Before the details of the horrific shooting at an Oregon community college had even been released, celebrities took to Twitter to blame the NRA, capitalism, and gun owners for the carnage.

The "progressive" meme never includes an acknowledgement of that movement's decades-long coercive role in creating an environment for such violence (whether by gun or other means) now on display?

That so-called "liberal/progressive" movement intentionally diminished the role of parents and schools in teaching students about their Creator-endowed rights and responsibilities, their individual role as citizens in their communities, and the character training which once was the goal and aim of education in America

Do older readers of this thread remember when such character training was a part of the school day? Do any now retired teachers remember when the National Education Association provided booklets and other materials based on Biblical teachings and America's founding documents in order to teach children their rights and responsibilities as good citizens?

Perhaps an examination of this web site may refresh the minds of such teachers. Or, perhaps a reading of this factual account of NEA publications may enlighten others who are younger to understand the degree to which the "progressive" control of education in America may have contributed to our current dilemma.

Maybe the ‘self identify’ as celebrities. Just don’t make them ‘feel’ bad by telling the ugly truth.

I blame Andrew Cuomo and all the gun free zones for the shootings.

Unrestricted Capitalism”?????? WTF???

How about UNRESTRICTED movement of total WHACKADOODLES that are loose in the general population?

The house NEXT DOOR to mine was burned down on Aug 8, 2015 by the whackadoodle sister of the whackadoodle owner. Both nuts as an almond grove. Caused thousands of dollars of fire fighting equipment & efforts for over 4 hours, since it happened in a 40 + MPH wind. Neither of them should be out of a constant 24-7-365-100 year lockdown. I had to be evacuated due to the wind direction & the flying embers. I got 2 dogs, 2 horses, important papers, client data, etc out in 25 minutes. NEVER wish to do this again.

The ACLU pushed Reagan to close the mental hospitals 35 years ago.

This is the result.

Botgh the War on Poverty & the closing of the mental hospitals have been total disasters. Time to change both.

We used to see the Chicago weekend results here on FR every Monday morning.

After Ferguson shooting, NO MORE information. Shootings in Chicago are still happening, but Obama apparently has told media to NOT report.

‘Capitalism’?

94 Million people died under the scourge of #Socialism - how is that for organized #Evil?

Hmmmm. Read someplace that there are currently 94 million not participating in the job market(unemployed?). Is there some correlation with these numbers. Wonder how all the Jews that died in the (alleged) holocaust would feel? Cambodia? Armenians? Russian disidents. All denied firearm ownership by the govt. But, that could NEVER happen here. Right?

Considering how big a pansy Obama is I’m really surprised that he doesn’t have a battalion of troops protecting him.Something like Adolf Hitler.A guy who needed his own army.

Close enough. I knew it was a favorite movie of a couple of leftists at a church I once attended. I figured it’d be someone overtly Christian.
