Hate is out of control in the post Bush years. First we have Mr. Looney Tunes shooting and assassinating abortion doctor, George Tiller two weeks ago and continuing to sound his message of hate over the television airwaves. Now, we get notice of a shooting at the Holocaust Museum in DC, but what do we think he was there to do? It sure wasn't to go the exhibits. Admittedly, we don't know yet as to the cause of the rifleman in the Holocaust Museum.
The point is these atrocious actions are the result of the politics of hate. Words spoken in the world of 24/7 news do have an impact. They result in deliberate actions as is evidenced by the recent atrocities. Wonder of wonders, the suspected murderer of Dr. Tiller has reached his personal Nirvana. He has climbed from relative obscurity in Kansas to an international pulpit viewed daily on the news. The absurdity is profound.
The Bush years are the gift that keeps on giving. They were masters of the message deeply infiltrating the culture with seeds of fear and hate. Thank you very much Karl Rove and your minions. These guys and gals were taught how to harness the airwaves of television and the Internet. They became the titans of manipulation showering divisive messages, and the work was extraordinary. They were more skillful then Madison Avenue. Maybe Microsoft should hire you to merchandise their new search engine, Bing!
Every major issue facing this country has been tarnished by their polarizing messaging -- whether it is climate crisis legislation, nuclear proliferation, Mid East peace, stem cell research and treatment, women's reproductive rights, health care reform, or gay marriage. These issues have been infused with emotion, partisan affiliations and religiosity. Yet here we are late for the train with a well oiled message machine, a weary populace, and a greedy media willing to sell their mothers for a story.
Today, an elderly suspected white supremacist walks into the Museum of the Holocaust with a gun and a car filled with explosives with intent to do harm. We are living in a world of hurt, domestic unrest and a country bled dry financially and morally. When will it stop?
Here's the accurate description of the Holocaust Museum shooter:
"Von Brunn wrote that he believed Christianity is a cult created by St. Paul and proliferated by Jews. Christianity’s set of “dangerous, imbecilic, concepts, tenets, and teachings, often treasonous, destroyed the Roman Empire and drenched the soil of Europe with Aryan blood for almost 2000 years!”"
The real fear expressed in this article is against the "hidden child" in abortion from whom they wish to divert your attention. "DON'T LOOK, ETHEL!" And the real destruction of what is most valuable to two people and to a nation...the blessing of a child. This is not a curse, but a joy. But...SSSHHHHHH! Don't say the word "D.E.A.D. B.A.B.Y." You'll wake up the people...and they'll wonder what the world is coming to..... Pro-lifers LOVE BABIES! And the American people. And if you don't want your baby, don't violate the fifth Commandment, take it to a hospital and leave it there for adoption. God bless you all. This is love speech. If I love you, I tell you the truth.

You won't like it, but it's true!
At the same time, how much attention has the left side of the equation paid to the shooting of a military recruiter by a black Muslim who was radicalized in jail? We need to be vigilant about radicalization from all the known sources and not jump on the ones that are politically convenient.
Perhaps we should keep Gitmo open and incarcerate all of these dissident domestic terrorists there.
There is a word for this: its called sedition.
For the good of this country and the future of our world, we need to act now to stop this before it gets worse.
Free Speech aside, you can not yell FIRE in a crowded theater without being held accountable for the result. Even when no one is hurt, your actions are STILL hel accountable for the POSSIBLE result of harm.
We need to uphold this standard and apply it to those that are instigating this violence.
Some hate is just worthy of more commentary. SOME hate is more heinous than others.
SOME hate is ignored. Some hate is exploited.
Now let's measure which is which -- and it will answer LOTS of questions about our culture and it's managers.
If there is an answer to this problem I don't see it.
