The tragic murder of a guard at the Holocaust Museum today has motivated certain members of the media to blame "anti-tax secessionists" and others of us who voice serious concerns about the state of America (i.e., those of us who dare to engage in discourse outside the shallow and narrow box that the media would like to confine us to).
I'll tell you what - without knowing anything about the lunatic who committed this murder, I will stipulate for purposes of argument that he was an "anti-tax secessionist" whose general displeasure with our societal ills motivated him to act as he did. Even with that extreme concession, this man's despicable crime pales in comparison to the death, destruction, and impoverishment that unlawful government inflicts around the globe and here at home every single day. A deranged lunatic cannot send thousands of young adults abroad to kill and be killed in an undeclared war. A deranged lunatic cannot steal trillions of dollars from honest, hardworking citizens in order to shower it on his friends or to promote any number of pet projects alien to the Constitution. A deranged lunatic cannot crush prosperity with innumerable and indecipherable regulations authored by unelected troglodytes. And a deranged lunatic cannot destroy our dreams of inheriting what was once the greatest country in the history of Earth.
If the media mollusks want to blame me for the murder of a guard, then I blame them for the murder of the American dream. And at least I never advocate or encourage murder -- the media, however, cannot say the same about themselves.

UPDATE:
As if the media's pathetic attempts to link a murderer with all political dissent weren't enough, MSNBC now has smeared "loners" as well:
He was smart enough to join Mensa, but even admirers considered him a loner . . . .
Wow, no built-in prejudice here. I guess we're supposed to conclude that being a "loner" is a severe defect that automatically degrades one's standing even in the eyes of admirers (and even though America was built by the heroic efforts of loners who ventured into the untamed wild). For a good read on how rampant and inaccurate anti-loner prejudice is, read this excellent book by Anneli Rufus.
