I don’t know, maybe the shooter.

He is blameless because he is merely a product of his environment.

Except the article never says that. In fact, it says the exact opposite.

It's almost funny how few seem disposed to read as far as the second paragraph.

Excellent piece.

...this is an individual who doesn’t fear God... this is a person who has no regard for the innocent lives of his fellow human beings, each and every one of whom were created in God’s image.

Evil never rests and will possess the unwary. The guy became the devils slave.

Maybe we should try to simplify this for those in Rio Linda:

The Left is trying to pin the shooter’s actions on the Right.

But, he’s obviously godless and has no respect for innocent human life.

Considering his actions, whose ideology does he more accurately reflect, that of the Right, or that of the Left?

Thank you. Written from the heart as I’ve watched the Left spew their lying venom today.

When we have a president who insisted that a baby born alive following an abortion attempt be DENIED medical care......because that’s not what the mother wanted........we have a wanton disregard for human life.

If the political left thinks that the most important right is to be able to kill your own baby in your womb, and there are those that believe we ought to have the right to kill our own babies up to two years of age, we see the consequences of that disregard for life.

I said this yesterday that Jared is a Frankenstein’s monster created by the leftist culture that struck back at them and they need to look in the mirror.

This horrible incident yesterday is our Lord allowing us to eat the fruit of our way.

Great article. I especially like the closing as it's very difficult not to get wound up and vitriolic over the lies, accusations and projections of the left. But one must remember that Satan is the father of lies and they're only doing what their spiritual master has taught them. We must remain calm and reasoned, but firm. Ultimately, the Truth will win out and that is where we will stand.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

What a horrific and pathetic day for our Nation. The face of evil was shown through unbelievable tragedy and some in our legislation used that tragedy for a failed political gain. Those legislatures have ice in their veins and the American people should remember who they are.

Your post brings this cartoon to mind:

A pretty good fit with the article, too, I think.

Nothing could be more disgusting than the left wing attack on Palin over this. Disgusting, vile, and pathetic.

Thanks for the ping. Does kind of put it into the proper perspective, doesn’t it?

It is. Although in the twisted minds of the Left, you'll be the bad guy for pointing it out.

I can’t believe the news coverage of this.

Most of the coverage ignores the fact that six people are dead, numerous injured, with a congresswoman fighting for her life. Most of the coverage instead is focusing on the narrative that the incendiary political rhetoric of conservatives/tea partiers/Sarah Palin is the cause of this rampage. Most of the coverage is dealing with how news stories are covered, and how talking head shows operate with the back and forth and shouting formats.

Rather than saying prayers for those who perished, condemnation of the killer, prayers for the congresswoman, we’re instead launching right into a sideline issue debate about talk radio and cable new chatter and the political climate.

And what is striking is that this shooter appears to be deranged, and was not making a political statement in support of the tea party or Sarah Palin. Initial evidence is that this guy is a leftist if he focuses on politics at all. Yet the rush to judgement has been that right wing political rhetoric caused this guy to commit mass murder.

I am embarrassed for the MSM with their coverage of this story.

Well, I guess someone's gotta do it for them, since they have no shame of their own.
