Question for you all. Kony 2012 is about stopping the use of child soldiers in Africa right? It was a campaign of Invisible Children to garner attention of the problem and have among others, President Obama lend to a solution…
Well, if evidence of Obama’s administration is anything to go by, looks like that solution would come from someone either completely ignorant of reality, or very sick indeed. And just for those that aren’t political scientists or privy to political tech speak, the following Obama product argues that the United States Government is A-OK with child soldiers in some states, just not others.
So Congrats to Sudan, Yemen, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of Congo – Your child soldiers are acceptable. Booooo to Joseph Kony, your child soldiers are not.
Wow, the stupidity of it all.
Here is eXiled’s 2002 sarcastic take on Central African conflicts entitled: Altar Boy Vs. Altar Boy In Uganda: The Lord’s Resistance Army & Joseph Kony. Makes me want to laugh, then cry.
