Mike Huckabee says removing God from schools is to blame for shooting
Source: http://now.msn.com/huckabee-blames-school-shooting
As the nation mourns and asks how could something like the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting happen, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has an idea: It's because God is absent from our schools. While speaking with Fox New's Neil Cavuto, Huckabee answered the question, "How could God let this happen?" by saying, "We've systematically removed God from our schools. Should we be so surprised that schools have become a place for carnage because we've made it a place where we don't want to talk about eternity, life, responsibility, accountability?" Huckabee's words quickly made him a trending topic on Twitter, with some users applauding his comments, while others said his statement lacked empathy. Read more: MSN 
Every bit as despicable as Robertson and Falwell's comments post-9/11. Expect FOX to make this supposed "Christian" apologize a week from never. Meanwhile, the gun lobby accuses everyone else of "politicizing" the shooting.

The St. Pius X High School shooting was a school shooting that occurred on October 27, 1975 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The gunman, Robert Poulin, an 18-year-old St. Pius student, opened fire on his classmates with a shotgun, killing one and wounding five before killing himself. Poulin had raped and stabbed 17-year old Kim Rabot to death prior to the incident. A book entitled Rape of a Normal Mind was written about the incident.
Care to withdraw your accusations now or would you rather opt for a "quiet" 24 hour period (per NRA requirements) first?  |

I am not shocked by any of this. I am not surprised that so many were killed today. It is becoming the norm.
I am a gun-owner. I was taught by both my father and grandfather as a boy how to use and care for a gun. I hunted with them as I grew up. When I hear grown men express their rage and helplessness by blaming others for not believing in their god, all I can feel is deeply saddened. The rage and helplessness that welled up in me today brought me to tears. I allowed myself to cry. I called my sister and spoke to my nephew who is the age of some of these children. I left the NRA a few months ago but had remained on a few email lists. Today, I removed myself from those. What a horribly tragic day.  |

Last edited Fri Dec 14, 2012, 11:48 PM - Edit history (1) As if any God worth his weight in spit would take some sort of jealous revenge on a room full of innocent children. How twisted and bizarro. I can't believe he was anywhere close to the presidency of the United States. It just shows how far off their rockers the right has gone.
And aside from the obvious....WTF.....can't these right-wing evangelicals instill their Christian values in their kids without depending on the government to do it for them in our public schools? Do their kids not know how to pray silently? Does their God abandon them if someone doesn't lead them out loud in prayer every few hours?  |
