 The State of the Union speech actually wasn't bad. President Obama said a few things with which I agree, and he didn't say anything that made me want to throw something at my television. I do think however that many things he did say, can't go without at least being challenged. It was a long speech, so here is my attempt to address some of the more glaring, shall we say "misrepresentations".

"What If" Thought Experiment |

 Since Progressives want to play a game of "what if" regarding the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords, lets do a quick thought experiment to test their accusations. Many on the Left have drawn a link between rhetorical discord and political violence. Additionally, they insist that inflammatory images (targets, crosshairs, etc.) incite specific, directed violence toward members of our Government. The pretense here is that if we could all just circle around the chambers of Congress and sing Kumbaya, overt acts toward politicians would not occur. OK, so think about this: What if the Clinton administration and then Attorney General Janet Reno had not issued a policy preventing federal agencies from reporting known drug abusers to the NICS database. Might the accused gunman's attempted purchase of a shotgun and Glock-19 have raised a least a small red flag for authorities? Might the purchases have even occurred at all?

Misdirection In The Face Of Crisis |

 It's been a week since the senseless and tragic shooting of 20 people including Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. The last seven days have been an incredible exhibition of the art of crisis manipulation to obtain maximum misdirection for political gain. In the media, the shooter has become almost irrelevant, his violent action an afterthought. However, what has been emphasized by both sides of the political spectrum, are the outside influences that must have made him do it. Again, we as a society are absolving this murderer of his personal responsibility for pulling the trigger, and placing blame at the feet of others who in this case simply dare to speak their mind.

Today we are saddened by news of another senseless act of violence in America. This time it is an attack against a Congresswoman, and civilians at an Arizona shopping center. A clearly deranged man shot and killed six, and wounded perhaps nineteen more including the Representative. This post won't be long, because the situation is tragic, and I don't really want to pander to it. However I am compelled to make a few observations.
