Newtown: Just Leave Us to Grieve in Peace
American Thinker ^ | Sunday, December 16, 2012 | Clarice Feldman

[snip]

But that and everything else in my clipping file faded to insignificance when reports of the Newtown, Connecticut school massacre hit the wires.

There have been school shootings before but this one was particularly painful to learn about.

In the first place the children were so young and innocent -- kindergartners. In the second, it is the season when young children are especially full of happiness. Their homes are filled with Chanukah and Christmas decorations and gifts. Their houses smell of yummy things to eat. Families make a special effort to be together for the holidays.

[snip]

Now families will come home from the morgue to face their unimaginable losses surrounded by presents still unwrapped, joyful decorations now trimming houses robbed of all joy. Siblings and parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins and neighbors stricken with sadness.

[snip]

I mourn for the teachers and emergency workers who viewed the carnage and certainly will not forget it as long as they live.

No sooner did the news hit the wires than the political prattle about it began. Stop it.

For once, act like human beings. Can the gun talk; hold up on the sociological musings; button your lips on all the usual chatter when horrors occur. Maybe people spend too much time on TV programs where there's a wrapup after half an hour and expect real life to follow that schedule.

What a great quote:IMHO, that right there explains a lot of what's wrong with our country.

Way too much shallow thinking. In fact, I'm pretty convinced there are bunches of people who can only think in a shallow way. For them, deep logical though is an impossibility.

The “that” mentioned in the second word of the snipped article is an insightful look at energy and “global warming.” Go read the article. Worth it.

The communists have chosen Newtown as the tool they are going to use to take away the rights of law abiding Americans. I feel bad for them but that’s the way this country works these days. When Americans lose their Second Amendment rights, Newtown will go down in history as where it all began.

Something to think about:

But they won't because it makes too much sense.

I wish just one state had the cojones to do something like this.

“..Newtown will go down in history as where it all began...”

I agree with this statement. Note the name of the town, I am not a tin foil hat type, yet something sinister and evil is occurring in our country - I woke up for three nights in the night last week and felt a severe sense of foreboding; anxiety.

The name is symbolic: New Town, if this was planned for a wider agenda.

I am really not a paranoid person, but it fits and I don’t believe in pure coincidences in many circumstances.

When was the Principal killed? How did she give a quote to a newspaper?

I'm not a tinfoil hat type either but I'm really freaking out over this stuff. What has helped the 'RATS have their way with Americans more than anything else this year?

SANDY Fluke, SANDY the hurricane and now SANDY Hook. If I was a DemocRAT, I'd transpose the letters in SANDY into numbers and go buy a whole bunch of lottery tickets. SANDY is lucky to the DemocRATS. Don't know if it works for conservatives since it has brought nothing but bad luck to us.

That’s just weird - something seems very wrong to me. I printed the article before it gets scrubbed.

What are your thoughts?

Also what about the camouflage back up guy in the woods that we heard about who kept saying “It wasn’t me?” Are we still hearing about him at all? Who was he and has reference to him been scrubbed too?

“Sandy, etc.”

I had made the Sandy connection as well - hadn’t thought of Fluke though.

Someone is planting disinformation or outright lying. The rifle was in the trunk of the car and the principal was killed in the attack

Meanwhile, one of the Dads of the victims took the time on Saturday to make a Facebook tribute to his daughter - including a PLEA FOR MONEY.

Only GODless and Soulless Commies would be this cruel. So obviously using these people as political pawns to further a leftist agenda. Sadly instead of hurting Obama the media and public will lap it up....I expect an “Iconic” photo of Obama hugging one of the family members tear in his eye helping them heal(PUKE)!

There are thousands of Towns named New Town in the United States. It was a common designation c 1800.
