One thing about the rash of child kidnappings and
murders needs to be mentioned. In every case, the
man accused was in the hands of the authorities
and was released. Isn't our System wonderful?
We are being assured by the media that the number
of kidnap-murders of this kind has actually gone
down in recent years. There seem to be more because
recently the media have given such kidnappings enormous
coverage.
There is lot of media comment on the fact that
these cases have recently received so much attention
while child grabs of this kind did not get this
kind of media coverage before. The reason is not
far to seek.
There used to be no conservative television outlets
at all and liberals don't like to talk about real
crimes, especially crimes against children.
If you will listen to what liberals say, their
official doctrine is that only leftists care about
children. Liberal politicians say conservatives
are out -- and I am not exaggerating this -- to
starve children and ignore anything done to them.
See July 5, 2002 - WERE SOUTH
CAROLINIANS STARVING CHILDREN?
If the media had discussed child kidnappings they
would have also ended up pointing out that it is
the criminals whom liberals acquit or let back out
on the street who commit those crimes. It is the
law and order conservatives who care about THOSE
children.
So child kidnappings were not given much publicity
when liberals had a television monopoly.
The media did not talk about specific incidents
of crimes against children because each such crime
is traceable back to a felon liberals want sympathy
for. They only discussed general things like crime
RATES and EXPENDITURES on government programs for
children.
And, of course, the liberal media demanded more
expenditures for the rehabilitation of those nice
child molesters.
Besides, any discussion of real crimes opens up
a can for worms for the political left.
If liberals talked about specific incidents, they
would have to recount cases where people defended
their family and property with evil private weapons.
This was not a conspiracy. It was simply that liberal
commentators were uncomfortable discussing crime,
so they didn't. Now they have to.
Reality is always the leftists' biggest enemy.
