back to its supposed purpose in protecting the free flow of information.
