An honest moment about the future of America between two men.
Bill Clinton is generally trusted and respected by the left, and was an honest enough President to work with the Republican Congress to reform Welfare and balance the budget.
Paul Ryan is trusted and respected by the right, but despised by the left for his fiscal responsibility and willingness to tell the truth.
Only one of these men is treated with decency by the "mainstream media," which suits the narrative of the left. That narrative is being discussed here:
We all know the Democrat Party is going to use scare tactics to try to win every election they can in 2012, including the Presidential election.
Most of us have already seen the ridiculous commercial showing a man who appears to be Paul Ryan pushing "Grannie" off the cliff. The discussion between Clinton and Ryan is absolute proof that some Democrats know better than to believe that commercial represents the intentions of Paul Ryan's budget plan.
The Republicans attempted to begin the discussion that must be had, about the entitlement program that must be reformed. The Democrats, unfortunately, have the media in their back pocket; they will do all they can to use that media to their advantage as they continue to spend America into oblivion.
Please share this with everyone you know who isn't blinded by partisanship. If a person cares at all about America, this will tell them all they need to know about the Medicare debate.

My Thoughts Regarding the Passing of Osama bin Laden
As the news broke, my girlfriend and I were taking a break from Season One, Disc Five of “Lost.” Great series, I am learning. I’m glad she introduced me to it, and I look forward to watching all six seasons.
She came back and I said, “bin Laden is dead. We killed bin Laden.” She replied with some immediate shock, and then sat down next to me.
Within two minutes of President Obama beginning his “statement” last night, we had decided we knew enough and went back to our previously scheduled evening. We didn’t hear the part of President Obama’s speech during which he reportedly became a bit narcissistic and began to take all of the credit.
I don’t really care about that, to be honest. Given this President’s history it comes as little surprise, but President Obama is not the story on this day.
The story of this day is the opportunity for closure, and the ultimate gratitude that we should all give all of our servicemen and women, their families, and their friends. All who have been touched in some way by this evil man should be first on our minds this day.
I am grateful to President Obama for giving the order to kill, and I commend him for making the correct decision.
I am very disappointed in the New York representative, Gary Ackerman (D) who came out last night and proclaimed, “This is the ‘Mission Accomplished’ moment President Bush only fantasized about.” Shame on Congressman Ackerman; I hope he loses his next election.
It comes as little surprise, I must say, that Democrats are heaping endless praise on Obama.
Meanwhile Republicans are graciously praising Obama for recent actions including helping bin Laden meet Allah, while also remembering that it was George W. Bush who enacted all of the policies Obama scorned while campaigning, and yet continued to this point of fruition. President Obama would have been well served by thanking President George W. Bush for all his administration's hard work that led to this moment, yet it is my understanding through media reports that he made no such gesture.
Speaks volumes, in my opinion.
Thank you, President Bush. You truly are a respectable man whose grace and dignity will likely never be fully appreciated.
I have seen and heard some comments about the celebration of this killing, as if to say that America should not celebrate or feel good. I don’t feel like celebrating, but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that good was done at the moment that bullet pierced his skull.
Osama bin Laden was the mastermind of a form of modern warfare that, most likely, will never leave humankind. He perverted what otherwise might be a very reasonable religion to the point that otherwise very open-minded people may never again believe that Islam is anything but the work of The Devil himself.
Bin Laden was directly and indirectly responsible for the killing of thousands, perhaps into the hundreds of thousands or more individuals from all walks of life.
The work of bin Laden has only just begun, I believe, in the big scheme of things. His assassination is likely to cause martyr suicides over the coming days and weeks, and we may never know a world that does not have Radical Islamic Jihad.
Osama bin Laden is evil, defined.
While the death of any individual should never be celebrated, the killing of this man certainly is justified in every way possible.
I pray that this event brings some closure to the families that have been affected over the years.
It should be noted that America, even as it dealt with one of its most hated persons, showed what would be considered ultimate respect.
We reportedly washed bin Laden’s body and gave him a respectful burial, holding to the 24-hour tradition and wrapping him in a white sheet. I must say I agree with Glenn Beck when I say he deserved something more along the lines of a good Spam rubdown followed by being wrapped in bacon.
