The Tragedy in Tucson had absolutely nothing to do with Politics

C'mon America, Let's get our act together!

The actions taken last Saturday in Tucson by a mentally deranged individual were not a Republican problem or a Democratic Problem. Nor were they a Tea Party Problem.

This was a Mental Health problem, That could have been prevented if certain individuals would have taken action at the proper time.

I thought that as a Country, we were better than this. Pointing fingers at each other and playing the blame game, like 5th graders at recess on the playground.

When I first blogged about the Tragedy in Tucson, I talked about an America that came together during times of crisis.

The people would drop their political labels and stand up together and band together and support each other.

I guess that the New york Times and several other media outlets forgot how to do that.

In a span of nine years this country has become so deranged in itself, that we have the Westwood Baptist Church wanting to protest the nine year old victim's funeral on Thursday, the innocent child that perished at the hands of a deranged gunman targeting Congresswoman Giffords. Thank Goodness Arizona acted swiftly to enact legislation banning the church from protesting within 100 yds. of the funeral.

I hope that we as a Country ,will step back and take a long hard look at ourselves, and correct our behavoir in times of National Tragedy.

This Country is on a slippery slope, and the tree we are going to hit at the bottom is a big one !

Yours in Liberty,

Bob Yeager
