    Blame the US media for insisting that liberals are left.

    In the USA, I find one of the most troublesome “media” is the Levant double-imported Bible. And the “USA media” who teaches that Bible without any regard for verse “1 John 3:17”. They actually think that the Bible is “right” and “extreme capitalism”… and avoid teaching “1 John 3:17”.

    The same awful media teachers I have mostly encountered in my 50+ years in the USA also seem to think gender matters above all else and can’t find verse “1 John 4:20” or “Galatians 3:28” in the media book they claim to follow. I question their ability to interpret all media when I can flip to “1 John 3:17” (2000 years to get that book right) as they praise Fox News as “factual news”.

      sounds pretty superstitious of you to talk about versions of the Bible ngl

        The Founding Fathers edited and produced their own Bible in the year 1820.

        There is nothing magical or supernatural about anything on earth, including the imported Bible form the Levant. It’s just a book, and you can teach it correctly. They don’t know how to read or interpret ANYTHING (including The Constitution). They think Fox News is factual.

            Take your pick: in public schools they don’t teach The Great Seal to students, social media ignores it in favor of blind faith in “left vs. right” street gang philosophy, universities don’t seem to do it, so-called churches don’t read right, TV news doesn’t, newspapers don’t.

            I live in a nation where Donald Trump walks around waving a Bible in his hand and not one (supposedly education) person can say “verse Matthew 6:5”. They clearly have no reading comprehension when it comes to any media. They just chase signals of media, blindly.

            The verses are numbered, you can say an exact quote in the Bible by line number, and they still can’t do it (Trump is there waving The Bible around for a camera, it’s right here in the book). Something very wrong with their reading comprehension here.

                it’s what they could agree on at the time. The Great Seal was the master plan to last thousands of years. The Constitutions was made to be rewritten, revised, a rolling release that goes along with The Enlightenment (science). It’s a lot of hard work to keep it current and on-course in basic prose true to the era, and that work has largely been forgotten and abandoned.

                The Great Seal is written in art symbolism, way beyond the Constitution and laws.

                    People like short sound bites. People don’t resist advertising. Why wasn’t every preacher in the USA sharing verse Matthew 6:5 when Trump was holding his Bible up for a photo opportunity?

                    Reacting to media is not understanding media. They do not demonstrate reading comprehension at all. They should be grossly offended, not chanting like blind sheep.

                    People all around me in the USA are praising fascism ideas and don’t have any self-awareness that they are blindly following media signals. They can’t even catch up to 1940’s symbolism problems, their education has not prepared them for this media-filled electronic world.
