Stop The Nonsense

A terrible tragedy happened in our country last week then that young man attempted to shoot a congresswoman and killed  several people in doing so.  He did not just severally injure her but he killed a federal judge and  several others, one a nine year old girl.

What he did was terrible.  Who are some people trying to blame?  They are trying to blame several others instead of the killer.

They are saying Sara Palin is to blame because of Her target list.  Well I saw that list and what she had in mind had nothing to do with killing any one.
It had to do with defeating people in the elections, not going out and mowing them down in a parking lot.  And her list was no worse then what Obama said .
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said in Philadelphia last night. “Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
  Was he suggest that every one pack some heat when they go to one of his town meetings?  No.  Any sane person would know that.  He was simply saying a phrase many have said for years when they are involved in some sort of disagreement and he was going to wit to handle things.

Are Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh responsible?  They have said some pretty rough things.  I do not care for their style so I don't watch them but they are not responsible for what happened either.  They never suggested he kill anyone.

They are taking this tragedy and twisting it around into something political and that is wrong. We should be gathering together and trying to come up with some plausible reason as to why this guy did and what more we can do to prevent it instead of all this silly name calling and blaming.http://nation.foxnews.com/arizona-shooting-rampage/2011/01/11/listen-lefties-jon-stewart-doesn-t-play-blame-game

  3. I think all the pointing fingers are so stupid. It's what people do these days - twist a situation for their own benefit somehow. If a competing politician can get bonus points by pointing the finger at another for something that may have little to do with them and certainly is not their responsibility, they will. We live in strange times. But people don't like that responsibility is up to every person, not just those in power. People yap that they want freedom but they don't - they want to be children. Freedom requires that you take responsibility for yourself.

  4. People are dead. Families are grieving over what this nut did and they want to make political hay out of it.
