Thread: Rep. Thomas Massie Stands Up for Covington Catholic Students

Even if the Covington kid was guilty as accused, other kids throughout America were doing worse things to old people … mugging them, punching them, maybe even killing them. Even if caught on video, the media would not show these incidents unless the left found them politically useful. … This framing of the news has gone on for more than fifty years. …

    the Washington Post, CNN, and the rest were prepared to ruin the lives of some adolescents, who had come to Washington to march for life, to score a cheap political point. …
    That’s about it. More than anything, this incident is an indictment of the hypocritical, incompetent, prejudiced, and leftist propaganda spewing mainstream media.

    to be fair, that is questioning thier motives which we do not know. I would assume there is a spectrum of reasons people wear maga


    ...back in 07, when i got my ron paul starter kit (hat tee bumper) I wore it all to U of cincy with pride!
    here is the guy with the answer!

    i was happy someone represented me and i wanted to share it with everyone. Much like after i started chasing the Messiah YESHUA.

    ...and much like then, alot of people didnt like it...


    i would rather be right than popular


    imagine if it was rand and that was us...REALLY think about that.
    its bad enough they tried to kill him twice, what if i couldnt wear my vintage ron paul shirt to kroger

    our clothes are the only public expression we have left and we still insist on being fashion police

    At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?

    Teens playing, as if that's the word for it, the "knock out game" didn't get anywhere the media coverage.

    That's like saying the only reason we wore Ron Paul shirts was to troll.

    Exactly.

    If you are referring to my use of the term “prejudiced”, I use it in it’s original, literal sense, not as a twisted leftist newspeak word.

    Praejudicium (Judgement in advance) of any context or investigation, is exactly what the media and the crazed people on the internet did. He was judged based upon his face, nothing else.

    Both started out as honest support for a candidate.

    You would still be relatively safe with a Ron Paul shirt in the general public, but it would be riskier than say a Bernie Sanders shirt in some neighborhoods. And if you went to a progressive or neoconservative event today, you know you’d be trolling. “Hi Megan (McCain), pleased to meet you! Could you introduce me to to Liz (Cheney) over there? And where’s the birthday boy, Bill (Kristol)?”

    They were not at a progressive event. They were at a pro-life rally on the mall.

    If you accept the premise it was just an 'educational campaign', then that is what they were for.

    So they were trolling those trolls who came to troll them.

    And succeeded beyond their wildest nightmares. God bless 'em, they even managed to troll the mainstream media.

    They were waiting for a bus after petitioning their government. And the hats were probably purchased as souvenirs.

    There were enough individuals there that we're likely both correct. And there was probably a reason or two we haven't thought of.

    The liar Nathan Phillips who claimed to be a marine "recon ranger" is not a Vietnam War Vet. He was never deployed to Vietnam and was a mechanic that went AWOL three times.

    This is awesome! The church reacted soon because they believed the media. What I think is awesome is that if an organization as big as the Catholic Church that rarely apologises unless an army of lawyers advises, if they got burnt-- that means the media now has serious credibility problems in the eyes of many Americans.

    This isn't just a few people saying it's fake news and then buying the next BS story. This is, "the Catholic Church got nailed believing a news story, let's verify before doing anything drastic in the future.". I hope that is the case.

    I truly wish Amash/Massie would run together or at least campaign together for United States President in 2024.
