Memorial or political rally?No shame
I'm angry right
now.
No, strike that. I'm pissed. There is absolutely NO REASON to turn a memorial into pep rally. Every single time I've commented on a mass killing, I've been flamed. So this time, I thought I would stay out of it. And then I see the President turn a tragedy into a bloody political event. Complete with slogan. T-shirts. Bumper stickers! This goes beyond double standards. So what good does it do to follow the rules of propriety if the "other guys" break every single one? How is this different from what Bush 43 did? Or for that matter, what that diseased Westboro Baptist Church keeps trying to do? They've got no shame. And they try to use YOUR SHAME as a weapon against you. Fuck them. They have not the right or the power. I'm not going to give it to them anymore. No matter what I say, they'll turn it political. They will demand that I give up my thoughts for the ones they dictate. They try to turn my acts of respect into silent acquiescement to THEIR agenda. Just like they do now. I'll say it loud and clear. Obama has no class. He turned something that should have healed into politics. T-shirts? By all the gods, the man's a coward and an opportunist. Death is too important for politics.
