Political Vultures

The political and media vultures are already circling. Descending to feed on the raw emotion of tragedy. True to their parasitic nature, they try to exploit the suffering to further their political aims. They do not care about the victims, but try to cast the criminal as a victim. The vultures try to direct the hurt, the pain, the suffering to satiate their lust for power. The American people must come together in support of the victims and their families and we must ensure that our liberties are not to fall victim as well. These young people were learning to be productive members of society with their lives ahead of them, full of hope. Then an evil person decided to end that dream for so many people. Our founding fathers dreamed of a country of opportunity and liberty. They believed in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They understood it would entail work, struggle, and failure, but they fought on and created the greatest nation on earth. Let us not allow parasites to undo what our founders fought to create and what these students and teachers died to help to perpetuate. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are not what you have when government dictates what 'freedoms' you may keep.
