South Carolina Gunman Partially a Product of Left-Leaning Culture
Townhall.com ^ | June 22, 2015 | Rachel Alexander

A pattern is beginning to emerge regarding gunmen who go on shooting rampages, and it’s bad news for the left and their values. Deranged shooter Jared Loughner, who shot former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in 2011, was a creepy leftist. Sandy Hook school shooter Adam Lanza spent all day addicted to violent video games, had no contact with his father and only communicated with his mother through email. Last week, 21-year-old loner Dylann Roof senselessly shot and killed nine people in a black church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Somewhere along his life, someone stopped caring about Roof’s education. He was allowed to drop out of ninth grade, and at the time of the shootings was unemployed. He had been arrested for petty crimes after getting caught with drugs.

The radicalization of Roof appeared to start when he bought into the left’s mantra of blacks and other minorities vs. whites. In what is believed to be Roof’s manifesto, he says the race wars stirred up by the Trayvon Martin shooting were what influenced him. After searching on the Internet for answers, he came across white supremacist websites that further incited his developing racism.

In the manifesto, he reserves his worst racism toward blacks, but also targets Jews and Hispanics. He said Americans need to “stop fighting for the Jews.” The site, named The Last Rhodesian after the former white supremacist African country, includes photos of Roof burning and trampling on the American flag. He wrote, “I hate the sight of the American flag.” Another photo shows him pointing a gun into the camera. Other photos show him wearing white supremacist clothing and celebrating the Confederate flag and its history. In most of the photos, he is unsmiling with a cold, hard look in his eyes. He was reportedly taking Suboxone, a powerful medication which is used to treat drug addiction, and friends said he also abused prescription drugs he bought off the street like Xanax.

Where were this young man’s mother and father? A child that attempts to drop out of ninth grade should not be permitted to just drift along uneducated and unemployed – he should have been sent to a military or boarding school where he would have developed conservative values, working hard alongside other students of all races, developing a healthy perspective. Instead, he was allowed to become isolated, cut off from society.

Unfortunately, the left has successfully spread the message today that anything goes when it comes to parenting – unless it’s something conservative like spanking or teaching children to abstain from sex before marriage. No stay-at-home parent? Single mom? No church youth group for the kids? We’re no longer allowed to point out that these types of parenting situations might not be as ideal for children – or risk ridicule and attacks by the left. If this troubled young man had been sent to military school and regularly participated in a church youth group, do you think he would have committed these heinous crimes? Instead, everyone just politely looks the other way, afraid to be labeled “judgmental.”

Obama could have used the opportunity of becoming the first black president to heal race relations, moving us toward a colorblind society. Racism can no longer be as bad if Americans elect a black president. Instead, Obama has used his bully pulpit to exacerbate racial tensions, quick to find racism against blacks and quick to attack white police officers. He stirs up race relations deliberately to gain Democratic support. As a result, 84 percent of Americans say race relations have worsened or stayed the same since Obama has been in office.

They are saying he was a neo-Nazi and held anti-American feelings.

Read Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism” for a clear demonstration that the Nazis were leftists and that their ideology has transferred to the left wing of the DNC.

Anti-Americanism is the soul of Nazism/leftism/Statism.

I think that suboxone played a key role in destroying this kid’s thought process, but I think at core of it he was responding either to leftist indoctrination or lashing out as a response to the propaganda that has been shoved in our faces since Obammie-the-Commie first started running for the presidency.

A community organizer is nothing more than an agent provocateur (read Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia for a clear description of those agents).

Let’s face it, you can take the community organizer out of Chicago, but you can’t take the goal of agitating and stirring up people until they are ready to attack each other out of the community organizer.

Obammie and the state-run media have been stirring up rats in a cage for years, and now that they finally caused a little evil, they are using it again to attack their political and social enemies.

This was an evil act carried out by someone who was not mentally stable and who compounded that instability with medication that is known for causing suicidal and homicidal tendencies.

It has nothing to do with the “right wing,” with guns, or with the Confederate flag.

But that’s all we’re going to hear until Hitlery steals the presidency.

I think her first act will be to amend the 2nd Amendment “for the safety of women and our children” (because she’s such a great Mom figure, ya know) to take the right of firearms ownership away from the citizenry, which they will switch from calling racist (which they are already doing) to sexist.

“Obama could have used the opportunity of becoming the first black president to heal race relations, moving us toward a colorblind society.”

Seriously? They seriously thought there was a rat’s rump of that happening?

They’ve had 7 years to examine this guy - NOTHING in his past could lead anyone to believe that!

The progressive lie about the inhumanity of conservatives is made clear with Roof. Violence, addiction and hatred are not conservative values. They are progressive conditions brought on by contempt for tradition and culture.

It’s pretty simple, though the left hates this clear delineation.

Embrace traditional (Judeo-Christian) values - conservative.

Reject traditional values - leftist.

What?

You mean Obama joining a church and being a member of that church for 20 years because it reflected his views, those views being the extermination of the white race to solve the worlds problems, couldn’t lead us to a colorblind society?

I’m shocked!

Shocked I tell you.

It would be interesting to know the circumstances why he dropped out of school in 9th grade.

It sounds like he probably started using drugs at a very young age.

Was Dylann Roof driven to racist murder by a GIRL?

Oh the “rusty” irony! Dylann Roof thinks like a Libbie/Leftist (misnamed) “progressive”… blaming ALL black people for the crimes of a few. After his outrage (just like him) Obama, Hitlery and all matter of Lefties came out spitting their usual venom blaming ALL white people, gun owners, Fox News, NRA,etc… as usual. But Truth is NOT part of the liberal agenda or that of Mr. Roof.