But America is better than that. We are good in the world, even when dealing with the most evil of all possible elements of humankind.
And when it all went down, the coward was hiding in a well-to-do neighborhood, in a very expensive property. Much of what he always claimed to be against, likely was his immediate surroundings as he took his last breath.
And he hid. Not only did he hide, but he hid behind a woman.
Osama bin Laden died while hiding behind a woman.
Good riddance.

Fox News Channel and Glenn Beck "Agree to Divorce"
Today it was announced that Glenn Beck and Fox News Channel will part ways. Here’s my take, if you care.
Glenn Beck and his staff have done more valuable research regarding the current Middle East situation than all of the “Big Three” networks' staffs, combined.
History will show that he predicted the American labor unions' involvement in the recent uprisings, at the highest levels of union leadership. Additionally, there will always be the somewhat unknown factor that Beck has touched on in recent days, which involves the current administration’s involvement in the planning of these uprisings. Perhaps before all is said and done it will not be an unknown, because if there is one thing I think we can expect from Glenn Beck, it is that he will go out with a bang if at all possible.
Beck has, almost without failure, predicted the economic crisis America now finds itself struggling through. No other major media figure can say the same. And while the “Big Three,” NPR, NYT, HuffPo, MSNBC, and CNN have all claimed the economic crash of 2008 to be “George W. Bush’s fault,” Beck has repeatedly offered accurate information about the 40 year build-up to the events that eventually helped Barack Hussein Obama get elected. While all the other networks claimed it was purely America's involvement in two Middle Eastern military theaters, Beck explained with accurate detail how Congress and Jimmy Carter began the entitlement program known as “The Community Reinvestment Act” that has been one of the biggest policy disasters in our nation’s history.
Beck will be fine without FNC, and FNC will be fine without Beck. Beck was a major media figure before he ever came to FNC; the network only gave him more exposure due to its larger audience.
Unfortunately the real winner in this situation is the Obama-manic lunatic fringe left, headlined by Soros and his “Educational organization” known as "Media Matters for America." They now have one less extremely accurate and persistent voice exposing them with the most powerful disinfectant – the truth. Of course, the Soros lackeys are all over MSNBC this evening taking credit for the "ouster" of Beck. One must wonder how MSNBC will fill the couple hours of programming they dedicate to Beck on a daily basis. Perhaps they’ll try… oh, never mind.

On My Mind, On A Wednesday
During my drive home from work today, I heard a report on the radio that caught my attention. The report was about regrets. I decided to look for a link about this story when I got home.
“Lost love tops list of most common regrets study reveals,” says the Toronto Star, which is one of the choices I had when I did a Google search for “regrets survey.” Fox News and MyFoxAtlanta offered links too, but we all know that Fox News lies and has an agenda, so I decided against them.
Funny, those Canadians are rumored to have such a good health care system, if you believe the liberal talking points. But the grammar in this headline, offered by a Canadian newspaper? I’m just ‘sayin…
The report discussed that certain things fall into certain categories of certain types of people. You know, polling data.
This is the same stuff they do to study the political climate, except this was about life, personally. Not that politics isn’t personal, but participating in political polling is just not the same as participating in a poll that says, “I regret thus and such and this and that,” knowing that if you’re female, you’re going to be told that you’re more likely to regret this, and that if you’re male, then you’re more likely to regret that.
So I thought about regret. I thought about the fact that I used to believe that I was regretful about some things in life, and that in my recent days I have learned how to live with less... and perhaps without, regret.
It is difficult to not regret some things, but I believe it is one of life’s great achievements to learn how not to regret, but instead to learn and grow from any experience.
Amyway… I got home and turned the boob-tube on, and flipped to that network where all they do is yell at their guests and make stuff up. That network was discussing some very interesting topics that really matter to good people, but I figured the stories must be lies, because again, this was Fox News Channel I was watching.
For example; Michelle Malkin reported tonight on Hannity about the fact that, according to the information provided by her syndicated columnand her blog, “Buried in Barack Obama's failed trillion-dollar stimulus program was a $10 million bloody border racket that has now cost American lives.”
