Where’s The Outrage?
The Democrats are calling for the heads of the Republican Congressional leadership on the basis that they didn’t do enough to protect these young men. According the Democrats(and some Republicans, including Michelle Malkin) they should have known what was going to happen, and should have acted pre-emptively to stop it from happening.
If this is really the issue, why aren’t the parents of the young men in question strenuously objecting to Foley’s behavior, as well as that of the Republican Congressional leadership? All we have heard about them is that they didn’t want anything done about it when informed of the emails, which, it turns out, were not illegal, and may not have even been immoral or unethical.
Let’s be clear: If Foley did anything improper with these young men, he should at least be censured. He has already gone beyond that, apparently at Hastert’s request, and the parents aren’t out in front of the cameras and microphones, demanding that heads roll.
If all this is what the Democrats claim it is, where is the outrage from the principals? The motives of the Democrats are clear: They want to defeat their opposition by any means whatsoever, but the people who have a dog in this fight, the young men and their parents(and friends and neighbors), are strangely silent. Where’s the outrage?
If the Democrats are so interested in protecting young men and boys from sexual predators(or potential ones), why did they oppose the Boy Scouts when they wanted to ban homosexual Scoutmasters because of the potential of the same kind of situation that exists between Congressmen and pages?
Why the outrage now?
