Since Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords attempted assassination and the killing of 6 innocent people last Saturday, January 8th, fingers on both sides of the aisles have been passing the blame. To me it’s so remarkable that so many people actually believe hate-speech has nothing to do with me. The 22 year old assassin wounded so many people and appeared to feel no remorse for his dastardly deeds. I’m glad he was caught. There were a couple of heroes, including senior men and women who took action in apprehending the villain. No I didn’t mention his name, he doesn’t deserve it. I’m pointing the finger at all of us. Our politicians knew this would happen when you have activists carrying guns to Presidential rallies, activists spitting on politicians and calling them names because of the way they voted. Were these same activists, radio and TV personalities so venomous with the prior administration? Come on people, we need to stop fooling ourselves. Why waste your time on who’s to blame. No one spoke out against these zealots during these extremely volatile and heated gatherings. We all know how easy it is to brainwash someone. Even rap music brainwashes our youth so what do you expect when the media does the same thing? Someone is weak enough that they will act and will believe that they will be considered a hero by some. What a shame that we are no better. Keep the victims and survivors in your prayers. Pray for this country and leadership and remember that God is always in control.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.

Should There Be A Debate On Who’s To Blame?