She was talking about the fact that both parties of our government have known about, and actively participated in, the process of weapons being illegally transported across our border.
Remember, this is the network that Media Matters (an educational institution that certainly deserves its 501(c)(3) tax status) has openly accused of being “the de facto leader of the GOP.”But wait a minute… Bush was a Republican. Now I am confused…
Another fascinating discussion offered up on the network of choice amongst mean old white people who don’t want to give up their hold on power (at least that’s what I hear in the Huffington Post comments section all the time, and it seems The Village Voice concurs to some degree) was about Planned Parenthood.
It seems Planned Parenthood does not offer mammograms, yet they are receiving taxpayer dollars to be “The nation's leading sexual and reproductive health care provider and advocate.”
Hmm. I don’t think that’s right. Why should tax dollars to an organization that claims to be (at the risk of being redundant) “The nation's leading sexual and reproductive health care provider and advocate” if that organization does not provide one of the most important – (as in critical to womens’ health) reproductive health care services that exists?
America needs to cut spending, and if our tax dollars are going to continue to go to organizations that openly deceive the public as much as Planned Parenthood, we’re screwed.
This to me is not even an abortion issue; I am pro-life, but I don’t believe in making abortion illegal. I believe back-alley abortions will always exist, even if the procedure is outlawed, and that’s a worse option than having abortion remain legal.
The issue at hand is health, and life, and Planned Parenthood is deceitful as it claims to be about either.
And on the subject of health – as in health care and the health of America - Obamacare may just have been the real medicine America needed, but only a few of us saw it for what is really has turned out to be.
Now it is time for America to know the truth. We must fight the mainstream media with all of our might, because they bring horrendous misinformation, or just a complete lack of information, each an every night to your dinner table, or with your morning cup of coffee.
America’s health care system does need an overhaul, but over 2000 pages of legalese and billions of dollars hidden in ways to guarantee funding of a policy that is doing more harm than good?
The Democrats worked the system in shady ways to get the bill passed, and the media played along. Now we have hundreds of organizations, including some of President Obama’s biggest supporters (like SEIU), receiving waivers and not being forced to participate.
Isn’t that special…?
The Donald – Donald Trump says he is considering a run for The Presidency.
Trump is trying to play the “Birther” card, and it’s going to backfire on him. He has been on a few networks now, and on The View, and discussed the Obama birth certificate issue, and he risks it blowing up in his face.
I don’t care where he really stands on the issue, but this is an issue a smart politician does not want to interject into the debate, if he is a considering a serious run at The Presidency. I could run against Trump and win, if he doesn’t shut up quickly about that non-starter.
I must say, however, that if he were to shut up about the birth certificate and talk about policy, that while he might not be elected President he certainly can bring some good ideas to the discussion.
Trump has run a very successful business, lost his way and made some very bad decisions, and recovered. Sound familiar, with need for the recovery to make the story complete?
Earlier I mentioned that survey I heard about on the radio, and I mentioned how personal the survey was, as compared to politics. Well, lately politics has become very personal. The hyper-partisan rhetoric surrounding the Libya “kinetic military action” is astounding.
Many people, including me, believed that America's decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power was the correct decision. The truth is out there – Congress largely supported the decision, including many Democrats who later lied about their own position, and with the help of the media those same Democrats have been able to get away with those lies.
Meanwhile, they have said that George W. Bush lied, which is simply not the case. All the information, provided to all leaders foreign and American, said that Hussein had WMD’s in the lead up to the Iraqi invasion.
Anyway – today we have a man in office who clearly sees himself as special. I mean, what are we to think, when he has acted in exactly the same manner he once deemed unjust, and his now-VP said was worthy of impeachment?
President Bush formed a coalition in the build-up to the invasion of Iraq. This coalition was larger than that of President Obama, regardless of the current media’s lack of ability to report that as fact.
Bush went before Congress and requested funding for his actions; Obama? Not so much.
President Obama did not lead, and has not led, for even one moment of the Libya “kinetic military action.”
