I haven’ commented about the shooting in Charleston, South Carolina until today.  First, let me say that prayers are with the families of those killed.  The act demonstrates the insanity of what some people believe to be reality.  Senseless is the only word I can think of.

Naturally there are the usual knee jerk reactions to such events.  Ban guns and take down the Confederate flag.  Personally, I don’t care if they take down the flag, except this seems to be punishing the people that had nothing to do with the shooting.  The best suggestion I’ve heard so far is to put the flag in a museum. 

If flags are offensive, there are some that offend me, and they need to go somewhere too. So far as more gun control goes, the same old arguments on both sides will continue for a few weeks, then die down.

The part that gets on my nerves is all the political maneuvering.  I suppose I should be used to it by now, but I’m not.  Who was it that put that flag up?  Who was it that passed “Jim Crow” laws?  And, who enacted gun control to prevent blacks from being armed?  Finally, who wore the hoods in the KKK?  The answer to these questions is the same.  Democrats.

Now, who points fingers and tries to blame anybody and everybody while doing anything and everything to keep a race of people enslaved by dependence upon government?

Same answer.
