New McCarthyism

Share
This weekend, a Congresswoman was shot. The liberal media wasted no time levying unfounded accusations at people like Sarah Palin. She was guilty without any evidentiary support of their claims. The media called for national policy as a reactionary measure to a psychotic individual, because it coincided conveniently with a political aim.

If the shooter had any ties to the radical Christian right, you would have heard about it immediately. Whenever someone is a Republican or a Christian (whatever denomination) or a rich businessman, they waste no time blazing that message across the sky from horizon to horizon. You are guilty, not because of what you did, but because of what you are. No longer do you have to be a certain race or nationality; those things are protected, but if you disagree with them theologically or politically, they will drag you before a congressional committee and force you to prove that you are innocent. So much for the Constitution.

Before that blood tribunal of media, they ignore the tragedy that a Representative was shot. No mention is made of the other lives shattered, children left fatherless, women widowed, and pain and suffering incurred by other victims of the massacre. It immediately became a political issue, but was a red herring. Since the shooting, they have levied accusations in editorials masquerading as news. These opinion pieces sway the opinions of people who read them, because they are not longer confined to the Editorial section.

The next time liberals pull out McCarthyism, remember this. They mentioned a gun was involved, that illegal immigration had been an issue, and so devoid of common decency for the victims they were, they immediately made it a means to an end. The victims become pawns, their bodies a vehicle to advance the agenda of the left. Reports are virtually identical across the networks, and they even parrot the exact same phrases in tandem repeats, as the endovirus of leftist thinking wedges its way into the fabric of society. The political tactic of the left is "never let a good crisis go to waste."

Earlier today, an old college friend of mine posted to Facebook that she "Dreams of a day when people will not define themselves as right or left, liberal or conservative, but simply as American. We are all on the same team." Well, notice who says those kinds of things. This shooter wasn't on the same team, and the reporters who have said he is on a team have not given him the allowance that "well, he was just doing his part of the team's job" because it's not part of the team to commit crimes against other members of the team. Yet, the left, including my friend, wants to take things from you because it's good for the team. This guy wasn't on our team. He doesn't seem to have been concerned with what's right for America because his solution was a campaign of violence. That is the tactic of the lawless, which is not American at all.

Almost a decade ago, if you forgot or if you weren't alive or aware in 2001, a lawless band of mercenaries continued a protracted war against the Law. They flew planes into buildings full of innocent people. Even if there were guilty among them, that's not how you bring justice, and it's not conducive to our justice system to treat a man as guilty until and unless it is proven. After all, DNA has exonerated many people, which proves that our system, while very good, isn't perfect either. As a knee-jerk-reaction, the left thinks we should surrender more and more liberties. They conveniently forget that they are behind the push to impose restrictions on the liberties of others. The Democrat party was responsible for Don't Ask/Don't Tell. The Democrat party forestalled the civil rights movement. The Democrat party ordered American citizens of Japanese, German, and Italian ancestry interned. The Democrat party ordered the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Democrat The Democrat party is usually the first one to point out the mote in someone's eye, unless of course that person fights against the Constitution. Before you get on the band wagon opposed to guns as a consequence of this cowardly shooting, remember that the terrorists killed thousands on 9/11, and to my knowledge, none of the victims were shot.

Just to further season the story, we have just now discovered that the judge who was shot was a Republican. He died. The democrat congressman will live, and they're trying to make a big deal out of that without mention of the political ideology of the judge or the young girl who were killed.