Oh, by the way… the same lawyer who helped George W. Bush work-around the legal mess related to water boarding? He supports Obama’s invasion into Libya.
President Obama has stood on his heels and allowed others to make decisions, in the effort to “not offend” the world with America's media-created “bossiness,” or “meanness,” or whatever it is that liberal Americans are so afraid of.
America is a leader when American is led by leaders, and we are lacking a leader. We have a man with a handsome face who gives a good speech, when reading from his script. He has a set of policies that are hell-bent on destroying everything that I know America's founding to be.
So as I am able to, in hindsight, question the decisions I believed were correct, I am being told I am a partisan.
I am partisan, I’m told by those on the left, because as I examine my previous views and opinions and apply my findings to the current situation, I don’t like any of what I see this President doing. Must be the color of his skin, I am told, or the fact that I just hate him because he is a Democrat.
Actually, not so much.
Truth is I find this President’s actions eerily similar to actions taken by the Republican in office eight years ago. There’s a different presentation to the activities, but all in all the situation is looking less like the kind of thing America needs to be doing, and more like the kind of thing America has become caught up in doing, because we are the only nation that will.
Well, perhaps it is time America stop doing it all, for the entire world.
American Exceptionalism is not about using our military clout to spread liberty around the world; American Exceptionalism is about being exceptional in our liberty, and setting an example that all the world should want to follow.
America has lacked leadership for a long time. Some of the men we have elected to office have been good moral men, others not so much. Some have left office and become much more statesman-like than we ever expected, and others have become seen as gentlemen once they left office, much more clearly than they were ever given credit for having been, while they served.
What America needs more than anything right now is someone who will stand up and tell the world that we are going to take care of ourselves and to stay off our lawn. And should anyone mess with us? Strike, we shall, with the fury of the rattlesnake on the Gadsden.

She was talking about the fact that both parties of our government have known about, and actively participated in, the process of weapons being illegally transported across our border.
“Like so many border programs run amok, Project Gunrunner was the spawn of Beltway bipartisanship,” Malkin offers as she opens her column.
“It was established in 2005 as a pilot project under the Bush administration and run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The intended goal of the program's sting operations: stop illicit firearms trafficking along the Southwest border through close surveillance of undercover gun purchases and coordinated intervention with Mexico. The deadly result: federally sanctioned gunwalking of high-powered weapons from U.S. officials right into the hands of drug cartel killers.”
Yes, that’s right. A Fox News guest openly discussing a disaster of political policy, and that disaster started under the Bush administration.Remember, this is the network that Media Matters (an educational institution that certainly deserves its 501(c)(3) tax status) has openly accused of being “the de facto leader of the GOP.”But wait a minute… Bush was a Republican.

To Not Speak Is To Speak
I have been quiet a while, I know.
I don't know how much I will write, but I am writing again, in more ways than one.
For the first time in years my guitars are coming out of their cases, and I am feeling good about my skills quickly this time. I am no Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I can strum a little, and I have a million thoughts going through my head. Life is good, and I am having fun.
I don't know exactly what it is.
Perhaps it is the beautiful springtime weather here in Phoenix, Arizona. Amazingly sunny and energetic days, cool yet not chilly evenings, and fresh air coming through my windows day & night.
Maybe it's a bit of a good vibe I have going at work; my workplace has some positive and forward thinking changes going on in the midst of the "recovery" we're being told we are experiencing.
Or it could possibly be the beautiful soul that has captured my heart... the woman I am eternally to grateful know, and privileged to call my girlfriend. Every moment I am with her is an adventure, and when I am not with her, I tell her "Baby… you where I want to be."
Duh. Winning.
Yes, I went there. Just when you thought you had heard the last about him.
Charlie Sheen.
Let me tell you something, Mr. Sheen.
(parental advisory, I am about to get honest and a little rough now)
Charlie, you are an asshole. Shut your mouth until you get some respect, you self-absorbed, inconsiderate, irresponsible little...
Boy.
I'd use another word that starts with "B" but I'd be insulting female dogs in the process.
Charlie Sheen experienced addiction. Good for him.
