THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

  1. Good article on how the media has turned Boko Haram into "Superstar Monsters" http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/19/opinion/boko-haram-media-opinion/

    From Wiki, "Boko Haram, figuratively meaning 'Western education is sin'...is a militant organization known for attacking Christians, Muslims and government targets, as well as for bombing churches, mosques, schools and police stations. The group also kidnaps western tourists and has assassinated members of the Islamic establishment who have criticized the group. Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2002 and 2013." But, as with Benghazi, we can't call their actions terror because the Obama "we have killed bin Laden and have terrorists on the run" narrative would be exposed for the lie of political convenience that it is.

    It is truly shameless that this administration continues to "lead" from behind and then only makes futile, worthless feel-good gestures (hashtag idiocy and Obama is "mad as hell") when the noise of an issue raises to a certain decibel level.
