I described the teenager-led anti-gun campaign, which has been breathlessly endorsed by the Democratic Party media, as a 21st century Children’s Crusade, referring to the ill-fated 1212 version. But with hindsight, that was unfair to the 13th-century kids. They undoubtedly had a better idea of why they were trying to liberate the Holy Land than the teenagers who demonstrated today have about why guns should be confiscated.
Charlie Kirk, the President of Turning Point USA, waded into the D.C. crowd of lefty protesters to ask a simple question: What is an assault rifle? The results were predictably amusing:

The Left’s purposes are two-fold.
Use the kids as shock troops today, and as mind-numbed, anti-2nd Amendment voters ten years from now.
Weren’t a lot of the children of the Children’s Crusade sold into slavery on their way to the holy land?
More like a fascist/communist youth march.
Lots of parallels.
Yeh!
*******
Cultural Marxism best describes the whole enchi-lotta!
And it’s been here a long, long time...various names or none.
Bolton better Go 4-BROKE!....how many second chances do we get????
Who listens to teenagers?
Today, victims become instant experts.
Foolish adults.
Much like the 4th Crusade, the children then (and now) were lead by a delusional child and many were made slaves, then and now.
The teachers aren’t teenagers, so the protests aren’t lead by teenagers.
Fake news.
“... victims become instant experts..”
I swear that I think this is even more screwy. It seems to me that some of today’s youth are wanna be “reality stars”. I think they love looking at their faces on television and plan to use this as a jump start into some sort of fame. I can only imagine that the number of followers on their instagrams etc... just swell their heads. I’m waiting for the first “published book” and the subsequent book tours etc...
I watched a documentary on the “Hitler Youth” on youtube this weekend and the similarities with how this “youth movement” is being manipulated is chilling.
Morons Crusade.
I watched that video and the shrill, bitchy blonde douche is why I - a blonde woman - believe that women should not vote.
The vast majority of women are emotional shipwrecks and they cannot engage in rational discussions over matters of fact. All they have are their ‘feelings’ and too many of these bitches will want to do something (even if they know it’s ruinous) because they ‘feel’ it’s the right thing to do.
Ugh.
Bingo!
“If we allow women to vote it will mean the loss of social structure and the rise of every liberal cause under the sun. Women are well represented by their fathers, brothers and husbands.” 1910-Winston Churchill.
Tell them to pull up their pants, turn their hats around and get back to class.
“Use the kids as shock troops today, and as mind-numbed, anti-2nd Amendment voters ten years from now.”
Use them for mine and IED detectors.
... and spit-out the laundry soap.
