Three Horrors in One Week

The Boston Marathon bombing, ricin mailed to the president and several US Senators, and an explosion in a fertilizer plant in West, Texas near Waco that thus far has killed 15 people and injured about 160 others, has made for a horrible week in the USA. It has the feeling of the weeks following 9-11 in New York City. 

The crowd belted out a hearty singing of our National Anthem to start the Boston Bruins game, and this morning I tweeted: "I'm a New Yorker, this is not about baseball; we love you Boston." I believe I speak for the entire country in that tweet. 

This is not about politics, although some have tried to make it so; Barney Frank and Chris Matthews immediately come to mind. It is disgusting that they would do so, and I hope the liberals who listen to Matthews realize that his agenda does A  not trump events and maybe they will stop taking him seriously. Frank talked about how lowering the tax rate would not have helped these victims or prevented it from happening. The insensitive Frank forgot to mention that raising taxes would have done nothing to have prevented it either. 

David Sirota, a "journalist" for Salon.com, said he hoped the Boston bombing was committed by a white American--this would support his liberal agenda and take the onus away from Islamic terrorists. The sensitivity of this cretin and the others aforementioned is non-existent; they left their humanity at their mothers' breast. 

President Obama is at the memorial service in Boston this morning and the church bells are chiming "America the Beautiful." Let's hope that our memories aren't short about this. Let's hope we continue to sing our National Anthem with the same gusto they sang it in Boston. And let us find the terrorist killer or killers and bring them to the same justice they deserve and serve as a message to others about what their fates will be if they mess with US.
