DID JIM ADKINSON READ YOUR BLOG?

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FORWARD TO ALL EXTREMIST BLOGGERS

Yesterday morning, Jim D. Adkisson walked into a Tennessee church with a 12 gauge, semi-automatic, shotgun and 76 rounds of ammunition. He began to shout “hateful things” according to witnesses and then proceeded to open fire on the congregation that was gathered to watch a children’s play. Two were killed, seven were wounded, five of whom were critically injured. All were traumatized, especially the children on stage.




According to a letter found in the killer’s car, the reason was his hatred of the liberal agenda of the church.

Below I have listed one quote from the letter. Can you guess which one it is?




1. Liberalism IS a confirmed Mental Disorder.




2. Yes, and when free thinking American Patriots take back this country, one of the first orders of business will be to deal with all of you idiotic, liberal, bleeding heart, anti American traitors appropriately




3. We have a traitor among us. GET A ROPE




4. The revolution I spoke of will not be North against South, but will be free thinking American Patriots against anti American traitors such as you, aks/ablaze, and the rest of the bleeding heart, liberal idiots




5. you anti American, liberal traitors still refuse to face the facts, and continue to live in a state of brainwashed, blind denial..




6. Muslims are a cancer on this planet, and guess what? I'm not joking 1 bit.. I say drop a nuke on the mid-east and then stuff pork up their *ss's!




7. I think pink is great color for liberals, that and yellow




8. Liberals are a cancer on the world.

9. Why is it that spoiled kids of prominent people always become liberal and bitter, but have never made much of a difference in anything??




10. [I have a] stated hatred of the liberal movement




11. As a veteran I say to you be thankful for the anonymity the internet gives you, there are probably more than a few ex-military on this site that would get gratification from a face-to-face with you, but you are not worth going to jail for. You are despicable and disgusting. Go see your proctologist, you may be developing brain damage. Now FOAD!




12. Why don't we test out your real courage and pick a nice quiet dark spot to meet so i can bust your jaw. No more words, Just you, me, and blood. You talk awfully tough on the internet now let's test out what your REALLY made of.




The statement written by the gunman was number 10. (One of the mildest statements from the list) Your next question should be: where did you get the rest of these quotes? The answer is simple.

Every quote (other than #10) listed, came from a MYFox Local website from across the country.



We must always remember that we as a nation are more than conservative & liberal. WE ARE AMERICANS. We can disagree on the direction of our country, but we must learn to control our love of hateful rhetoric. God alone knows how many blogs Adkisson read before he decided on his own twisted and warped answer to the problems of our country.




Maybe Jim Adkinson read YOUR blog!!!




(And this should not just be a warning to conservative bloggers. There are a great many liberals on Daily Kos and other left-leaning sites that can be just as bad.)

GOD SPEED GREG MCKENDRY

It's happened again. Another place of safety and refuge has been invaded by the violence of a world slightly off-kilter. This morning during a performance of "ANNIE" at a Unitarian Church, a lone gunman walked in and began to fire. And as seems to always happen during these moments of insanity....one person reminds us that we can be a little better than we thought.

In coming days we will debate the reasons for the killer's actions. We will be told reasons they think he did what he did. And the reasons will fill us with dispair, for no matter what the reason we know that it was not good enough to destroy the lives of so many people.

So now, before we know why the killer acted as he did, let us remember the spirit of a good man...Greg McKendry. A 60 year old usher who was married to a woman who loved him. A foster parent and a man who helped others. He was a big man physically and cared deeply for his church and it's people. A soul who obviously believed that caring for others was worth his life. A REAL CHRISTIAN WHO SHOWED HIS LOVE THROUGH HIS LIFE.

You see, when a gunman walked into that church in Knoxville, Tennessee today, Greg McKendry stepped in front of the first shotgun blast and protected everyone behind that giant-sized body given him by his god. And God only knows how many lives he saved with that simple action. His death granted time to others to run to safety.

Tomorrow we will talk about the why and probably forget that the most memorable act was not the act of pulling the trigger...but that in the coldness of that moment, ONE MAN STOOD UP. So tonight before the media circus begins, let us simply say, "God Speed Greg McKendry. "
