Liberal Media Uses Tragedy to Vilify Those Critical of the Current Administration

Although I am a Libertarian leaning Independent voter, I often visit news outlets such as CNN and MSNBC to sort of gauge and consider opposing viewpoints. I make it a point to read the comments section especially. I am horrified by what I am seeing concerning the tragedy that transpired at LAX.

The headline reads "Sources: Alleged Shooter Hated Government, New World Order", and goes on to make a case that is obviously meant to insinuate that those of us who are opposed to the 4th Amendment violating TSA, support the 2nd Amendment, and exercise our 1st Amendment rights to openly express our disagreement with current governmental policies are somehow cut from the same cloth as this obviously mentally ill man who opened fire in a crowded airport full of innocent civilians. There is no excuse for that behavior, and I can't see how any person of any political persuasion would condone his actions.

All that is not the worst part. It's clear the spin is working it's intended purpose.The commentary section is full of propagandist hate posts openly threatening to suppress the 1st and 2nd Amendment rights of "domestic terrorists" such as Christians, Tea Party Members, Republicans, and other Conservatives.While it does appear many of the most vicious posts come from what appears to be a troll, the fact that others are agreeing with and voting up this rhetoric is nauseating. I don't have a problem with disagreement, but I do have a problem with veiled threats of violence.

At this point, I am not sure how this country can be reconciled. We have, on one hand, roughly half the population willing to forego the Bill of Rights entirely to "keep them safe" and to further expand the Welfare State. On the other hand, we've got the other half who are extremely displeased with the government imposing upon their Constitutional rights, and confiscating of their wealth to help facilitate the push towards socialist policies. That is just scratching the surface without even considering social issues like gay marriage and abortion.

As for myself, I will never understand pushing one's own belief system upon another, or expecting another to provide for their every need. All I really want it to simply live freely as was intended by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights without government intrusion.
