No. It is way past time to act. The problem is there are too few who even know right from wrong even on a forum for conservatives.

Read the founders. They understood the risk. Their actions were well thought out. They were calculated. And they were level headed.

Random anger and vigilante justice will result in chaos and then a totalitarian state. Those in power are not afraid of this response. It is what they are hoping for. It is their plan to gain the keys to the kingdom. What they fear are the calm, cool heads along with the resolute determination of the Tea Party. They fear Chick-fil-a standing for family values. They fear Hobby Lobby fighting for freedom of conscience in the courts. They fear conservative talk radio and websites like this one. They fear Sheriff Joe Arpaio refusing to stop his pursuit of truth and justice. They do not fear a disorganized, angry, violent, lawless opposition.

A civil and moral view toward a criminal says, we (society) must restrain you to protect society from your behavior and to protect you from your own behavior. An angry, vindictive view say, you deserve to suffer for the pain you have caused others and we delight in seeing that happen to you.

The second view is judgmental, condemning and always hypocritical because whenever we condemn others, the Bible says, “thou doest the same things.” (See Romans 2:1.)

Christ is our example. He never compromised in the slightest way with evil. He stood firmly against murder, adultery, theft, rebellion, idolatry, perversion, etc. Yet He had compassion on the worst of sinners, He helped, He healed, He educated, and ultimately gave His life... not for good people, but for His enemies which includes all of us. This means both liberals and conservatives. We conservatives may know right from wrong (while many apparently do not), but it means very little if we abandon God’s command to love your neighbor as yourself.

The mess we are in is due to abandoning Christ as a society and as individuals. He is the only hope of restoring and healing this nation. The only alternative is destruction.

I do agree with you in that losing our foundation in Christ has brought untold chaos. And yes, only HE can right this awful turmoil. I never advocated for anyone else to be harmed in return, nor am I suggesting anyone run wild and spread the news about TM and his life. I will simply stating that to allow a white wash of his life, adds fuel to the raging fire that he was a victim of big bad GZ.

Thanks for your response and on this we can agree.
