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.
Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.

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