From the editor,
In
most cases I don't really wish to express my views on this web, site but
the views of others. However, with the anniversary of the Columbine High
School Tragedy. I am reminded of another tragic anniversary very
close to home. That was the bombing of the Oklahoma City Murrah Building
at 9:02 a.m. on April 19, 1995.
There's not much to remember. The whole
city became quiet. No one wanted to smile. No one wanted to eat. No one
wanted to feel anything. Anger was suppressed by pain. Fear of hurting
someone with a friendly hello was in the back of all of our minds. All
we could do is whisper in the shadows with our closest friends and repeat
the same conversation. "Why? I don't understand it."
I had the difficult task of
preparing a Neighborhood Watch Newsletter during that time, and we had
at least one neighbor that I knew of who we had to breathe services over
due to this act of stupid, cowardly violence.
And then President Clinton
visited.
I had never thought much of
him , but his words were soothing and strong. I was lulled by his sympathies
and encouraged by his promise of vengeance on this heinous crime.
Then I turned on the television.
My lowered defenses had not prepared me for the fatal blow which I painfully
received as President Clinton used the still warm scattered bodies in Oklahoma
City as a soapbox to attack........CONSERVATIVE RADIO TALK SHOW HOSTS!!!
That's right! Instead of placing
the blame at the feet of the killers, he used the open bleeding hearts
of America to take a political punch at his greatest enemy.
Sound familiar? "Well, let's
see... We can't blame the NRA. No guns were used. We can't blame moving
vehicles. We'd be laughed at. We can't blame the manure. How about the
cows?...No."
Here's an idea.
PLACE
THE BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS. BLAME THE IDIOTS WHO DID IT!
Who
know how long it's been going on. I know it's not the first time, and now
here it is five years later and it's still going on. Taking pot shots at
innocent people is the media's and politician's favorite pastime. Only
in media and politics will you find this total lack of simple logic.
Take this logic
test.:
1 truck of explosive manure + 1 killer
+ murder of 168 men, women and children =___
(a) Punish Radio Talk Show Hosts
(b) Punish Cows
(c) Punish the NRA
(d) Punish the killer.
Test two:
1 gun + 30 pipe bombs + 2 disturbed students + 15 dead and 28 wounded=___
(a) Punish
the school.
(b) Punish the guns.
(c) Punish the NRA.
(d) Punish the two disturbed individuals who could not
understand the value of life and planned a detailed attack of their unarmed and
innocent fellow beings by planting 30 pipe bombs strategically throughout a high school
building and then storming the building shooting or sparing whomever they balanced
worthy in the scale of their twisted mind.
