US Hypocrisy and Kashoggi??

I screwed up and watched the news this evening. The media is alive with the sound of liberals and alleged conservatives ripping President Trump about Saudi Arabia. They are all enraged because Trump is not condemning the Saudis about the murder of Jamal Kashoggi.

Is the outrage all about Kashoggi because he wrote for the Washington Post?? Would there be any outrage if he wrote for the National Enquirer? Would anyone even care if he weren't a "journalist"?  Was he even a U.S. citizen? Sometime in the last couple of years, journalists have raised themselves and their co-workers to some sort of "god" status. Ask yourself, "Have the Saudis killed any other dissidents? Does anyone know or even care?" We only get reports when a "journalist" is killed.

We almost never hear about dissidents in African countries being killed. However, I am willing to bet that it happens every day. How about dissidents in China? How about dissidents in South American countries?? No, we only hear about those who write for the Washington Post. If Kashoggi was smart enough to write, he was smart enough to understand the risk. I think that it is terrible that anyone gets killed, but this has been blown way out of proportion.

Memo to the U.S. media and politicians: Clean up your own house first! The Internet is alive with stories of all of those who opposed the Clintons and ended up committing suicide. Are the House Democrats threatening to investigate that?? How about the FBI shooting Vicki Weaver? Wasn't that an assassination? Is she any less dead than Kashoggi? The United States government is outraged that the Saudis killed a dissident, yet have never told the truth about the government killing more than 80 dissidents at Waco in 1993. What's the hypocrisy level there?

When the government comes clean and tells the truth about Waco, we can talk about Kashoggi.
