The Failure of the Lefties' "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention" Propaganda Meme

Encouraging people to "be angry" isn't proving to be such a great idea.

Key point:

"But most of us are reasonable people, and can see the difference between correctable problems within a strong system of democratic capitalism and the kind of catastrophic failure that justifies real outrage.

For the nonoutraged majority, here's what the bumper sticker ought perhaps to say: 'If you're not grateful to live in America, you're not paying attention.'"

On the other hand, it's highly debatable that a great many of our Dem/Lefty/"Progressive" citizens can be considered "reasonable".We see evidence of that right here in our local blahgosphere.