I too experienced addiction, and let me tell you - to stand before the entire world and claim that you are proud of "Banging seven-gram rocks" is just about the most irresponsible thing I have ever seen in my life, and trust me, I have seen and done some extremely irresponsible things.
Extremely. Irresponsible. Things.
Speaking of irresponsible...
I have not been writing because I decided I wanted to step back for a bit, get out of the blogging mindset, and reflect on the degree of my "partisan" attitude.
After a couple months or more of not being an active blogger, I will say with some great humility - there are some who "called me out" for being a bit hyper-partisan sometimes. I concur. Such is the nature of allowing ones self to become consumed with so much politics, I believe.
Yet in some cases, no matter the appearance, I am not a partisan. I am speaking straightforwardly as an American with no political axe to grind, only serious issues to address.
And this brings me to my point, as I come back to irresponsible:
Where the Hell is President Obama, as the world is literally on fire?
Mr. President, I'm damned glad you got your NCAA bracket completed. Now could you maybe pay attention to the millions of displaced, dead, and dying people in Japan?
Show some emotion. Say something inspirational, for God’s sake. Have a "Ronald Reagan moment."
You know, Ronald Reagan. The man who, as our leader, inspired America to greatness after one of the most depressing periods in our nation’s history?
The man who helped the world come together toward a peaceful resolution in the face of the Soviet Communist threat. Not the "Ronnie Raygun" your Huffington Post fan club constantly mocks, as if all he did was take a B-Movie acting career and turn it into political prowess.
Truth stands the test of time, and the truth is President Obama is no Ronald Reagan. Not even close.
I wanted to give this man a chance, since he seemed to get it… for about a minute. Granted his people and his swooning fan base swore the shooter was a right-wing militia type within minutes of the tragic shooting in Tucson, even though we have since come to learn that is the furthest thing from the truth, but nonetheless… I wanted to believe he was finally acting as the leader of all Americans.
I mentioned resolution. Sounds a bit like "revolution."
Say... isn't that what they're calling all that madness in the Middle East, the uprisings that your fan base is claiming you "inspired" with your incredibly intelligent and speeches about how the youth should rise up and "Hope" and Change" things?
Revolution, right?
Perhaps, Mr. President, since you were so inspirational to the youth in the Muslim world, you should take hold of that situation and "lead" those same youth by proxy to strive for real freedom - you know, the kind of freedom you claim you love so much every time you talk about the "rights" of public sector union workers...
Freedom. Freedom is what makes America the greatest nation on God's Earth. Freedom is not the ability for government to take taxes from all citizens through the mandatory collection service known as "Union Dues" and then give that money to a specific political party that "has your back."
That's called corruption.
Oh, and redistribution of wealth.
Certainly it is redistribution of income, since you (the government) take it directly out of the income of taxpayers who really do not realize how you and your cronies have worked the system in your favor. From my paycheck, through taxation, goes my income, into the paycheck of the public sector union member employee. From that person’s paycheck, through “union dues,” goes my income to the union. From the coffers of the union, through donations and other transactions, goes my income to the Democrat party. And from the Democrat Party comes higher taxes and more government employees, creating more unions and more union dues, and the ability to give union member public sector workers pay increases. And the beat goes on…
Freedom is about children having a real and honest opportunity for the best education available regardless of what “tenure” a person has, or the fact that some “collective bargaining agreement” says that someone can't be fired because they have "served" long enough they are untouchable, even if they are detrimental to the possible education of America’s youth..
Real teachers would give up collective bargaining in a minute if they were allowed to be truly concerned about the children and our future. Unfortunately they are instead mis-informed by their "union organizers" that they are being "screwed" by Republicans who are trying to "take away their rights." They then forget their primary concern, which in the case of most front-line educators really is the children. And the truth is that once a person has something, they certainly do not want it taken away, which makes the honest viewpoint of governors like Scott Walker in Wisconsin and John Kasich in Ohio all the more difficult to understand to the masses. Emotionally based arguments always play well with the crowd, and that’s what is going on in the polling on this subject. Anyone who could be put in front of the books of any level of government would soon see that we’re in deep, and it is going to take a lot of sacrifice by each and every one of us to work our way out. And that means “change.”
