    Hate Speech...

    Slander/libel are another matter altogether. Likewise, speech which can cause imminent danger can be prohibited (yelling fire in a theater etc.) Those exceptions are incredibly narrow though. The Brandenburg case I cited earlier severely limits the ability of the state to prosecute people for...

    The Deplatforming of President Trump

    If there was a major market nationwide for progressive talk it would exist. It may be that the market for it only exists in major cities, which is why they have fewer affiliates. It could be that talk radio listeners skew older and that peogressives are more focused on younger audiences who may...

    early Christian versus modern Christian

    It isn't meant to be taken literally. Jesus is merely pointing out that the wealthy have a tendency to put their trust in riches rather than God. Most of the great men of the old testament were wealthy landowners, including Abraham, Job, David, Solomon etc. Wealth isn't the problem, it's putting...

    The Deplatforming of President Trump

    I've never heard of either of these people until today and I'm struggling to come up with any reason why I would research their head to head ratings. I just don't care that much on an individual level. Broadly speaking, conservatives do well on radio and liberals have not done as well. It's not...

    Hate Speech...

    The fact is that here in America what you're describing is protected free speech. Anyone can stand on the sidewalk and say whatever they want, handout pamphlets etc. The only thing that may legitimately run afoul of the law is the blowhorn and then only if there is a noise ordinance which would...

    The Deplatforming of President Trump

    How are you determining these rankings? It isn't through ratings, it's through industry preferences. These preferences include such nebulous terms as courage, impact and potential. It's not that Hartmann is the 8th highest rated show host, it's that the people compiling the list prefer him over...

    The Deplatforming of President Trump

    There is zero evidence any of this is happening. The failure of Air America is exhibit A.

    The Deplatforming of President Trump

    Talk radio is a matter of the free market. The left has tried for decades to counter conservative talk radio, Air America being the biggest failed attempt. The problem isn't that liberals can't get on the radio, the problem is that liberals don't listen to the radio in the same way that...

    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    I would agree with that, the church long ago abandoned Biblical Christianity. The mainline churches adopted higher criticism and scienceism over the gospel. The churches people call conservative today have their roots in the progressive social gospel of the late 19th and early 20th centuries...

    Hate Speech...

    It depends on what we define as hate? Is reciting Leviticus 18:22 hate? According to the left it is. I would submit that the state should stay out of the business of hate speech. It isn't their job to determine what it is, regulate it or punish it.

    The Deplatforming of President Trump

    It's only dangerous on Twitter because they have hundreds of millions of people on their site and are banning one political ideology. If these conservative sites got to the point where they had a near monopoly on social media and started banning one political view, that would be dangerous as...

    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    If Trump is the social norm of our country the church needs to retreat from politics entirely and focus on theology and personal holiness. At least then the church and believers will be set apart from the world around them.

    The Republicans are already losing three out of four elections.

    The Deplatforming of President Trump

    What the tech giants are doing is dangerous but it doesn't need a government response. What it needs are conservatives willing to invest in their own social media sites and internet access sites.

    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    Would it mean losing an election? Sure. However the message would be loud and clear. Nominate upstanding Christians, church members and devout believers, or we won't vote for your candidate. If you think the Republicans wouldn't hear such a message you're crazy. We should have done it in 2008...

    The Deplatforming of President Trump

    False equivalent. Bakeries are a dime a dozen whereas 2-4 tech companies control not only the entire social media world but much of the access to the internet. Furthermore, no one is forcing a tech company to make a product that they are opposed to. My argument all along has been that...

    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    You're calling for antinomianism when it comes to voting, which would be shocking to any 19th century Christian.

    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    The idea that we must toss aside Biblical morality and vote for whatever heathen is put before us because he happens to be right on abortion must be rejected by Christians. As Christians we must apply our faith to all areas of our life, including who we vote for. We must apply Biblical...

    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    You do have an alternative. You can either sit the race out because Trump and Biden are both disqualified from high office from a Christian perspective or you can vote third party as a protest vote.
