Outrage is Currency

By: - August 27, 2018

I honestly can’t keep up with what is and isn’t okay to be outraged by and protest over. Lately, the pendulum (narrative) only swings in one direction—whatever the left says should upset you.

Earlier this year, the Parkland Shooting dominated the news cycle for weeks and no one would let you forget how important the coverage was. Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg couldn’t get enough air time to preach to us ignorant masses of how gun control should and shouldn’t work. Companies like Dick’s and Walmart stopped selling certain guns, and Delta Airlines and Metlife canceled partnerships with the NRA for political currency.

I hear David Hogg even has plans to run for Congress when he turns 25. 

But, when a compound in New Mexico was discovered with missing children who were being trained to commit future school shootings, everyone went silent. Where are David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez with their moral superiority to guide our outrage?

Nowhere.

No one on the anti-gun lobby is interested in the moral outrage of taking children to the desert to train them to be mass murderers. They won’t be coming together for March for Our Lives and won’t be on CNN telling us how horrible training children to commit heinous acts of violence is and that we should have more gun control to stop this.

But, the truth is, they don’t care. This story does nothing to buy political capital.

Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, an extremist whose father is tied to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, was training children in tactics and techniques to kill students, teachers, and first responders. Had Wahhaj not been discovered, there is no telling what could have happened in the future. But, oddly enough, even with the evidence of training for future attacks and the 3-year-old who died from “a ritualistic religious ceremony to cast out demonic spirits” and was found buried next to the compound, the judge chose not to hold them without bail and released them each on $20,000 bail, according to Reuters.

So, where are the social justice warriors? They are hiding behind fake moral superiority and outrage.

Instead, all we get is Cohen pleading guilty to eight counts of criminal conduct and how Mueller is hunting down connections to Russia after 18 months of nothing.

Maybe, if we connect the New Mexico compound to Trump, someone on the left would care.

      MSNBC, the "news" outfit on which the Rev.
