What if it were your relative?
FOX’s O’Reilly was asked why he thought “Benghazi” has not gotten any “traction”. His answer was simple. “It’s not resonating“. Translation, President Obama, (and Hillary for that matter), are counting on the fact the American people don’t care enough to make a difference, hence the now infamous: “What difference at this point, does it make?” Now there are plenty of other theories as to why this horrific act of terrorism committed against our Ambassador and his team has failed to generate the outrage many believe it should, not the least of which is a “mainstream media” that simply refuses to do its job when it comes to this president. I would say it’s a combination of both a complacent “We the People”, and a media which fosters that complacency by way of ideologically specific journalism.
I suppose if it were their family member who was tortured to death or blown up, they would be a bit more outraged. But the truth is, many Americans are not tuned in to anything but their own personal lives and fortunes. It’s almost as if the generation that cared about such things is now largely gone away, replaced with a kind of selfish apathy, devoid of any national pride.
I’m not suggesting this is indicative of all Americans, but it’s certainly enough to thwart justice for the Benghazi murderers. And apparently, it’s enough to facilitate a pass for this president that would never have been afforded his predecessors…
