A perfect example of the disconnect of politics

I write a blog posting about what is happening with the political discourse in America and the loonies come out.

Case in point, a comment to this posting, that I did not approve. But wanted to share with you all:

You have seriously lost your mind.

The physical political violence is strictly a leftist phenomenon for say the last, hmmmm 150 years, starting with John Wilkes Booth and Lincoln (wonder which one was the Dem?)

We can leave out the acts of domestic terrorism perpetrated by the KKK (From the Dem Solid South) as to numerous to mention.  Lets go to Lee Harvey Oswald ( a card carrying Communist, lived in Cuba-or tried to- shot JFK cuz he was not leftist enough), James Earl Ray (card carrying Dem, proud one til the day he died) and Sirhan Sirhan (Palestinian who shot RFK cuz he did not sympathize enough with his cause).

Now this Leftist shot Giffords cuz he was disappointed Giffords did not support Pelosi and voted against her for Speaker, the final straw in his–and Kos–book.

America is starting to slowly catch on to the MSM lie and deceit.  Unfortunately there is enough of the population who just don’t care that they are being lied to.

😯

Wow…..Just Wow….. Not sure whether to have Alex Jones or Rush Limbaugh to call their offices. The disconnect in that comment to reality boggles the mind.

To this I simply ask —- just who the hell was Timothy McVeigh?

Let’s allow his fans to answer that….

Here are comments from Timothy McVeigh’s Wikipedia entry, from the talk section:

He was a TRUE AMERICAN HERO and then the HOMELESS VETERAN was framed by the crooked government. The article says McVeigh is a terrorist. I agree. However, Mir Aimal Kasi did not have any ties to any organization (like McVeigh) and he was determined not to be a terrorist as a result. Furthermore, the mass murder at the access road to the CIA was determined not to be a terrorist act because of this.

In case you’ve forgotten, McVeigh did this:

and this….

and said this:

Finally McVeigh left his rent-a-cop job and the Buffalo area saying, “I gotta get out of this place, it’s all liberals here.”  Then, early in 1993, he took off with everything he owned, and began driving around America, hoping to find some meaning in his life.

But he began by looking in all the wrong places.

Was McVeigh a Christian? It depends on whom you believe and where you read. Some places say yes and some say No. I cannot sit here and pretend to know what the Religious leanings of McVeigh actually were; so, I will not try. What I will say is this:

Folks, McVeigh was one of ours. A lone wolf yes. But what is known about the man was this — He had a profound hate of the Government, He was enraged of the raid gone bad, of the religious compound in Waco, Texas. In fact, he was down there in Waco, Texas, when the raid went down. No amount of spin, denial or counter-blame will ever change this.

Not that there is anything wrong with not liking Big Government. It is what you choose to do with that disliking. At some point, McVeigh’s thought process became clouded, whether with sickness produced by the war or by some sort of extremist views fueled by extremist right wing propaganda. All of that really does not matter — what really matters is what he choose to do and that was murder innocent people.

Further more, this very idea that violence is a strictly a product of the left; is idiotic at best and I am sorry, but that is just plain stupid. I will not sit here with blinders on and allow some knucklehead to not only insult me personally — But also sit here and write out right lies in the comments section of my blog.  The truth is, politically motivated violence happens and both sides of the political divide have produced their own fair shares of crazies.

The whole crux of the problem is that we have never allowed these acts of terror, these crimes, carried out by political extremists or mentally impaired persons — to make us stop and reflect for just a moment on what it is that we actually print or even say. All that ever happens is that the right likes to blame the left and the left points to the right. How about both sides to just accept responsibility and say to ourselves, “Yeah, we blew it here badly….”? That however, would require that both sides would have to admit at least some sort of culpability.

….and because this, a 9 year old girls life was cut short, a 22 year old man is in jail for murder — and six families are burying their dead this week.

We must do better than this. Our lives depend on it.
