Outrage Overload?

Our best trait is also our biggest downfall. Outrage. We on the right are slow to show it, and even slower to express it. The tea parties are a welcome change, but more is needed. Do we suffer from outrage overload, or are we just too busy with faith, work and family to bother?

Here are some recent outrage opportunities for those not suffering outrage overload:

Steven Gilbert's Sweetness & Light blog is the latest to receive notice that they are being sued for linking to news stories from a certain Nevada newspaper.

Expect more of this from a MSM that can't attract advertising dollars to their own content. Click over there to learn more and to support Sweetness & Light.

We are embarrassed to say we didn't know about this. Did you know there are ten soldiers serving 10 years or more in federal prison for killing the enemy on the battlefield?

The Leavenworth Ten, or "L10" are ten soldiers incarcerated at the Fort Leavenworth prison. You see, the justice we dish out to our own is a bit different than the justice applied to our enemies at Gitmo.

Shall we justify this by saying we 'hold ours to a higher standard', or shall we admit that the Democrats, liberal Republicans and politicized generals have lost the will to fight this war and any future war?

We might be getting some traction on the Ground Zero Mosque issue. Sensing a losing battle, Muslims are pushing back in another way. Have you heard about the mass praying that has shut down streets in Paris and elsewhere?

Is this a call to action? Nope, just some observations. If asked, we'd tell you to continue to cling. Cling to your faith, family, work and values.

But... when the opportunity arises, confront, as this person did at Glenn Beck's recent DC rally:



Isn't she great?
