What do I blame for the shooting then. Well its not a what but a who. I blame the horrible evil man who picked up a gun well a couple of them, and preceded to try kill as many republican legislators as possible. The left tries to blame the right when these kinds of events happen and right now the right is blaming the left. STOP IT! Nothing good can happen with these kind of silly games.
The truth is I believe there is such a thing as personal accountability. When I was diagnosed with diabetes I didn't blame the makers of all of the doughnuts and ice cream I used to consume. I just blamed myself for my own choices. It does not matter how many commercials I watched that promoted these unhealthy lifestyles I chose what I should eat and how I lived my life so the consequences were on me, period. Likewise it does not matter how toxic people may have or may have not made the civil discourse in this society. It does not matter who toxic this society may have become, this course of action was chosen and executed by one man and one man only.
Sean Hannity and all of you other prominent conservatives that are blaming the liberals out there, stop it. You should be better than that. We believe in personal responsibility don't we? Then we should act like it. Don't get me wrong we need to clean up this toxic sludge that is poisoning the well of our public discourse, but it was not responsible for this ugly and evil attack. Blaming others for this evil attack will do nothing to clean up the discourse and make it less poisonous. Quite the opposite it will just ass fuel to the fire and make the atmosphere even more toxic.
Let's free ourselves from the blame game. It does no good and is not even fair or accurate. Let's treat others with the love and respect that all of God's children should receive. It is good to disagree with others and to stand up for what we believe but we can believe that others are wrong but not evil. It seems like to many people are forgetting that lately.
I send love to you all. May we all learn to love more thoroughly and deeply.
