    An elderly, former Marine who lost his wife of 54 years in the Tucson mass shootings expressed his anger at fellow victim and Congresswoman Gabbie Giffords. George Morris, 77, was shot in the leg and back in the attack just over a year ago as he tried to protect his wife from the gunman. Dorothy Morris, 76, was killed after the couple had gone to the Safeway supermarket to quiz Ms Giffords' political opinions. Mr Morris, who describes himself as 'ultra-conservative', even refused a visit from President Obama while he recovered in hospital following the shootings in Arizona. The couple...

    Although such rituals as the memorial service at Tucson are appropriate and vital to the bond we all feel as members of a society in a time of grief, absent in this recognition of the innocents tragically killed and maimed was any allusion to or compassion for the thousands of victims who are killed and maimed as a consequence of turning our borders into an open sieves and giving sanctuary to criminals who are illegal aliens, enabling them to perpetrate repeated criminal acts on our communities. The article gives examples of those whose lives have been needlessly taken from us,...
  • Have They No Shame? The Exploitation of a National Tragedy

    Exploiting the Tucson shooting for political gain and characterizing the tragedy as the fault of conservative blogs was a new low even for the liberal media. Their ethical standard was set by Rahmn Emanuel's pithy aphorism about never wasting a crisis. This article at Town Hall explores how the media has handled similar tragedies when suddenly the finger pointing shifted from the right to the left, especially during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

    A message from the heart to the Republicans in Congress: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember, remember the elections in November, you were elected stop Obama's near treasonous plot. I know of no reason, other than treason, that the elections should ever be forgot! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What earth shattering event would force me to write such admittedly poor prose ? What on earth could possibly make Your Friendly Neighborhood Right Wing Extremist Columnist so upset that he is forced to stray so far from his comfort zone ? Just what is bothering him, anyway ? (Other than the fact that the United States is sliding...

    I have a very personal message for those half wits who are calling for "civility". Ready ? Here we go: Shove it. Shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Shove it up sideways. Shove it up sideways and twist it around. Now I'm sure there will be those who will call me a hatemonger. It certainly wouldn't be the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last time. Oh well. I'm crying a river, let me tell you. Really. Boo-hoo. See, I look at the current political environment as more than the Hatfield and McCoy nonsense that we...
  • Nancy Pelosi calls Tucson murders an “accident.”

    Lord in Heaven, you can’t make this up. Yesterday, on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, deposed Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-Mars), called the deliberate and premeditated killing of six people – the Tucson massacre – an “accident.” Specifically, Madame said, quote: “This resolution is a fitting tribute. It is a great resolution. Please, read it again and again. Carry those names in your heart. Remember, each of these people because, again, a tragic accident took lives, wounded people in the expression of ideas.” If you find this confusing, you are not alone, because “middle-class families” do, as well....

    Protesting near funerals will be illegal in Arizona immediately after Gov. Brewer signs a bill passed by the state legislature Tuesday. Lawmakers approved emergency legislation to head off picketing of the funeral of the nine-year-old girl gunned down in the attempt on the life of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. "We need to protect our grieving families from having to go through the pain of being exposed to protesters," said Steve Farley, D-28, the House minority leader. Members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., said Monday it plans to picket the funeral of Christina Taylor Green on Thursday because "God...
  • Juan Williams suggests Arizonans’ anger at immigrants is reason for shooting

    Juan Williams suggests that Arizonans’ anger at immigrants is reason for Giffords’ shooting. After Gabrielle Giffords’ shooting two days ago, many Democrats and liberals across the US were salivating at the opportunity to hurt the conservative movement by unethically associating it with the congresswoman’s shooter, Jared Loughner. This opportunism is seen in everyone from Arizona State Senator Linda Lopez to the out-of-control loose cannon who is Pima County’s Sherriff Dupnik. Yesterday, in a TV appearance, Juan Williams tried a slightly different track, but still managed to character assassinate many conservatives. Williams didn’t connect Loughner directly to right-wingers, but he did...
