They’re baaaack.
Just when you thought that the proverbial fifteen minutes were up for David Hogg and Company, TIME put them back into the spotlight, as the magazine just put the gun control kids on its annual “100 Most Influential People of 2018” list.
Moreover, Barack Obama was there to help. He wrote a fawning paean for TIME, saying that “the Parkland kids are shaking us out of our complacency.” Even more miraculous, they do so while being mere children!
The Parkland, Fla., students don’t have the kind of lobbyists or big budgets for attack ads that their opponents do. Most of them can’t even vote yet.
Oh, stop. And if you believe that, I have this bridge for sale.
Who’s been slobbering all over these kids? Why, leftwing groups and the media, for starters. Who gave Hogg and Crew the platform on CNN? Who helped organize the March for Our Lives? On top of that, how about all those celebrities who marched with these kids?
Oh, but guess whom TIME completely left off of its list? Kyle Kashuv, of course.
However, Kashuv did not let TIME’s snub or Obama’s slobberfest go unnoticed.
This is so rich coming from @BarackObama. https://t.co/GNjZSg2bST

He also added:
As a former president, @BarackObama, shouldn't you be supportive of anyone executing their #1A and commend all the students from MSD (esp ones who lost loved ones) that are adding to the dialogue?
Why do you only recognize those who you agree with? Seems asinine and un-American https://t.co/IQq9reF2R0

Well, that’s different, of course.
Kashuv, however, has been the only Parkland student survivor to actually meet with legislators to develop policy to make schools safer. Compare that, if you will, with the antics of fellow student David Hogg, who thinks it’s cool to hang up on the White House, and calls those who don’t agree with him “f***ers.”
But, never mind such sophomoric shenanigans. They’re on the right side of history, don’t you know. Gotta keep that agenda moving forward. Looks like these kids won’t be going away after all.
Kim is a pint-sized patriot who packs some big contradictions. She is a Baby Boomer who never became a hippie, an active Republican who first registered as a Democrat (okay, it was to help a sorority sister's father in his run for sheriff), and a devout Lutheran who practices yoga. Growing up in small-town Indiana, now living in the Kansas City metro, Kim is a conservative Midwestern gal whose heart is also in the Seattle area, where her eldest daughter, son-in-law, and grandson live. Kim is a working speech pathologist who left school system employment behind to subcontract to an agency, and has never looked back. She describes her conservatism as falling in the mold of Russell Kirk's Ten Conservative Principles. Don't know what they are? Google them!
Gotta love Kyle, not afraid to speak the truth, and actually work to fix the problem.. as for the others, that bald dude in the right front, and the chick in the back center of that pic are UUUUGGGLY!
Is there anyone who is surprised by this? Totally predictable, next is Nobel Prize, perhaps a Pulitzer.
Wouldn’t “influential” require that they actually had influenced people to agree with their message?
Oh wait, they had 0bama write the piece, so they’re going for the same sort of influential as “Greatest firearms salesman of the 21st century!” I get it now……..
Time Magazine is meaningless. The 100 persists out of sheer attention hogging momentum. It no longer has any real reach. Burn it and th e staff in a brass bull. Soon.
There two kinds of people. Those who agreed with the kids before the Parkland shooting and those who didn’t. Nobody has changed their mind since, so just who did these kids influence? Right. Nobody.
For a pencil-necked attention whore, Hogg trying for a tough-guy stare-down is astonishingly silly.
