Tragedy in Arizona

Listen up America. The shooting of a US Congresswoman, the death of a sitting Federal Judge and the murder of innocent people and children is not the way we operate in these United States.
WE, go to the ballot box on election day and voice our opinion and selection for a candidate that represents our point of view and what we feel is in the best interest of this great country of ours called America.

America lost her virginity in the Revolutionary war. Since that time these aberrations that occur in our History are learning lessons not for what we should or not do but for what it teaches us about our country and what is going on today. There will always be those sick and twisted folk that one way or another end up going off the reservation and commit violent and tragic acts of insanity that cause us all to look at America and say, is this really what we are.

No this is not really what we are. We are a kind and benevolent nation that helps those in need, a nation that is there for the rest of the world when tragedy strikes. Our history proves our past. Sure we have made mistakes but don't let the missteps obscure the never ending march towards freedom and the greater good.

So don't listen to the pundits and talking heads as they come up with all kinds of excuses, and rationals for what happened in Arizona. No, listen to your heart and brain. Say a prayer for those that are gone and those still injured in the hospital. Say a prayer for the loved ones that have lost a friend or family member in this most tragic of occurrences in our lives today.

In the same sense don't forget that around us tragedy strikes all the time. Whether it be on the highway, in our homes or in the back alleys where people die every day from man made causes. Don't let one mans wild and erratic decision to kill affect your life in such a way as to taint your ability to keep going forward with the mission of making this country the greatest and most kind nation in the world. Stay involved, make a difference. don't give up the fight, and say a prayer for America.
