This is a new blog that celebrates and values the opinion of conservatives and people of faith. It is our opinion that The Richmond times Dispatch is hostile to our values. Recently the Editor of the opinion page of the Times Dispatch picked a group of advisers to help her decide on content of the editorial page. The group seems to be left leaning which would give them the opportunity to promote their world views, which do not mesh with conservatives and people of faith. You may recall not too long ago a conservative columnist said some things the editor did not like and there was talk the newspaper would drop that columnist from editorial page. We do not remember who the columnist was and if he or she is no longer allowed to express their opinion in the local newspaper. This is one example of hostility to conservative values. The newspaper seems to be promoting what is called LGBT behavior and in one recent editorial the author took to attacking conservatives who do not embrace their life- styles by referring to those conservatives using words like bigots and homophobia. The old adage is first we tolerate, then we accept and then we embrace. The fourth step is then we promote which is what we think the Times Dispatch is doing. This so-called LGBT life is condemned in both the Old Testament and the New Testament and conservatives and people of faith have no obligation to join the parade.
Conservatives and people of faith value the laws of the land. The mobs have been raging in Richmond for days setting fires, defacing property, destroying property, looting, cursing and threatening police and the reporters from the Richmond Times Dispatch have been their cheerleaders even claiming these rioters are peaceful protesters. An example a of recent headline in the Times Dispatch, “Some Racial Justice Advocates Take up Arms to Try to Keep Peace in Richmond” Aren’t you impressed? Are they attempting to give dignity to people intent on doing evil by calling them racial justice advocates? How about a little truth in reporting? A truthful headline could be “Rioters Bring Guns to their Mob Gatherings in an Attempt to Intimidate Police.” Another fantasy headline was “Vandals deface the Arthur Ashe statue.” The article talked about a lone man defacing the statue. Perhaps the journalist thought the man was able to clone himself into more than one person, so vandals defaced the statue.
This is a short blog to introduce our goals. Share it with your friends who are conservative or people of faith. Next week we will do an editorial about the mobs in Richmond and it will not be the hugs and kisses approach we feel the Richmond Times Dispatch is giving. We invite you to share your opinion on the blog. Those who have a talent for writing and would like to write an editorial promoting the values of conservatives and people of faith we welcome.
