“What is truth?” Said Pilate while deciding the fate of Jesus. This question has confronted us since forever, and today it’s more clearly in focus as the advocacy press, both left and right, give us only half truths, untruths, and ‘misinformation’ to manipulate the mob. The Free Press struggles through all the fog to try to find objective truth. Much appreciated; thank you. A proud subscriber.

You are absolutely right! What stuns and puzzles me is nobody researches anything. All it takes is some wild eyed, chin drooler to get up on a soap box and scream a lie and the lemmings take his/her rants as the God’s truth and the next thing you know the lemmings are demonstrating in the streets carrying signs, shouting through bull horns and burning books.
This reminds me of the old black and white news reels of the NAZIs marching down the streets by the thousands, carrying torches and burning book. What these hate fill left wing morons are doing is, seems to me, the equivalent of Kristallnacht.
I wrote an essay months ago on this BBS saying liberals aren’t liberal. What is happening to Rowling proves my point.
Do we have nut cases on the right? Of course we do but it seems to me they aren’t as vocal and there doesn’t seem to be as many of them as there are left wing fanatics. Perhaps it is because the left has the news outlets in their pockets and the right just doesn’t get the coverage.
However, when was the last time you saw where the right wing nuts got people fired, losing their livelihood or where entire groups of people and companies got canceled?
The left wing insanity is dangerous folks and we need more people like Bari to fight this cancer.
The left hates people like J.K. Rowling who overcome adversity. Rowling was a real victim of spousal abuse who didn't wallow in her victimhood but through hard work and talent she became the most successful author in history, bar the Bible.
Her success wasn't through government handouts. She did something the left hates. She rose above her above her situation all on her own. If you listen to the left, we are all victims and we need government help to survive.
The left hates individualists who stand on their own two feet.
Rowling is fortunate. Her success and livelihood doesn't depend on these hateful, narrowminded assholes. She is rich enough to stand on her own and tell her critics to go f themselves and hope she does.
I agree Rowling was unjustly accused. But I have to add that all my liberal friends and I have the full set of Harry Potter on our kids’ bookshelves, and now grandkids’ bookshelves. So please don’t lump all of us into the wagon with squeaky wheels! Also, plenty of right wing conservatives hate HP and even wanted the series banned in schools because they “promote witchcraft, magic and sorcery”.
There was a religious nut case in Houston about 50 years ago who wanted to ban Hamlet and Tarzan from school libraries. She was an ignoramus. She hadn't read any of the Tarzan books because if she had she would have found out that Tarzan married Jane in book two.
Hamlet is considered one of the greatest literary works in the English language if not the greatest. Unlike the left wing nuts who condemn everyone who disagrees with them and get national coverage and ruin people's lives, no one paid attention this Houston nut case. BTW I think she is still around. Someone needs to put her in a white rap around jacket.
The right wing fanatics are just as crazy as the left wing nut cases. But it seems to me the left wing nutz are more influential on a national scale. True right wing nutz are banning books in conservative states and counties but I don't think nationally they have the umph that the left has.

This is a rich discussion with considerable depth and width.
Can the left destroy the parasite that is eating from within. I don't think so. The left is running as fast as it can toward Communism.

I agree. I think, the left wing loons far out number the right wing loons.
