A few excerpts from the August 10th article \u201cHappy Warrior”, by David Harsanyi:<\/p>\n
“But if you keep telling people their self-worth is found in victimhood, and outrage is a moral imperative, they might start believing you.”<\/p>\n “Some argue that only the oppressed could possibly understand the pain of these names (speaking of sports teams Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves). Maybe so, but feigned outrage is infectious and irrational.”<\/p>\n “It is not in the impoverished Baltimore inner city, but in the whitest of white Maryland suburbs, that a bunch of historically illiterate students have gathered more than 1000 signatures to rename Winston Churchill High School because of the man\u2019s alleged \u201ccrimes against humanity\u201d.”<\/p>\n “It is not the impoverished descendants of cotton-pickers who pressured high-end grocer Trader Joe\u2019s to start changing the names of their ethnic foods \u2013 \u201cTrader Jose\u2019s\u201d for Mexican, \u201cTrader Ming\u2019s\u201d for Chinese. It takes a special kind of humorless scold to be offended by cartoonish appreciation of foreign cuisine, and yet here we are.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few excerpts from the August 10th article \u201cHappy Warrior”, by David Harsanyi: “But if you keep telling people their self-worth is found in victimhood, and outrage is a moral imperative, they might start believing you.” “Some argue that only the oppressed could possibly understand the pain of these names (speaking of sports teams Cleveland […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-newspage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenturcotte.org\/lt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenturcotte.org\/lt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenturcotte.org\/lt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenturcotte.org\/lt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenturcotte.org\/lt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lenturcotte.org\/lt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":431,"href":"https:\/\/lenturcotte.org\/lt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430\/revisions\/431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenturcotte.org\/lt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenturcotte.org\/lt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenturcotte.org\/lt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
