If you're a bleeding-heart leftist who's incapable of making a tough call, you probably would never bomb someone because you think it's the height of insensitivity. After all, the person managing the chemical weapons on the receiving end of your attack could be a member of a protected racial group, a potential illegal immigrant voter, or possibly even transgender. You just never know.
It's bad enough that you're going to go the "cisnormative route" and blow them to smithereens. However, when you use a weapon that's also insensitive? You've doubled-down on your callous bigotry.
That's exactly what happened over the weekend, when President (and left-wing boogeyman) Donald Trump lobbed 59 missiles at an airstrip in Syria. He didn't care about sexual orientations, he didn't care that there might be "brown people" there. He just attacked. ...And he used something cruelly referred to as "Tomahawks" to do it.
I knew immediately that this would be a problem.
Has anyone heard what Elizabeth Warren thinks about using Tomahawks on Syria? Is that racist? #Fauxcahontas
Of course, I was joking.
However, this is how liberals think. Who cares what actually happened when there's division and discontent to be sewn? The rule is: Always play Americans against each other - even if you have to make yourself look like an abject imbecile to do it.
Enter Clara Jeffrey. She's the Editor-in-chief of Mother Jones. You might know it as the liberal rag of record that isn't the New York Times.
That the missiles are callled tomahawks must enrage a lot of Native Americans
I'm betting it doesn't. ...Unless you're an activist who was already searching for a reason to be enraged.
I could get into a whole spiel about how "It's named Tomahawk to honor the bravery, ferocity, and precision of the Algonquian Indians," and I'd be right. But what's the point? This is par for the Democrat course. Attempt to use vague language and misinformation to rile up an increasingly disenchanted base.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.
