Kick out God and respect for innocent human life, and violence is the inevitable result
A day after the brutal Tucson murders of Federal Judge John Roll and five others, an attack that also left Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and a dozen others severely wounded, the leftwing media and political elites are making a sickening spectacle of themselves as they finger-point and try to shift and affix blame. My suggestion is that they stand in front of a mirror when they’re doing it.
But before I spell out why, let me say that the primary blame in this case lies with the godless young man who pulled the trigger. He made the conscious, callous, brutal choice to become a mass murderer.
However, even before we really look much at the various scraps of personal information about the shooter that are already coming in, we can know beyond a shadow of a doubt what sort of socio-political phenomenon he reflects.
First, this is an individual who doesn’t fear God.
Second, 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.
Those two things are one hundred percent certain.
Let me ask you, what modern American ideology does such a viewpoint mirror?
To whatever extent this mass murderer’s ideology is represented by his actions, it is the ideology of the American Left.
For decades, the Left has gone to any length to try and drive God out of our national life. Everyone knows it. This is not even debatable. And young people such as Jared Lee Loughner, like the Columbine High School killers before him, are not only the main targets of that worldview, they are commonly the most susceptible.
For decades, the Left has politically empowered the daily slaughter of thousands of defenseless babes in the womb via abortion. And they have done so with an uncompromising fervor. It’s like a religion to them. Because of that ghoulish, selfish, purposeful obsession, our national hands are drenched in the blood of more than fifty million innocent little boys and girls, and countless individual consciences have been seared into apathy towards acts of unspeakable violence.
Liberals can’t face themselves concerning any of this. They won’t admit the truth about what the poison fruit of their unjust ideology is. That’s why they are simply incapable of doing anything except what they’re doing: pointing fingers at others, primarily on the Right.
But what do I see the political Right doing today, as the Left tries to pin their own ideological sins on others?
Praying for the victims and their families.
Decrying the violence.
Crying out for justice.
Look in the mirror, America. And if you don’t like what you see? Get right with the One Who made you. Recognize the incalculable eternal value of every single one of your fellow human beings, no matter how developed, or “wanted,” or whether they agree with you politically or not. Work to reestablish an American culture that acknowledges God and which passes our priceless heritage of justice based on the protection of unalienable God-given rights on to the young - instead of brainwashing them with godless liberal ideology, or killing them before they can even be born.
Return to the timeless principles Frederick Douglass long ago called "the ringbolt of our nation’s destiny":
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men…”One last note to those on the Right:
“As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.” – Proverbs 26:2If you’re not pushing a merciless, godless, violent, death-loving ideology (like they are) you have nothing to worry about. Their unjust accusations won’t stick. Just keep doing the right thing. Keep praying. Keep defending life. Keep working to push back the godless, lawless, destructive delusions espoused by the Left, and God will work it all out.
Jared Lee Loughner
I don’t know, maybe the shooter.
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.
...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.
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.
Indeed.
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.
A pretty good fit with the article, too, I think.
I think you’re right, sadly.
Thanks. And I agree.
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.
