There are 20 children who will not be home for Christmas this year. There are half a dozen adults that wont be either. There are an uncountable number of hearts that are forever broken and whose lives are forever changed. A great dark shadow has been cast upon both this Holiday and this nation. Now is not a time for ideological bile and putrid regurgitation of political agendas. The egocentrism of that comes with the modern idea of the Constitution and individual rights is choking our society and darkening our hearts. Our humanity, and our souls are being lost in the vicious divide of our differences.
It makes me sad, beyond words, that I see people (who I thought had a heart) who are already on the political bandwagon about this terrible, horrific tragedy today. There is no excuse, not a single one, for your behavior if you are engaging in political (partisan or not) agendas on the same day that parents are still trying to digest the loss of their children, or children their parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, teachers. I'm not saying you don't have a right to your opinion, but TODAY isn't the day for those opinions. Today is a day for mourning. It's a day for contemplation. It's a day for being thankful for those that we love and hold dear. It's a day for let our hearts be sympathetic, if even for a moment, for the unfathomable sorrow that crashing down around those parents heads like a tidal wave of grief, despair and hopelessness. It doesn't matter what the 'other' side is saying.... someone has to be humane. Someone has to say, "Not Today. Not Today. I will not give you relevancy or debate. NOT TODAY."
