t is hard not to have total contempt for a political culture that thinks the picture at right is a useful contribution to rescuing 276 schoolgirls kidnapped by jihadist savages in Nigeria. Yet some pajama boy at the White House evidently felt getting the First Lady to pose with this week's Hashtag of Western Impotence would reflect well upon the Administration. The horrible thing is they may be right: Michelle showed she cared - on social media! - and that's all that matters, isn't it?
Just as the last floppo hashtag, #WeStandWithUkraine, didn't actually involve standing with Ukraine, so #BringBackOurGirls doesn't require bringing back our girls. There are only a half-dozen special forces around the planet capable of doing that without getting most or all of the hostages killed: the British, the French, the Americans, Israelis, Germans, Aussies, maybe a couple of others. So, unless something of that nature is being lined up, those schoolgirls are headed into slavery, and the wretched pleading passivity of Mrs Obama's hashtag is just a form of moral preening.
But then what isn't? The blogger Daniel Payne wrote this week that "modern liberalism, at its core, is an ideology of talking, not doing". He was musing on a press release for some or other "Day of Action" that is, as usual, a day of inaction:
Diverse grassroots groups are organizing and participating in events such as walks, rallies and concerts and calling on government to reduce climate pollution, transition off fossil fuels and commit to a clean energy future.
It's that easy! You go to a concert and someone "calls on government" to do something, and the world gets fixed.

Well, social media worked to help Obama get elected, so therefore it should work for this. right?
Checked your homepage. Dang!
No pic...
“...They’s OUR people... Just ask Holder... “
If that’s the case, then it’s “his” people that kidnapped them in the first place.
How true.
Yep...
If obozo was really driven with a blinding desire to be the first black socialist/communist/marxist pResident, he would have thrown a bag over the mooch’s head, and done “the deed.” And then he would have run back to Reggie's arms...a “cleansing” of sorts for this homosexual.
Don't care if you're homosexual, or whatever your sexual orientation, which is determined at conception. I DO care that this POS lying commie/socialist/marxist/muzzie supporter is in control of our govt., and is working toward the destruction of all that this country was founded on.
The lives of these two and their “children”, prop kids as I like to refer to them, is built upon nothing but lies. Despicable people, and they and their ilk must be removed from OUR White House one way or the other.
Our Annie’s aging.
Is that dum Beach proud of her country now? Nigeria?
I luv that Ann Coulter pic! :)
The Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton’s State Department have sent special forces to Uganda, Congo and elsewhere to pursue every rebel group that is NOT muslim.
If socialism or muslim tyranny is at risk, special force are sent. If Christians are at real risk, they’ll muster tweet.
Bring Back Our Balls is a slogan trying to make Big Band music popular again. Or maybe it’s the name of a rock band.
