Reader comments about this quote:

I'm not sure Troy and GB were on the same page. The opposite is also accurate, the totalitarian dictates to and, parroted by the press are a downfall concerning the civil, political and religious right of all man kind. A greater palladium of and for every person is language. By way of example: the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land is actively changing the definitions of words, terms and concepts to further ANTI-liberty/natural/ truth/law/rights/love/nobility of man/peace/prosperity/individual sovereignty/justice's advancement. The power of the pen is most effective (especially from the press) when words, terms and concepts are understood at natural law. -- Mike, Norwalk 3
The trouble is, the Press lost that right sometime ago as they are now the propaganda arm of the CIA/MIC - the real masters behind the curtain. -- Robert, Somewhere in the USA 2
In the absence of Virtue and its necessary concomitants, moral authority and courage, freedom of the press assumes the licentious forms with which we are so familiar today. -- Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3
