I find it pathetic that so few journalists in what we euphemistically call “the mainstream media” know this, care about it or abide by it.
This is one of many reasons America is losing its liberty.
The presidency, the Congress and the Supreme Court are rarely at odds with each other in any meaningful way. Government grows way beyond its constitutional limits daily despite the checks and balances that were ingeniously put in place by our founders to prevent that tendency.
And, worse yet, the media don’t expose this lawlessness. Rather, they cheerlead it.
When was the last time you heard, read or saw someone in the press – outside of WND, an institution specifically established to serve with conviction the central role of a free press in a free society – expose unconstitutional growth and power grabs by the federal government?
It’s hard to remember, isn’t it?
How did journalism lose its way?
Like most other cultural institutions in America, it was taken over, subverted, undermined and sabotaged by an ideology that simply doesn’t believe in constitutionally limited government, that simply doesn’t believe people are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that simply doesn’t believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that simply doesn’t believe in self-government.
You can seek national salvation in politics for the next 100 years, but it won’t come unless you comprehend the full picture of what went wrong in America – and how its enviable vision was betrayed.
