Lost In Tucson

Right on cue, the usual media suspects seized the opportunity to politicize another American tragedy. Instead of coming together as a country, it's the same old divisive song and dance from the left. Before any of the details of the recent Arizona shooting were sorted out, liberal news outlets wasted no time in dishing out the blame.

Let's blame Rush Limbaugh! Let's blame Sarah Palin! And last, but not certainly least, let's blame George F*cking Bush!

Hey, here's a crazy idea! How about we blame the guy who pulled the trigger? Just in case you're interested, his name is Jason Loughner.

Lost among all of the finger pointing is the fact that six people were killed and fourteen more were injured by the 22 year-old lunatic. Their only mistake was being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Among his victims was nine year old, Christina Green. One of her goals in life was to become the first woman to play baseball in the Major Leagues. Because of Loughner, Christina will never get that chance. This innocent child came into this world on the day of one American tragedy (September 11, 2001) and sadly, went out of it on another. Today, Christina's parents said goodbye to their little girl for the last time. It breaks my heart just to think about it. If I were in charge of the criminal justice system, I would have "Christina" tattooed across Jason Loughner's forehead so he would have to think about her every time he looks in the mirror.

And I must mention that those idiots at Westboro Baptist Church are at it again. They were planning a protest at Christina Green's funeral. Something has to be done about this nonsense. These sadistic dickheads only backed off after they were promised airtime on a talk radio station. If the whole Westboro congregation got hit with a bolt of lightning (or a baseball bat) tonight, I would sleep sound. They are lower than whale shit......

And let's not forget the focus of this tragedy.  Her name is Gabrielle Giffords. So... who exactly is Gabby? She's just a woman who has the guts to stand up for what she believes. And I couldn't care less if she's a Democrat, Republican or a member of the Whig party. She's a fellow American and she certainly didn't deserve this.  Because of a deranged, scumbag loser named Jason Loughner, she's now fighting for her life in a hospital bed. As an American, this really pisses me off!

The only good news is that Rep. Giffords is showing signs of progress. That's the best we can hope for.

My thoughts go out to all of the victims and their families.
