We are all free to say what we think, and must be, for without this freedom we will no longer be America. More on that below. But you always hope what is said will be constructive, helpful, maybe even at some point heartening. You have a responsibility as an adult to do your best in this area.
But as soon as the story broke Wednesday afternoon, and while it was still going on, there were accusations and bitter words flung all over the Internet. The weirdest argument came almost immediately. A person named Chris Murphy, who is a U.S. senator representing Connecticut, sent out what struck me as the most manipulative message of recent political history.
The background is that Republican presidential contestants responded online to the shootings with the only helpful thing you can say—or do, frankly, from faraway—when a story like this occurs. “Praying for the victims, their families & the San Bernardino first responders,†said Jeb Bush. Mike Huckabee said he was “praying.†John Kasich: “My thoughts & prayers go out to those impacted.â€
This managed to enrage the progressive left. You can take your prayers and stuff ’em. The answer and the only answer to this tragedy is gun control, and if you’re not for it you’re not allowed to be part of the conversation. “Please shut up and slink away,†tweeted a reporter. Another: “Your thoughts and prayers don’t mean a damn thing.†A reporter at the Huffington Post damned public officials’ “useless thoughts and prayers.†Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos: “How many dead people did those thoughts and prayers bring back to the life?â€
Mollie Hemingway of the Federalist noted that all these denunciations were literally coming in while victims of the shooting were sending out requests for prayer.

It is already been prayed upon - by the Muslims and their POSPOTUS.
The term “prayer shaming” has entered the public discourse. And it’s The Left that’s doing it, except when it’s a Muslim prayer gathering.
The whole constitution needs our prayers.
Thanks be to God 2016 is coming.
Please, God, let 2016 be a reinstatement of some sanity in this country. Let us be led by wise men and women.
Anyone ‘prayer shaming’ me will need prayer.
Dear Lord, please don’t let our nation elect more idiots.
Amen.
I thought maybe this piece was in relation to what Loretta Lynch has pronounced recently.
...nor any more evil and destructive people.
Help this nation Lord elect better leaders. Amen
An unusually good column by Ms. Noonan, whom I usually ignore as being among the worst of the cuckservatives.
tell that to the FUGLY cow at DOJ...
GOD hasn't released ME from that oath yet.
When Peggy Noonan sounds conservative, we are all in trouble.
I pray this every single day. God bless you.
Might want to cinch up you corset a bit. It’s liable to be a rough ride.
Noonan just HAD to throw in a jab at Trump there at the end, didn’t she.
Noonan is one of the D.C. Cocktail Party “conservatives” that helped elect the Bat-Eared Bolshevik. She can take a flying leap.
As for prayer, I finished mine. Now I am ready to fight.
“I took an Oath on entering active military duty an each time I was promoted over 20 + years To support and Defend the CONSTUTION of the United States, against, ALL Enemies, be they Foreign or Domestic. So Help Me GOD!!!â€
GOD hasn’t released ME from that oath yet.”

+1 for that brother, so did I.
I lost complete respect for Noonan when she voted for BHO. Such a lack of discernment was appalling, unforgivable. She voted for the greatest evil of my lifetime and now wonders what’s wrong with this country
