NEWS ON GUNS, FREEDOM, and LIBERTY

"It is the duty of the NEWSPAPERS to be the watchdogs of liberty."
 
- Benjamin Franklin
 
*****
"It ought also to be remembered that the citizens who inhabit the country at and near the seat of government will, in all questions that affect the general liberty and prosperity, have the same interest with those who are at a distance, and that they will stand ready to sound the alarm when necessary, and to point out the actors in any pernicious project. The public papers will be expeditious messengers of intelligence to the most remote inhabitants of the Union."
 
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist #84
 
*****
"To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and opression."

- James Madison (Report on the Resolutions, 1799).

"The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers ... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper."

- Thomas Jefferson to G. K. van Hogendorp, Oct. 13, 1785. (*) ME 5:181, Papers 8:632.

"The press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood."

- Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Seymour, 1807.

"As for what is not true, you will always find abundance in the newspapers."
   
"Newspapers...serve as chimnies to carry off noxious vapors and smoke."
 
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Thaddeus Kosciusko,  April 2, 1802.
 
"A truth now and then projecting into the ocean of newspaper lies, serves like head-lands to correct our course. Indeed, my scepticism as to everything I see in a newspaper, makes me indifferent whether I ever see one."
 
- Thomas Jefferson, January 1, 1815 letter to James Monroe. [The Works of Thomas Jefferson in Twelve Volumes. Federal Edition. Collected and Edited by Paul Leicester Ford.]
 

"No government ought to be without censors & where the press is free, no one ever will."

- Thomas Jefferson, Sept. 9, 1792 letter to George Washington.

 ..."If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious."
 
 - Teddy Roosevelt, May 12, 1900.

The Arizona Conservative - Arzona is the state in which I reside and I'm about as conservative as they come. So it seemed necessary to post this link. Plus they have good articles and make a LOT of sense:
 
“If John McCain enters the race for president, I will definitely run. John McCain should have forfeited his right to run for president on the Republican Party the moment he put his name on immigration legislation with Sen. Ted Kennedy." – James Gilchrist, co-founder of the Minutemen Project

Free-Market News Network, Corp., FMNN - Technology breaks down regulatory barriers. In the early 21st century, the world, and the West in particular, is seeing convulsive change. While more and more laws are passed and taxes levied in pursuit of public solutions, a groundswell of support for the benefits of private enterprise is evident in numerous websites and blogs on the 'Net.

FreeRepublic.com - In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule...

THAT FREEDOM SHALL NOT PERISH

THE NEW AMERICAN was formed in 1985...AND...is a valuable tool in confronting the liberal, mainstream media. Stories in the news are often used to appeal to our emotions and convince us to gradually surrender our freedoms. For example, another shooting occurs in the nation. Are more gun control measures the best solution to this all-too-common occurrence? You would think so if your only source of information was the nightly news. But what about our Constitution? What exactly was the Founding Fathers' intent when they recognized our right to bear arms?
