Home Front: Culture Wars
No Child Is Safe In The Culture Wars
2019-01-28
[Red State] When it comes to the culture wars, the Left has taken off the gloves and rewritten the rules of engagement. In some respects, their actions make sense: there are still just too many "bitter clingers" out there who are, at the end of the day, simply "deplorable." It should then come as no surprise that even children and families of those involved in these "difference of opinions" wars are now the targets of Leftist vitriol.

We can juxtapose media coverage of attacks on conservative or Republican leaders in restaurants, book stores and even at their homes against coverage of the recent Covington Catholic High School controversy. An attack on Rand Paul that left him with broken ribs garnered nowhere near the attention a smiling high school student received. Many of those in the Resistance were quick to rush in even after facts and over 1-3/4 hours of video surfaced that contradicted the lies perpetrated by Chief Bad Teeth, Nathan Philips. As a result, an entire student body has been slurred and portrayed as a breeding ground of neo-Nazism complete with doctored black face pictures and alleged Nazi hand salutes. The lives of students have been threatened.

When you have crazy moonbats like Maxine Waters basically encouraging people to punch others in the face and harass them wherever they may be, including filling a gas tank at a gas station, this is to be expected. But, sadly, this is not a strictly American phenomena. In Great Britain, 51 men were recently arrested and interrogated in connection of allegations of gang rapes occurring in West Yorkshire. You will not find too many stories on this in the British media beyond a 200-word buried article in The Mirror. The reason is simple: those arrested were Muslim. The British press is particularly susceptible to this journalistic technique. Stories of this nature are scrubbed of references to anything "Muslim" or noting the country of origin of the perpetrators. If they do mention anything, then it is depicted as "Asians." Months pass and one eventually learns in passing that the convicted had names, usually with the word "Muhammed" in it. But by then, the story has died a slow death.

#2  I think it's getting to be time to encourage people to punch journalists and progressive politicians in the face. What should the bag limit be?

#1  Well, I think a jot of the "journalists" advocating for punching kids probably don't have kids of their own (not an excuse for their assholerie) I think a lot of the celebrities advocating for punching kids either don't have kids or like kids in a way that a normal person can't abide.

In any event, the ones that do have kids ALL need chronic visits from CYS to make sure they are not punching their kids. And if they do, their previous advocacy for punching kids should go against them at sentencing time.

As an aside, let's be careful using the term children for teenagers. Though semantic hairs can certainly be split, remember 25 year old gang bangers were statistically considered "children" in BJ Clinton era violence studies.
