The killing of five staffers at an Annapolis, Md., newspaper is an attack on all of us.

By us, we mean not just journalists — but all Americans. For the foundation of our country depends on a free press able to probe and report without fear of retribution.

I can’t help it. I am a sinner of unparalleled proportion. I have tried and tried to find my way home, but self righteous God owners like him make me sick, not so much for myself, but for others like me.

Actually, it was an attack on the people who pissed off a psychopath that a judge let off.

Never let a crisis go to waste.
What this Nation requires is a unbiased press reporting the truth not creating chaos and causing mass hysteria.

I heard about the attack on a newsroom in Maryland.

Thank God that no actual human beings were shot.

XD

Why do you believe I am “self” righteous? Why do you not believe my testimony that Christ humbled me greatly then stooped to lift me up to grace? What kind of testimony would you insist on seeing? The hate on left and right is intense. Be careful the self righteousness is not on your end!

Did this paper have the same reaction when Steve Scalise was shot?

“The killing of five staffers at an Annapolis, Md., newspaper is an attack on all of us. “

Odd, I don’t take it as such.

You do nothing but pretend you speak for God almighty. You will never convert a single sinner with your stench. You wreak of self righteousness.

And some animals are more equal than others, right?

Especially undocumented ones.

Remember the various members of the TV press openly saying that if they had impending knowledge of an enemy attack on our troops, they wouldn't pass it on? Wouldn't be, you know, "objective".

I wouldn't mind too terribly much, if a bunch of people showed up with cameras at the reporters' funerals, and shoved microphones into everyone's face, asking how they FELT about it, and if they felt guilty at all for driving a poor unstable guy over the brink ("we must UNDERSTAND the anger") is the catch-phrase when a member of a preferred victim group TM goes apesh*t on bystanders.

You don’t show me anything other than that the devil has crawled up your arse and set up shop.

But he did that so long ago even your half-witted blasphemies have lost their humor.

Stinky.

That’s what you claim but it’s a grandiose fatuous claim viewed through nothing but your own soul alone. On the main, many Christ professing FReepers find what I say to be inspiring.

Or alternatively, if you don’t like my Christ then show me the Christ you do like. I think you like one wearing a gag.

You are rude and unkind. You appear to not be playing with a full deck.

Was Jesus ever viewed that way? By whom? (Yes - Pharisees)

If you become evil to fight evil you become the problem not the solution.

Yeah, isn't it funny how the left uses that to blame Israel for fighting Palestinian terrorists?

I’m not happy with those killings. It angers me.

Now, those deaths are no more an attack on “all of us” than the illegal aliens who are carving us up at will.

Where’s the editorial on that, you ink pimps.

If the shooting happened to staff working for the Foxnews or Breitbart, would the liberal rag make such kind of remarks?

So that's you in the next lane over. Well, we pray, don't we.

We repent when we are scared enough.

We tremble at the blessings, the grace, the favor shown us.

The favor, that's what terrifies me. What Mightiness reaches down quite so low and why?

So you proclaimed your Freeper “following” as a defense? Gross! What a disgusting “worldly” pretense.

Listen bub, I don’t care one whit about you, but if by some chance you actually intend to try and save a few lost souls, ponder this from a real demon the likes of which you’ve never dreamed possible. Your own human vanity is vomiting all over your attempts to claim him. Every single thing you say is wrapped in your own puny ego.
