No, what is new is the extension of Colt's equality to kids and the failure of our education and parenting systems as a result of rampant liberalism and cultural relativism.
Unfortunately, to understand the why and how one has to understand the politics. Politics fertilized the ground for the events. Imagine if divorce was far more rare, if educators still had control of their classrooms and classroom disrespect was seriously punished, if classrooms were controlled enough to make bullying rare in school and if schools had not been legislated into free fire zones...imagine...those are all political decisions that apply.
I then nominate Paul Krugman as #1 dbag with his insta-politicization of the Giffords shooting WITHOUT ANY FACTS IN HAND.
What difference does that make? You said "Nope. Politicizing the murder of teen children is for the weak minded. " You didn't say it only applied to thread starters.
Why don't you provide the post of Montoya's were he/she politicized the deaths of teen children. I'll wait.
I have a much better idea, why don't you find the only post by Montoya in this thread. I'll give you a clue, it's not below the post you are reading right now. It's not to the left or to the right. That's all the info I can give. Good luck on the hunt.
