Bad Monday made worse
Some trifling ass individual took it upon himself to open fire on a church in Knoxville, Tenn.
The church was gay-friendly and the shooter supposedly hated "liberals," "blacks," "gays," and folks who were different from him.
Things have become so damned ugly when it comes to polarization in America.
When Bush was elected, I never thought it was the end of the world. I certainly didn't vote for him but when he was sworn it, I never felt the need to stand on South Carolina highways wailing like a banshee and tearing my clothing.
It's sad that we have gotten to the point where people are marked as the "enemy" in society.
Now at this point, I could go on a tangent about One News Now. All one has to do is read the comments on that "news site" to get the gist of what I am talking about.
However, I won't because it would make me sound a bit hypocritical, especially when one takes into account how I have talked about the lies of the "anti-gay industry."
I will say that I have never advocated violence. I have always advocated fighting lies against the lgbt community by spreading truth and letting people know the distortions told about us.
And I have said on many occasions that there is nothing wrong with someone believing that homosexuality is a sin.
My problem is when organizations are knowingly spreading false and discredited data while at the same time embracing principles like God and country.
In the long run, I don't believe that anyone who disagrees with homosexuality is inherently evil or intolerant. And I certainly don't believe that they deserve to be executed
When it's all said and done, this situation will be remembered as one of a coward who, instead of taking care of business, blamed other people for his problems and took it upon himself to hurt innocents; some who probably didn't know him from Adam and others who would have probably helped him if he talked to them rather than shoot them.
But we can all learn from this incident. We do need to watch our words and pull back from our pronouncements of doom.
You never know who we may be giving perfect excuses to.

I had some time this morning to be on Townhall.com. They had a news story about the shooting. The comments section got nasty when it was confirmed that it was a gay friendly church and the shooter had planned the attack for more than a week. Shortly thereafter, Townhall took down the story. I have to wonder if Mike S. Adams will have something to say about this incident in his next Townhall column?
Figures. I was on Townhall this weekend looking at how Robert Knight was trying to spin Elaine Donnelly's bad testimony.
The comments denegerated into a talk about anal sex and when I pointed out that heterosexuals engage in the practice also (citing a magazine article) folks there were all "I doubt your sources. You are making them up."
I am interested to see how if Townhall will allow future columns on the Tennessee situation at all.
I read Knight's article and commented on Knight's article and the comments of others at Townhall. As, I think you have commented on, who in the heck is behind the Center for Military Readiness? Who was the idiot that invited her to the hearing? I have read that one lesbian who was present at the hearing was at the Pentagon when it was attacked on 9/11. What I read was that she no longer advises gays/lesbians to serve. The added stress that we must serve under is just not worth it. Where are the Goldwater Republicans? Even Mr. Conservative supported the gay rights movement.
My guess is the Center for Military Readiness is some dummy group that has the agenda of keeping gays out of the military. I'm pretty sure Ms. Donnelly was "selected" as the head of the group.
It's the same thing as Project 21, a group of supposed black conservative. Someone puts up the money and they get invited to write columns and such pretending to be "legitimate" spokespeople. It's a HUGE racket and I really wish the media would look at these groups. The anti-gay industry is full of them.
