Politicization of a tragedy: The murder of George Tiller UPDATE! Why no mention of a fallen soldier and shooting by Islamic extremist?

They are always there. The ones who will use tragedy for their advantage, the let’s not waste a crisis crowd. It really doesn’t matter what the crisis is or tragedy and how many people are hurt – if exploitation helps the cause, then the ends justify the means.

The murder of George Tiller is certainly a tragedy. But instead of exhibiting compassion by urging calm, respect and prayer for the Tiller family, church attendees, and even for the suspected killer’s family: the left has started an assault against those they hate the most – conservative pro-life Christians.

Of course conservative pro-life Christians and groups would never support or encourage such an act – they decry such things as they have with this tragedy. But it will not matter. Their attack has started and will intensify this week.

I am a conservative pro-life Christian (and on top of it a Catholic), and even though I would never condone such an act, the left just like Janet Napolitano and Homeland Security will try to paint me and others like me as an enemy of the State.

I can’t control the actions of a man intent to destroy another human being. But I can control my actions. And I will respond with truth and love to those who will not do the same for me. I will pray for the Tiller family, their church and the suspected killer’s family. And I will lawfully stand for the right to life of any human being, whether born or unborn.

UPDATE! 6/2

Why no mention by Obama of fallen soldier Pvt. William Long? What about the capture of an Islamic terrorist on American soil?

UPDATE! 6/1

The fanatical left is as fanatical and frenzied as ever. O’Reilly has to defend himself against accusations that the death of Tiller is his fault.

UPDATE! 6/1

There has been a shooting at a military recruiting center. With one dead and one wounded, we now have two tragic days in a row. Please pray for the wounded soldier and the families involved.

Michelle Malkin covers the untold story by the MSM and the Left’s war on recruitment centers.

May I ask a question? What if this tragedy was politicized against the Left, declaring them as “enemies against the State?”

  1. I was hoping you would write about this. I did, as well, but you always do it so much better. As always, this was well-written and thoughtful.