Remember “change?” We hoped for “change” and well… we got it.
We now have leadership that waits for the world to lead them. We have leadership that plays 18 holes of golf as one of our closest allies suffers one of the most horrific natural disasters in modern history. We have leadership that tells us that we all have to have some “skin in the game,” while dining on meals created of food beyond our wildest dreams and throwing parties like they are the owners of a nightclub or a country club or island resort.
Say a prayer for the people of Japan. Those people are so kind that a man apparently walked into a store and picked up ten bottles of water. As he walked toward the counter, he realized that if he took all ten, then others would not be able to have water, so he kept two bottles and returned eight to the shelf.
Another woman was apparently washing clothes – probably the only clothes she owned anymore, so she was in less than full dress. She reportedly apologized to someone for her “inappropriate” appearance. Can you imagine?
Imagine an American protester in Wisconsin acting with such humility. I struggle to see it as even possible after some of the things I saw them do and hearing the recordings of some of their statements. Not to mention the direct threat on the life of Governor Scott Walker and Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature.
Yet the Tea Party people are violent, racist, and full of hate… so the media say.
God Bless.
I don't know how much I will write, but I am writing again, in more ways than one.
For the first time in years my guitars are coming out of their cases, and I am feeling good about my skills quickly this time. I am no Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I can strum a little, and I have a million thoughts going through my head. Life is good, and I am having fun.
I don't know exactly what it is.
Perhaps it is the beautiful springtime weather here in Phoenix, Arizona. Amazingly sunny and energetic days, cool yet not chilly evenings, and fresh air coming through my windows day & night.
Maybe it's a bit of a good vibe I have going at work; my workplace has some positive and forward thinking changes going on in the midst of the "recovery" we're being told we are experiencing.
Or it could possibly be the beautiful soul that has captured my heart... the woman I am eternally to grateful know, and privileged to call my girlfriend. Every moment I am with her is an adventure, and when I am not with her, I tell her "Baby… you where I want to be."
Duh. Winning.
Yes, I went there. Just when you thought you had heard the last about him.
Charlie Sheen.
Let me tell you something, Mr. Sheen.
(parental advisory, I am about to get honest and a little rough now)
Charlie, you are an asshole. Shut your mouth until you get some respect, you self-absorbed, inconsiderate, irresponsible little...
Boy.
I'd use another word that starts with "B" but I'd be insulting female dogs in the process.

Together We Thrive: Tucson And America - An Analysis By One Arizona Resident
As an Arizonan I was very proud of the statements made during tonight's gathering in Tucson that discussed the nature of Tucson and our state as a community.
Arizonans have been misrepresented in a very unfair way by certain elements of the left who think we are all bigots and racists who want to live in the Wild West of the early 19th century.
Our laws are being called into question because of the actions of one clearly deranged individual, and we as a community are being deemed irresponsible and uncaring. We are being smeared with generalities by people who do not live here, who may rarely if ever visit here, and who most definitely do not understand what goes on here during the course of everyday living.
Arizonans are generally good, law abiding people with kind hearts and sound principles. We love our neighbors, our state, and our nation. We do not at all reflect the image that has been put forth by those who think we are all gun toting rednecks. We are as diverse and open a society of unique individuals as one will find across this great land. We are Americans who believe (for the most part) in individual liberties, and we understand and respect the responsibilities that come with such rights.
Sadly, there has been a tragedy in our state that has taken from us six of our family. Additionally, a good and decent woman was injured in a catastrophic way that will affect her for the rest of her life. Her injuries may render her unable to function in her role of Congressional Representative, but thankfully she is alive and may recover better than was originally expected.
All involved in the treatment of Gabrielle Giffords deserve the highest of praise. Due to her prominence on the national level it is natural for the media to focus on Congresswoman Gifford’s injuries in a seemingly obsessive way, but her condition is truly remarkable.
Regarding the media:
Paul Krugman should be ashamed of himself for inciting an extremely irrational level of discourse with his hyperbolic rant on Saturday afternoon in The New York Times, just a couple of hours after the shootings took place. His disgraceful misrepresentation of the commentary of conservatives has opened the floodgates for every loon on the left to blame Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, and anyone else with whom they disagree with politically.
