If any good can come…

The recent shooting of several people in Tuscon, AZ including Congresswoman Giffords and a little 9 year old girl, should be a wake up call to all Americans about what really unites us.

We are Americans first, one Nation under God. We saw this in spades right after 9-11. American flags were everywhere. Churches were full. America learned the meaning of “one Nation, indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all.”

The immediate finger pointing that took place in the media and others is not constructive.
All should step back, humble themselves and pray for all of those hurt in this mess and for our Country.

Blaming the Second Amendment is perhaps more meaningless than the finger pointing. It shows a basic lack of respect to the victim, Congresswoman Giffords, who herself was a Second Amendment supporter.

The Tea Party, who are composed largely of God loving, prayerful, peace seeking folks who sacrifice time and talent to do what they believe will save this precious country, and all of her freedoms would obviously never condone such an action. This is common sense. For anyone to say otherwise is not only very sad, but divisive and unproductive.

The only one to blame here is the sickening accused murderer who “favorited” this video of burning the American flag. He deserves all the blame and punishment.

Instead of blaming one another, could we please unite as a Nation around the principle that this violence is never acceptable, regardless of party or political views? That will be the only victory in all of this, and is the best way to honor lives lost in this tragedy. Our flag is symbolic of victory through tragedy. Perhaps the busy bodies could put down their keyboards and mount a flagpole today, as a voice of unity against all kinds of assaults on our freedoms, and in one voice, as the United States of America.

EDITOR’S NOTE

EDITOR’S NOTE BY SITE ADMINISTRATOR: To the haters who have hurled your vitriol at Governor Sarah Palin today as your ilk habitually does when it sees anything it can distort and lie about, your comments will not be posted on this site, so you are wasting your time. You would be better informed to read the posts of our SPIB authors on this subject. It has been thoroughly documented that the shooter in Arizona is a liberal and most likely deranged.

Governor Palin has expressed her heartfelt condolences to the victims of today’s tragedy in Arizona.  Our SPIB authors join her in our heartfelt sympathy and prayers for those injured and killed and their families.  This is not a time to engage in political games.

To those who would use this tragedy in a politically motivated manner:  Your lies will backfire on you. The more you attack Governor Palin, the more motivated her supporters become. We at SPIB fully support Sarah Palin and trust her common sense conservatism. We can’t wait to call her Madame President on January 20, 2013! Run, Sarah, Run!!!

Arizona Mass Murderer Jared Loughner Is A Crazed Left Winger Who Reads Marx and Hitler’s Mein Kampf

By Gary P Jackson

It’s a sign of the times, and the political climate that I’m having to write this while Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords clings to life and others mourn the death of loved ones including Federal District Court Judge John Roll, and a nine year old girl. But here we are.

Within minutes of the shootings, the left wing bloggers and the so-called mainstream media immediately started blaming this tragedy on Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, and Conservative politics in general. Congresswoman Giffords, of course, is a democrat, so obviously some right winger did this.At least according to the disgusting people pointing fingers before fact one was in.

The fact is, the shooter, Jared Loughner, is crazy. Period.

Now the guy’s rants are absolutely in line with the leftist points of view, and among other things, he claims his favorite books are the Communist Manifesto, and Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf.

Jared Loughner is obviously a nut. He rants against our currency because it isn’t backed by gold. Claims to hate God, as well as people who use poor grammar.This is not someone who is of sound mind.

After looking at the information on Loughtner, his rants, his websites, and so on, I think the best way to describe him is as an anarchist, much like Joseph Stack, the 53 year old software engineer who flew his small plane into the IRS building in Austin, Texas last February. Stack was also an anarchist, and had rantings eerily similar to Loughner’s. .

Catie Parker, a friend of Loughner’s,  took to Twitter today calling him “very left wing.” He’s also being described as a “political radical” a “loner” and “obsessed with the 2012 prophecies.” You can see her Twitter feed here.

It was reported on Parker’s feed that Loughner had an altercation with Congresswoman Giffords in 2007.

Pamela Geller on her Atlas Shrugs website has done a marvelous job of rapidly collecting a great deal of information on Loughner. I highly recommend everyone check out what she has compiled here.

The Daily Caller is reporting that Loughner has had other run-ins with the law in Arizona.

Michelle Malkin has excellent coverage of this tragedy, the shooter, and the craziness from the left. Again, this is a must read, which you can do here.

A I pointed out at the start, it angers me that I’m having to write this while lives hang in the balance and we morn the dead. But the corrupt, dishonest media in this country, and the left wing bloggers like Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos, and Paul Krugman of the New York Times, and even some democrat politicians, started blaming Conservatives, tea partiers, and most especially Sarah Palin for this tragedy immediately, without one single fact known by anyone.

So, the record must be set straight.

This is standard operating procedure for the left in this country though. Ironically, when left winger Joseph Stack, who we mentioned earlier, flew his plane into the Austin IRS building, the usual suspects immediately   blamed it on some “crazy tea partier.” When it was learned he was a left wing nutter, like Loughner, they changed the subject. Never apologizing to the nation for their misinformation.

We will have plenty of time in the days ahead to go after the corrupt media and disgusting left wingers who were so quick to hurl lies and even threats at Conservatives in general, and Sarah Palin in particular, over this despicable act by a crazy man. Now though, I think there is a better use of our time and effort.

I’d like to ask all of our readers to pray for Congresswoman Giffords, Gabby’s, speedy recovery. The best news out of this entire situation is she survived and is expected to recover. Prayers should also be said for the family of Judge Roll, as well as the young girl who was killed, and everyone else dead or injured. That is a far better use of our time and effort.

May God bless them all.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ Shooter

By Adrienne Ross – http://www.motivationtruth.com

Police have Jared Loughner in custody for the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona. Several others have been wounded and killed. While police originally believed Loughner to have acted alone, they are now looking for another person whom they believe was involved, although they do not believe he pulled the trigger.

Thank God, the word we’re receiving is that while Rep. Giffords is in critical condition, she is responding, after being shot at point blank range in the head. Doctors are “optimistic” about her recovery. Unfortunately, among the dead are a nine year old girl and Judge John Roll, who simply stopped by to shake a few hands and say hello to Rep. Giffords.

According to information pouring in, Loughner is mentally “unstable,” has been in trouble with the law before, and was rejected by the U.S Army. Reports state that he was disgruntled with literacy in Arizona–blaming the government for trying to control grammar, has posted strange Youtube videos, and claims Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf as his favorite books.

It is unfortunate–to say the least–that people rushed to politicize such a tragedy. My heart goes out to those who are affected by this disgusting act today, and it turns my stomach when some have no concern for life but would rather use such events to advance their own blame game. As facts come in, police now know that this murderer targeted the Congresswoman specifically, and someone who knows him states that he was not connected to the Tea Party movement or Governor Palin, as some people–sickeningly–were all too ready to suggest. State Senator Linda Lopez should be ashamed of herself for taking to Fox News today to blame the tea party.

Information is being continually updated. In the meantime, please let’s continue to pray, everyone.

Our Prayers For Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords And All Victims Of The Arizona Shooting

By Gary P Jackson

As you know by now, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was among those attacked by a lone 22 year old crazy named Jared Loughner. Though the news is fluid at this time, we are pleased to hear, that despite being shot point blank in the head, the Congresswoman has undergone surgery and is responding. This is a true blessing.

Sadly, among the dead are Judge John Roll, the top federal judge in the district, and a nine year old child.

We are getting information fast and furious on the shooter, and will have more to say, but now is the time for prayers for all of the victims of this senseless violence.
