When National Review goes under, I'll shed a tear for what might have been.

But as for right now, fuck the fucking fuckers.  In case you were actually out enjoying your life instead of watching news this weekend, the Liberal Democrat Media Complex was dog-piling on a bunch of Catholic high school kids for daring to smile while they were being abused after the March for Life.

Apparently, the few remaining non-pedophile Democrats have been feeling left out and needed a way that they, too, could ruin children’s lives. This weekend they found it. A Native American hate crime hoax targeted children from a Christian school, Covington Catholic, wrongly claiming that its students were hateful bigots taunting a defenseless old Native American elder. The truth? They’d been called “faggots” by black Muslim protesters and were deliberately provoked by the indigenous rights activist, a longtime Democrat political operative called Nathan Phillips whose “Vietnam vet” credentials are now being called into question. Far from being smug bullies as reported, Covington students were smiling so as not to get angry at being provoked by black protesters and then by a Native American elder who approached them to taunt them—in other words, they were remaining good-natured out of Christian charity. 

This is what the progressive Left in America does now: Destroy children’s lives for political gain.

We all know that the Democrat Media is the enemy of the people, and they prove it on a daily basis.  But what is sticking in the craw of so many people is how quickly and willingly the supposed "conservative" media jumped on board with the bashing.

That’s all predictable enough. Less predictable was National Review rushing out a now-deleted op-ed accusing the wrongly-accused Covington students of “evil” behavior and claiming they “might as well have just spit on the cross. Or a virtue-signalling Ross Douthat going in on Twitter without having a clue about the facts. You will recall that these are the same people constantly lecturing the rest of us about propriety, manners and restraint.

Deleted, yes, but not a single hint of remorse at publicly excoriating kids who had done nothing wrong, who's lives are now turned upside down as the Leftist hate-mob, aided and abetted by supposed "conservatives", have doxed the kids and their family members over a story that was a complete and utter lie from the very first second it crested on Twitter.

Let’s please remember all this the next time journalists, professors and talking heads on TV tell improbable tales of bigotry and hatred. Aggressive public displays of virtue are where the morally deplorable hide, which is how you know all politicians are scumbags, why social justice warriors always turn out to be perverts and felons, and why you can be confident assuming the majority of journalists are repellent, ethically sickening people. Especially the ones who claim to be Right-wing. I can take people who declare themselves my enemy. What I can’t abide is snakes, opportunists, backstabbers and liars on my own side.

National Review went full NeverTrump in 2016, to include insulting and smearing quite a few of their own readers, and they're suffering the predictable result.  Hell, both my father and I ended our subscriptions over it, as we get insulted and heckled enough by Leftists that we don't need it from people who were supposedly on our side.  Now it seems that their hatred of Trump and his supporters have allowed them to essentially jump on the Liberal Left train at every opportunity.

And let's be clear - I watched the video.  The kids did nothing wrong.  The black idiots screaming "FAGGOT!" at the kids were the problem.  The liar known as Nathan Phillips, who attempted to intimidate the kids and who provoked this entire episode, he did something wrong.  And every so-called conservative who jumped on the Liberal hate train should hang their head in shame for the rest of their lives as they enabled a Leftist mob who is now in the process of attempting to destroy the lives of those kids and their families.

The families of those kids are now publicly talking about suing.  Good sue the fucking bastards into bankruptcy.  Make the Leftist hate mob, of which the media is the ringleader, cheerleader and instigator, pay for their lies.  Fucking ruin every virtue-signaling asshole, starting with whoever the fuck is shipping that lying liar Nathan Phillips around the country so he can protest and start shit.

Make.  Them.  Pay.
