Media Dimwits Celebrate "Courage" of Caitlyn Jenner While Ignoring True Hero Chris Kyle
Doug Ross @Journal ^ | June 8, 2015 | Daniel John Sobieski

One gets the impression that if Amir Hekmati, the former United States Marine still imprisoned in Iran were gay, transgendered or a deserter, President Obama, who tweeted to the former Olympic champion and now Vanity Fair cover girl Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner: “It takes courage to tell your story.” BizPac Review noted how quickly and for what reason President Obama sprung into action after Caitlin’s cover:

“It takes courage to share your story,” the president tweeted in response to Jenner, who broke the president’s record for fastest new Twitter account to reach 1 million followers.

Never on to miss an opportunity to push the progressive agenda, Obama tweeted three minutes later, asking other lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders people to tell their tale (because they’re not in the news enough these days).

We know who the real heroes are, what the truth is, and why the evil do what they do. Their day of reckoning is drawing nigh:

You cannot begin to explain current events today without first looking to the devil. If you do that, things are quite simple. If you don’t, you come up with endless psychological explanations that never have any conclusions.

We sure do see a media onslaught nowadays about homosexuals and now these trans whatever people.

I have no ill will towards anyone, but, just thinking, it sure was easier when such people were in the closet, and kept these inclinations private.

I realize such thought will get me sent to re education camp someday. We have gone far beyond the concept of tolerance of LGBT peoples; we now must endorse and actively seek it out and celebrate it as a positive status.

71 years ago thousands of 18, 19 and 20 year old young men stormed the beaches of Normandy exhibiting an unprecedented heroism. These are heroes. I hardly consider having you genitals cut off and breasts enhanced because you think you are a woman and then flaunting your folly in the media to be anything heroic

For starters stop calling him Caitlyn. His name is Bruce. Just like the word “gay” and “marriage” we are allowing them change meanings.

People fight debilitating illness every day.
People get tortured and killed for their religious beliefs every day.
People fight and watch their brothers die in war every day.

And the American media along with leftist morons associate the word “courage” with a mentally deranged MAN that got implants in his chest and tucked his wiener between his legs.
All so he could upstage his famous-for-being-famous stepdaughter.

Yep... thats the world we live in.

The complaints about the praise for Ms Jenner are really about the media more than Ms Jenner.

And the media’s reaction to those complaints is really NOT about the folks that prefer alternative icons of bravery.

It is the media complaining about how dare some people NOT join their ultra hyperbolic lifting of Ms Jenner to some iconic symbol no one is obligated to feel equally enthusiastic about.

It was the media that made it NOT the ho hum event it should have been left as, like - O.K., I get it, now can we move on.

Instead it was the media’s over-the-top cacophony of praise for and promotion of Ms Jenner that left many people in disgust, and finally saying to themselves and publicly - well here’s what I think a good symbol of bravery is like.

How dare anyone in the public prominently tell the media they aren’t going along with a made-by-the-media agenda.

Ms Jenner’s real enemies are the media, as they have now insured she is a controversial media-created icon about “bravery” which she will be expected to defend in life and which she and everyone else could have done well without.
