Our Misplaced Outrage

Everyone regrets the killing of Cecil, a majestic lion.  The law-breakers should be prosecuted.  But the outrage and viciousness of the attacks on those involved is puzzling.

Some of the outrage is simply because the pictures show Cecil as a benign and magnificent animal, not as the bully and killer that he was.  But mostly we react because, as civilized humans, we believe in the rule of law, have a sense of morality, and respect for majestic animals.

Seeing the outrage over a lion’s killing, one has to wonder, where is the outrage at much worse offenses against American citizens?        

Americans should be outraged at Republican and Democrat politicians who, for their own benefit, allow and even encourage the illegal alien invasion which harms (including over 25,000 killings) millions of Americans.  We should be outraged at the officials of over 250 “sanctuary” cities that refuse to cooperate with Federal officials attempting to enforce our immigration laws.  We should be outraged at President Obama who promises to veto any law that tries to make sanctuary cities cooperate with Federal officials enforcing our immigration laws.

We should be outraged at the irresponsible behavior that results in over one millions abortions a year.  The Clintons said, “Abortions should be safe, legal, and rare”.  The current rate of abortions makes them common, not rare, and unacceptable.

Have we become so callous that we ignore harm to humans?  Or have we become so cowed by political correctness that we are afraid to complain about the millions of crimes done by illegal aliens against American citizens, the annual slaughter of over one million American babies, and the butchering of babies to sell baby parts?

Perhaps protesting the killing of a lion is the only way people have to express their outrage at the callous, irresponsible, and immoral things they see every day without being ridiculed and criticized by the politically correct crowd which tries to control our thoughts and speech.

It’s time for Americans to ignore political correctness and demand protection for what really matters, human life.
