Cause du Jour


Why is it that only liberals seem to have causes that they will stage emotive protests for: legalize marijuana, "women's reproductive rights," equal pay, transgender bathrooms, black lives matter, dump Trump Women's March, safe spaces, #MeToo, down with Civil War monuments, save the planet, bam guns, no tax cuts, open borders, same sex marriage, evil white privilege, eliminate ICE? The list goes on and on and on. As soon as the emotion drains out of one cause, another one steps in to take it's place. Do not these fulminaters have anything else to do with their empty lives? Must our media always have a weekend protest or boycott or diatribe to headline? It all seems very artificial and superficial to this observer.

Are these real grassroots protests or is this a lot of AstroTurf ... ginned-up crowds comprised mostly of many Soros-paid actors ... or  rent-a-mobs? (There are agencies which will actually rent you a spittle-flecked mob for any cause you want. How cynical can you get?)

The free-speech, save the whales and free-love activists of our youth seem so much more tame and naive than the cause du jour gauntlets we are forced to endure these days. What's next? "Green cards  for all the jihadists'  children?" Spare me!

Perhaps it is passion for doing the right thing that draws people to the streets, as opposed to soul-less, saliva challenged gollums who spew invective from their internet-connected caves, cursing the darkness. This "paid mob" meme is getting a bit old. Fake news promoted by Fox and Friends.

You talkin' to me? Actually, I think a lot of the imparts for these demonstrations comes from the social-media cave dwellers ...

Ha ha ha This bogus article was written by a paid flak for the anti-union group, with absolutely no proof. Is this your paid mob evidence? Hah.

This comment itself is fake ... done by Romanian hackers working in Baltimore ... paid by Soros' nephew ...
