I was not tempted at all to jump into posting as events in Tuscon, Arizona unfolded yesterday afternoon. It was time for quiet reflection to remember those killed and injured, as well as those who stepped up to help immediately after the shooting and the first responders.

During the past 36 hours or so, we’ve heard plenty of stories about the victims who were shot outside the Safeway store as they passed by or waited to meet with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.). It was horrific. Although I only watched about three minutes of news coverage yesterday, I occasionally monitored the unfolding story via Twitter and the newsreader on my iPhone.

In general, I was speechless. Of course, like everyone else I had all of the normal who, what, where, when and why questions running through my head. My thoughts at the time really didn’t matter … the people matter.

Well said. It would have been right and proper if we all could have done this from the beginning - to mourn and to pray for the dead.

But the Left started to shriek their hateful gibberish, and so we were forced to witness to the truth: that Jared was a far-left pot-addict transgender-wannabe who was filled with hatred by his ideology.

Now that the MSM have finally started to shut the F up, we can indeed pause to sorrow.
