A Note about Gabby Giffords | National Review Online
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/345985/note-about-gabby-giffords ...." While Ms. Giffords certainly has my sympathy for the violence she suffered, it should be noted that
being shot in the head by a lunatic does not give one any special grace to pronounce upon public-
policy questions"....
RRD: To this I would add that being shot is not a virtue,nor does it make you into a better person. Giffords was a corrupt & dishonest politician who lied about being "undecided" on Obamacare & who was quite fond of AK-47s when she was trying to trick the voters of Arizona into thinking that she was pro-gun. Now that it is fashionable to attack the rights of innocent people Giffords has tried to explain away images such as that in the attached photo. At this point some may say "Robert! How can you say that Giffords is corrupt! She was shot!"
Oh yes,Giffords was shot,as was George Wallace,as were any number of other people none of whom deserved to have been shot & all of whom were corrupt. There is no contradiction here. Corrupt and immoral people get shot. They should not be shot & they are still immoral irregardless. The definition of the word "virtuous" is not "one who was shot" .
Or does Gifford's suffering entitle her to compassion & kindly treatment while she spits on me & seeks to destroy yet more of my rights? Suffering is not a virtue or a value ,or a shield that permits you to attack the innocent with impunity while you show us your sores. To sacrifice truth,justice, & the rights of the innocent to a statist because she has suffered is cruelty to the innocent. Giffords etal have absolutely no concern for the people who will be destroyed by Obamacare ,nor have they any concern for the innocent whom they seek to persecute through their attacks on individual rights. Giffords is not denouncing Obama or Holder for Fast and Furious but both she & the man whose administration is responsible for Fast and Furious expect us to play along with their Weeping Crocodile routine.
Do not confuse sentimentality for rational compassion or justice.
