The shooting in Arizona was horrible. For me the worst part was finding out a 9 year old little girl was a victim of this tragedy.
We have watched children gunned down in schools by fellow students; workers in post offices, manufacturing plants, and other businesses killed by co-workers or disgruntled former employees; school board members shot by an angry parent; and men in military uniform gunned down on military facilities by a religious zealot. And, of course, thousands of people were killed by those who hate America on December 7 and September 11.
America is full of wonderful, loving people who will go out of their way to help others.
America also has pockets of those who are insane, mentally unbalanced or just plain mean-spirited.
As long as we live in an imperfect world, we will have these pockets of individuals who will take down innocent lives to prove something or because something in their head said to do it.
All those injured or killed in this incident were innocent. They did not deserve to die or be injured on a beautiful Saturday morning at the local grocery store. They came to shop or they came to hear their Congresswoman in the local public square that she and her staff set up. America was at its best on Saturday morning as a beautiful Congresswoman waited to listen to her constituents while the cash register rang up groceries and other families shopped. This is America and the act of a crazy young man should not impact the greatness of the public square or the greatness of its message of freedom.
There are many out there who should be ashamed of themselves for politicizing this event. Because it was a public official's event, the media and many individuals and groups have run with misinformation and misguided conversations. Their conversations, emails and statements are almost as dangerous as the young man who pulled the trigger. The accusations are unfounded and hurtful to the truth.
The Sunday morning news shows were filled with conversations that did not focus on the insane gunman - but instead laid seeds of doubt about the tea party movement, radio show hosts and right leaning politicians. This is a tactic that changes the conversation and creates hype, ratings and anger.
Where have the world-class journalists gone? Where are those who would never report before they had the facts?
Why is that important? Because the truth will set us free. The media was in charge of finding the truth when government bureaucrats and politicians tried to hide it. The media was the watchdog for the down and out. The media was the ones who gave ALL Americans a voice...not just the ones they or their benefactors wanted them to speak or print.
It's one thing to have the media slant political discussions. It is another thing to plant seeds about groups or individuals for this heinous act without any basis of reality, research or journalist integrity.
As the week begins, many funerals will take place - including that of a 9 year old little girl. Those who were injured will be fighting for their lives. We will watch the reports and the networks and print media to see how they handle the news. We will no longer tolerate the twisted conversations. Those who died or are fighting for their lives deserve respect and dignity of reporting the truth and anything less would be SHAMEFUL.
God bless the families of these victims. Please continue to pray for them as they go about the hard task of burying their loved ones or sitting by their bedside praying for their recovery.
Please listen to the father of the precious little girl who died yesterday. What a marvelous man he is and my heart breaks for his loss.

The liberal media is foaming at the mouth to turn this into an anti-conservative, anti-tea party, Sarah
Palin circus. Even though there have many documented accounts of his abhorrent behavior and his
radical beliefs and actions, I have not heard one of the media correct their "opinions" (certainly not
accurate reporting) about their statements that the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, conservative talkers were stirring these mentally sick people to such actions. We do need to pray for all the victims and their families, but we also need to pray for our country that is in very deep trouble. And I DO agree,
why wasn't this man on the FBI radar when he had exhibited such behavior on campus?
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