To disagree with someone’s politics is fine; to accuse them of murder-by-proxy is irresponsible and embarrassing. Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and the staffs of Huffington Post and other leftist blogs should go back to Journalism 101, or admit that they are pundits with an agenda and may not be offering facts, but definitely put forward their opinion.
Partisan hacks like Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who have chosen to make this an issue of politics and finger-pointing rather than a time of mourning and understanding should hang their heads in shame. This guy is a clown and a disgrace to law enforcement. Soon it will come to light that he is guilty of conspiracy to cover up crimes by the alleged murderer Jared Loughner, all because Loughner’s mother worked for the Pima County Parks and Recreation department.
Finally, I must say:
To say the least, I find it fascinating that those on the political right have been very civil in their discussion about the events that took place in Tucson last Saturday, while those on the political left have been extremely irresponsible, simply pointing fingers and attempting to lay blame at all those except the truly guilty Jared Loughner.
It is now considered by many to be fact that Sarah Palin is complicit in the shootings, essentially guilty of murder-by-proxy. Also, she is also believed to have interjected herself into the discussion with the map that was created more than six months prior to Saturday.
By the way; there has been absolutely no mention by the left about the very same type of map that was used by the Democrat Party in the 2004 election.
And even though Jared Loughner is said to have had no interest in politics and never to have listened to talk radio or watch political discussion on television, it seems Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck have incredibly strong influence over his mind.
Of course, that would make perfect sense, given that Loughner was fearful of “though control,” although if I understand correctly it was the government he suspected of such actions.
Up until the moment that the guy went on the cheerleader rant about President Obama, this was a very pleasant gathering.
I mean no disrespect to our President; that introduction was partisan and unnecessary. This is a gathering to celebrate and honor the lives of the fallen, not to raise the roof for an elected official.
Thankfully President Obama recovered the situation well. I believe The President spoke well and offered the correct message, given the situation and the tone of the rhetoric across the nation right now.
And while I agree with President Obama that we should not score political points at a time of mourning, I must compliment him for handling this situation very well, both as a politician and a non-partisan leader of America.

At The Request of The President, A More Civil Discussion
So President Obama asked the nation for a more civil level of discourse, and tonight on MSNBC, Chris Matthews and Lawrence O'Donnell are busy discussing the "most controversial thing" Sarah Palin said in her Facebook video earlier.
The two "progressive" "journalists" are also still obsessed with why Palin used a map with "targets" on it to display what districts she believed were most important to go after during the 2010 midterm election, and why she seems to enjoy talking about guns. According to O'Donnell, Palin "entered the story immediately after the shooting because of her placement of a target on a map" which included Gabrielle Gifford's Congressional seat. Apparently Palin has incredible abilities to forecast events in the future, because I don't think any of the rest of us knew this shooting was going to take place. I guess Mrs. Palin must have incredible powers over Jared Loughner, even though he is reported to have no interest in politics.
Not once on MSNBC has it been mentioned that President Obama discussed that "If they bring a knife to a fight, we bring a gun" and that Republicans are "The enemy."
And they are absolutely reeling over the fact that the new Speaker of The House John Boehner did not attend tonight's events in Tucson. Apparently political points still matter at MSNBC, regardless of President Obama's suggestion that we look past partisan differences, and that if we are to have a discussion about the reasons for this tragedy we make that discussion worthy of the lives lost and affected by the senselessness.
Good thing they got the message on the left side of the partisan media divide.
Meanwhile on Fox News Channel, Greta Van Susteren is discussing the remarkable character of Gabrielle Giffords, who has in the past been a frequent guest on Greta's show.
And in the immediate aftermath of the event, Bret Baier and his panel of guests spent time discussing what a wonderful tone was set by President Obama and the entirety of tonight's events.
They remarked about how well The President handled the unorthodox environment in which the event took place, and how he truly did speak to the goodness of Americans as he asked that we find a way to raise the level of discourse.
Clearly it is true that Fox News Channel is evil, dangerous, and a branch of the Republican Party.
