Ben Franklin, Where Are Thee? Urban Poverty Law Center Cries Out!

"Printers are educated in the belief that when men differ in opinion both sides ought equally to have the advantage of being heard by the public; and that when truth and error have fair play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter: Hence they cheerfully serve all contending writers that pay them well, without regarding on which side they are of the question in dispute." Ben Franklin

I am reading a biography of Ben Franklin by H.W. Brands and here in this one statement writ by Mr. Franlkin about 250 yrs ago sums up the problem we have in modern day politics in America.

Both sides of the opinion are not addressed fully by todays equivalency to the Printers of Franklin's times, the Media.

Liberal progressive bias stains all that it touches with its haughty condescending attitudes towards the tax payer and patriot.

Lois Lerner of the IRS and her full frontal assault on the Tea Party is as a direct affront to freedom of speech as one can get and it was perpetrated at a time in our political discourse to encourage the most mischief.

Her actions possibly changed the will of the people who were not free to hear both sides of the opinion. How can truth and error battle on equal footing if only error is presented in the public arena?

The republic, if we can keep it, is being fundamentally transformed by a malignant media bias. The new minority is the Tea Party. The new Klan is the democrat party and its big government alies in the unions and its cobbled together coalition of the super rich elites of Hollywood and the new media types like that Facebook bubble head and his Google eye in the sky thief who spy on everybody ad lib.

I suggest these chaps take a page out of Ben Franklin's book and leave the social engineering to the people who vote.

Freedom when lost is lost for all.

The "Printers" of today need to take a close look at their actions. The consequences to this republic are devistating.


Todays Printers chastise the Tea Party members of the House of Representatives for holding out for truth against the huge error of the completely misnamed Affordable Health Care Act, the only part of the name which bears any truth is "ACT", because it is all an act, an act of thieft from the young, healthy, and the productive to the sick and idle.

I include the bureaucrats of the government in this idle group.

I contend it is not what Lois Lerner has done for this country but more to the point of what has she wrought against its most productive citizenry and patriots who only wish for equal treatment under the law.

With the current administration and its puppets in the media they have neither the representation they deserve or the service their taxes pay for, and waiting for this media to preform its watchdog function over governmental abuse is in vain.


Really Lois, really? Is taxation with fair representation too much to ask for in today's world?

Lois, you are as foolish as you look in your testimony in front of the congress and the American people. If you had any pride you would fall on your sword, or travel to Alaska next spring and float out to sea on the next spring thaw on a large enough chunk of ice to give you time to make peace with your God and beg forgiveness from the country and the people you have wronged.

Benedict Arnold, make room for Lois Lerner, for with her assault against Americans and in particular the Tea Party, she has earned her position along side you with America's notorious traitors!

Lois Lerner you have lost face. In Franklin's time you would be tarred and feathered. But these are not those times and you are safe in your den of theives, your realm of rascals, your union of government workers. I believe you should be taunted everywhere you go with public ridicule.

Come clean with the American people, Lois. Claiming the 5th admendment while actively denying others their 1st amendment rights is delightfully filled with ironies.

Truly, today some pigs are more equal than others! Time for you to appear before the congressional committee and squeal, Lois, squeal like only you can. You know what needs to be learned to correct the mistakes currently being made by the fools who would be kings and view all but themselves as simpletons.

And as they say, the band played on!

Is it time to start a war to distract the people in America from the real threats to freedom? Lois, what a piece of work you've turned out!
