Conservatism in Action

From the ABC News web site:

The gunman who yesterday shot up a Tennessee church that embraced gays and other liberal causes left behind a long letter fuming that he couldn't find a job and expressing a profound "hatred for the liberal movement," police said today. Jim D. Adkisson, 58, ranted that "liberals and gays" taking jobs had prevented him from finding work. He wrote that he expected to keep shooting parishioners until the police showed up and killed him, Knoxville, Tenn., Police Chief Sterling Owen told a news conference.....Owen said Adkisson was also angry that his food stamps were about to be reduced or eliminated.

And which political persuasion do you suppose got him those food stamps?

So horrible. That guy is just completely nuts. I bet his hates are probably so mixed up, intertwined, and confused that he could have walked in anywhere and found someone to start shooting at.

Oh, absolutely. Though you rarely hear of liberals going whacko .... I can see it now -- Witnesses said the man abruptly broke in and began demanding a higher minimum wage, clean food and air for all, and better schools, before he was wrestled to the ground by Rush Limbaugh.
