Newtown Versus Watertown

What is the difference?

The contrast between the political exploitation of Newtown and the way in which the same media outlets have gone out of their way to avoid drawing the obvious conclusions about Boston could not be greater. In one case, the media helped orchestrate a national discussion in which hyper-emotional rhetoric about the fallen drove a political agenda. In the other, they are seeking to ensure that no conclusions — even those that are self-evident — be drawn under any circumstances.

We’re living in politically correct, and culturally suicidal times.

  1. So far the only effect of Watertown they might discuss is how it compelled NBA center Jason Collins to come out as gay. SI link

    In it he says:

    The recent Boston Marathon bombing reinforced the notion that I shouldn’t wait for the circumstances of my coming out to be perfect.

    Combine that with Tim Tebow getting cut and you have a good Christian end-times narrative that Iowahawk could turn into a novel. ^_^
