People die everyday at the hands of others who are ‘off’ in one way or another. An unstable ‘pro-lifer’ killing an avowed ‘baby killer’ (what else is inside a women one day before her due date?), is bigger news than an American recruited in prison, let out, and killing his own in the name of Islam/Allah/Jihad/Whatever is glossed over? Is this the pattern you are talking about? If so, yeah, seen that movie before. Everyday in this country more violence, LEGAL violence, is committed against our most vulnerable, weakest citizens, than the whole of those who died on 9/11. We still mourn those lost at the hands of ‘outsiders’ who hate us, want us dead. Yet, a man like Tiller, who was actually looked up to by so many, dealt in death on a daily basis and no one bats and eye (except those who believe the Constitution, that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL). Even the leader of NOW stated, staight up, that ‘life begins at conception’…so she is all for killing that life if it’s ‘inconvenient’, or a ‘danger’ to the more important woman carrying it. Well, as my daughter so flippantly (and totally taken out of context) put it. Let’s turn their rhetoric on them. Tiller was a danger to the lives of MANY women (and men, albeit, very young), Tiller was a hinderence to the well-being/career/lives of many women (not just those he killed for profit, but the women who will suffer PTSS and other ills, including higher risk for breast cancer). I could go on all day using the Pro-Abort logic of why it’s okay and LEGAL to kill an unwanted person. And that’s the kicker…it’s all about the ‘wantedness’ of the human in question. We’ve all read the stories of people being charged with two counts of manslaughter if a pregnant woman dies…anyway…Maybe this man, in his fevered, half crazed mind was just performing a very ‘late term’ abortion. Seriously, if our President stated that it was okay to allow children of ‘late term’ abortions to just die, what is the difference? Mom and doctor wanted, expected a ‘dead baby’ from the experience, right? They say there is a fine line between genius and insanity. Maybe this shooter took the above kind of ‘logic’ and it pushed him over the edge. Maybe he felt his life forfeited was worth the lives saved by one less ‘baby killer’ on the scene?
Bottom line. The shooter of Tiller was a killer, just like the ‘good’ (meaning sucessful at his chosen profession) doctor, of course on a much smaller scale. After all, this man, who was catagorically mentally deranged, only killed ONE MAN. Doesn’t anyone see the imbalance? The world has gone crazy, and this guy will be made into an example from the left, used as a poster boy to paint ALL pro-life people with the same “radical” brush. Tiller will become their humanist brand of ‘martyr’, and it will be a talking point for way too long.
At the same time, news programs will be too occupied with this story to focus on the dangers of these real terrorist cells on our domestic soil, within our prisons recruiting to their ’cause’.
Instead of keeping an eye on the dog in the yard, shouldn’t we be more concerned with the man bearing down on us with the gun behind the curtined window?
Talk about slight of hand.
