My heart goes out to all those who have suffered from the horrific events that occurred on Friday, December 15, 2012 in Newtown, CT. The only solace I can provide is that the Lord, Our God, is watching over the families of the slain. Those taken in this tragedy are with God where no pain, death, or harm exists. May the Lord bless Newtown, CT as it rebuilds from this devastation. I ask that everyone send out prayers, as I and my family will do, for the next several nights. May God bless them all.
What saddens me the most, besides the tragedy itself, is the political stance many are taking. Before the bodies of the dead are returned to their families, and in many cases not yet identified, the Left has already begun a full fledged attack on firearms to further their political agenda (how shameful!) (HollywoodReporter.com & NYDailyNews). They are advancing their disgusting policies before a proper period of mourning. Their childishness forces others to react in order to defend the many decent law abiding Americans who understand that not everything is about politics. It is with that in mind that I continue this post bearing a heavy heart.
No one is talking about the real issues facing this nation. For example, why aren't we discussing the lack, the rejection, the removal of concepts like good and evil from the culture? Moral relativism and secularism took the place of accepted morality and God. We don't talk about the policies that eliminate humanity. Where was the Left when it was reported that sixty percent of black children are aborted in New York State (NYTimes)? Where is the outrage when the media invents stories like the "trench coat mafia" after the Columbine shootings (I'll never forget when someone who grew up in Columbine told me that was all lies) and gives press time to a few lunatics? Why isn't there any discussion about all the movies, music, and video games that promote horrid violence and lust, or the breaking up of the family unit that wreaks havoc on kids?
Furthermore, where are the real men? Why is it we only hear of the heroic acts of the great females that did all they could to protect the children, like the principal and school psychologist (YahooNews) and the brave, phenomenal women who acted, and in some cases gave their lives, to save their students (NYDailyNews & ABCNews (Sadly, in this last article, the political correctness that is killing our society is clearly seen as one teacher told students to pray if the believe in it and think happy thoughts if they do not. Why make that distinction when life and death are on the line?)). Was there not one man to step forward and try to stop this creep, even while he was reloading? Has the feminization of men made them all cowards? What happened to defending woman and children? Is it because the media is constantly telling us to be afraid of death from accidents, killer viruses, and meteorological, planet-killing events?
Plus, how does focusing on guns help to stop these awful events? In China, where there are no rights and tight controls on literately everything, there is an increase in violent crime (Boston.com), including people slashing children with knives (ABCNews). In addition, Mark Levin often points out that in the 9/11 attacks not one gun was used, and recently murderers set victims on fire using gasoline (TheDenverChannel.com). Also, the vast majority of mass shootings happen in gun-free zones, where firearms are not permitted (FoxNews). Imagine if just one other person in that school carried a concealed firearm who could have stopped or slowed down this freak. And lets not forget Timothy McVeigh, the Lefts favorite "right-wing" mass murdered, who used manure to blow up a building, or the 1920's murder of forty young students using dynamite (Wikipedia). The list of non-gun mass killings is innumerable.
And say guns are totally banned from society, including military, police, and illegal. Does anyone honestly believe that there would be no more horrific violence? As pointed out in the last paragraph, the gun is not the only tool used to hurt others. However, some would further the argument by saying if there were no guns, it would be harder to commit a large number of murders at once, making some think twice about acting like or slowing down the progress of sociopaths. That is also a false premise. A determined mind will find a way to carry out its missions. Suicide bombers do not use guns, and they injure and create chaos often.
So, what is wrong with this nation? As Rush Limbaugh has said, the soul of the country is gone. Nearly one hundred years of progressive ideology has removed decency in American culture and replaced it with immorality. When will we have the national debate that recognizes the real problem in this country, that life is no longer sacred. Until that is addressed these sad and heartbreaking happenings will continue.
