New York Times Gets Another Story Very Wrong - This Time it’s about Marriage

""Anyone who dares contradict the findings of my husband's New York Times or his Boston Globe shall receive thirty days jail in civil contempt.""

Can you cite a specific source for this quote? Sure hope you can. I want this one for my "Voice of Tryanny" file.

I was fooled once again, because I failed to apply dsc's first law: All liberals lie all the time.

This should be very clear to all Freepers: The NYTpromotes the homosexual agenda whenever it can. This story was to disrespect Christian marriage. Their plan is to replace Christian marriage with queer-unions. They are well on their way to success. Keep your powder dry!

Maybe but, on the other hand, some said the same about Ronald Reagan's use of the term "evil empire"

Personally, I'd favor making the reading of Harvest of Sorrow or something fairly similar to it compulsory in publicly funded in high schools since apparently kids aren't otherwise being exposed to the truth about applied Marxism.

Medved did a great job on cleaning their clock on this one. Wish he could lay off a bit on the Corsi thing.

[Go Gordon]

Roberts even put the Old Grey Lady in the Not Married column.

The NY Times wants to undermine and diminish conventional marriage because their signature issue is gay "marriage." If they can't have it for their swishy constituency, they'll sour-grape it for everybody.

I couldn't agree more with Medved on Corsi.
It's unfortunate that, just as WND seemed to be regaining a bit of its overall credibility, Farah opted to provide a platform for Corsi's tiresome re-hash of paranoid warmed-over 'North American Union' conspiracy theories.
(If only WND would stick to the socially conservative & Mid-East related issues where it generally does a quite commendable job !!!)

Although, in fairness, it could be argued that it's somewhat easier for us up in Canada to see through this sort of xenophobic moonbat nonsense since, unlike Stateside where you've got them coming at you from both extreme ends of the political spectrum, virtually all of our ultra-nationalist wackos reside way, way out in left field.

In my view, if one hasn't read Robert Conquest's "Harvest Of Sorrow" and "The Great Terror", it's debatable if they should even be calling themselves a conservative.

To me, the most amazing thing about Conquest is this: after the fall of the USSR and the opening of the archives, he was rare among historians in revising his work. And he was even rarer in finding that he didn't need much revision at all: Even under the restricted-information climate of the seventies and eighties, he wrote deadly accurate work. (See, "The Great Terror: A Reassessment" -- which, when the publishers quibbled on the title, he suggested could be called "I told you so, you [expletive deleted] fools.")

This, in an era where most "historians" were content to fluff the Soviet dictator du jour.

Sure, it's a digression on this thread, but it's nice to see that being the only Conquest admirer for miles around doesn't mean I'm the only Conquest admirer! I'd say I'm in damned good company.

"jouranlistic malpractice" -- great slogan.

[Rosie405]

Democrats, liberals, and Big Media in general have a huge anti-marriage agenda. The more people they can convince to follow this lifestyle, the more votes they have, and the more customers they have for their newspapers and television news shows. Period. These groups LOVE the single, unmarried woman, either gay or straight. Single mothers are heroes to this crowd. Ever spent much time in an Episcopal Church (particularly in a blue state or any large metropolitan area), in a college faculty lounge, or a Democratic political rally? If you’re a long-time married, and particularly married to #1, chances are, you’re going to feel like an outsider!

Chief Judge Anthony Lewis-Margaret Marshall(S.Africa, Democrat, NewYorkTimes, SJC-Massachusetts): "Anyone who dares contradict the findings of my husband's New York Times or his Boston Globe shall receive thirty days jail in civil contempt."

And here we have the clearest evidence that Liberals/Democrats WANTS to create Fascist State!!

And to think how ironically the mantra of the Leftist is always "Bush Lies".

We know who is actually lying.

Since we're both such fans of Conquest, I figured I better check out your FR homepage.
Now my hat's off to you sir for your service in Afghanistan.
I was initially exposed to Harvest of Sorrow after marrying the daughter of a former Ukrainian freedom fighter ( one of Stepan Bandera's boys) & finding that within the anti-communist Ukrainian diaspora Conquest, for it and his other works, was literally right up there with Saint Volodymyr as a hero of free Ukraine.

Although you may enjoy this whole thread, you may especially appreciate this article Ghosts In The Hills which I linked in my initial comment since it's related to & from the same source as the posted one.

It's the take of one of our boys on serving in Afghanistan & additionally has several nice turns of phrase which you'll likely appreciate as a wordsmith in your own right.

You may also enjoy this one about the marvelous send off given yesterday to some of our Troops as they departed for their latest tour in Afghanistan.

Has the Times replied back to this story and their presentation of the facts?

[Criminal Number 18F]

Quite uncanny. I spent a great deal of time in the company of Czech exiles. Many of them were literary folk, and their main outlet was based in your country; "Sixty-Eight Publishing" for obvious reasons.

My folks recently bought me some books from Prague, and behold one was published by "68," now re-established in Free Czechia.

I'm broadly familiar with Bandera and with the abortive US/UK attempts to assist him and other partisans in the late forties and fifties. I believe there is a story or two in the unclas version of Studies in Intelligence (the CIA house historical magazine, the unclas version is available online). Watch the UK's National Archives, too; although they are much slower about declassifying stuff than we are. The oldest classified document in the US Archives is less than 100 years old, and it's the single WWI era document still held back on our side.

On Afghanistan, I have to say I have a lot of admiration for the way the Canadians have conducted themselves. It's easy to forget that Canada is a small country in terms of its population and a young one in terms of independence; it may not have the clout it once did, but it still punches above its weight.

"Has the Times replied back to this story and their presentation of the facts?"

Not that I'm aware and smart money says: 'don't hold your breath waiting for anything even remotely resembling a corporate mea culpa'.

See my comment #5 above with respect to the Slimes still not having satisfactorily resolved its outright denial of Soviet genocide back in the 1930's.

Over the years, much of its known "jouranlistic malpractice" has really only been the tip of the ice burg in the sense that numerous liberal papers all across North America have happily re-printed it's lies & generally never themselves been called to account for having done so.
Toronto's infamous 'red' Star, which in many ways is Canada's equivilent to the Slimes, would likely be at or close to the top of that list.

Did Maureen Dowd write the Times article? I know she's been having so much trouble getting a man lately that she wrote an anti-male book entitled "Are Men Necessary?"

[longtermmemmory]

but it is not dropping fast enough.

There are too many "investors" willing to prop up the NYT regardless of profit and too many willing to advertise in the NYT due to its niche readership.

The only way to end the NYT is to end the ability of people to advertise in it. Perhaps stock holders should ask their corporations why they are wasting money in the NYT?

[GMMAC]

"Did Maureen Dowd write the Times article? ... she's been having so much trouble getting a man lately ..."

Correction: narcissistic whores like Dowd have no trouble attracting men ... it's keeping them that's the real challenge.

BTW & FYI, I just posted the, to me, quite funny Time for a reality check which starts off with some amusing NY Slimes bashing.
