A few thoughts on the murders in Tucson

What happened in Tucson on Saturday was a senseless tragedy, cliched I know, but that doesnt make it any less true.  I wasnt paying much attention to what was happening, in fact I didnt turn the tv on until later saturday afternoon, as fate would have it the first thing I happened to see was Rachel maddow on MSNBC, suggesting that the shootings were carried out by some crazy consvative with tea party links.  Silly me I just assumed that she had facts to back up her assertions, as it turns out Jared Laughner has no conservative ties at all in fact if anything the opposite is true, he's been described as a left wing pot head, who by the way has what appears to be a satantic altar in his back yard.  In my not so humble opinion to use these shootings for any kind of polital gain is beyond despicable, and yet that appears to be the first thing that the liberal left tried to do, failing in their attempt to tie this maniac to any kind of conservative group now they will try to push gun controll and the fairness doctrine.  Political rhetoric is not to blame for what happened, the actions of a truly crazy person cant be explained or understood or anticipated.  We must not allow these events to used as an excuse to limit or impinge on our freedoms.
