Obama's Outrage

Within the past week, there has been a disturbing trend of murders. On Sunday, an abortionist was shot and killed as he was attending his church. On Monday, an Army recruiting soldier was killed as he was standing outside his place of employment. Both of the murders are HEINOUS acts of violence and should be condemned by every American. However, I know several people that had no idea about the soldier’s murder. How can that be? Let’s compare the two…

Dr. Tiller was a late term abortionist (possibly the only one in the country, more info on that below) that was murdered by an extremist nutjob because of his occupational choice. His murderer, Scott P. Roeder, was an abortion opponent and targeted Dr. Miller because of his opposition to abortion, his political and religious views.

Private William Long was a soldier that was murdered by an extremist nutjob because of his occupational choice. His murderer, Abdulhakim Muhammad, a military opponent, admitted shooting the soldiers saying it was a “political and religious attack”.

Also this past weekend, Chicago had one of the worst killing sprees in recent history. Between 6:00 a.m. Saturday and 6:00 a.m. Sunday, 7 people were gunned down in non-related attacks. (these weren’t the acts of a lone gunman, these were 7 different attacks).

Over the weekend, I’m sure there were many more murders that we didn’t hear about.

Within 7 hours of learning of the murder of Dr, Tillman, Obama released a statement expressing his “shock and outrage” at Dr. Tiller’s murder. Attorney General Eric Holder released his own statement saying “his family is in our thoughts and prayers at this tragic moment”.

But there was no outrage, not even a statement of sympathy for the soldier or his family, from the Obama camp. Why is one murder and outrage and another not? Why is the murder of a murderer (and yes, in almost every state, he would be considered a murderer because he kills babies well into the ninth month of pregnancy) to be commented on, while a volunteer fighting for our freedoms, not even acknowledged? Why were the 7 murders in Chicago not a tragedy? Is he THAT abortion happy, that he is outraged that the last of the late term abortionists needs to be addressed? What a sad day for our country.

I subscribe to many liberal updates and frequently visit many left-leaning websites. Each of them has many opinion contributions on the murder of Dr. Tiller. So do the conservative websites. Both sides are condemning this. The right has come out as much as the left with their outrage. I do find it interesting though, that the left sites have nary a word on the soldier murder.

Slate.com has article after article about Dr, Tiller’s murder, but not ONE on Private Long’s murder. They even have on their front page today an article called “The Abortions Only George Tiller Did”. They had testimonials from patients who had late term abortions. One was quoted saying “we could consider two late-term abortion clinics—one in Wichita, Kan., the other in Holland! Our initial thoughts were ‘how could we be in a major NYC hospital in the United States and be told these are our only choices?’ To say it was surreal is an understatement.”. I can only PRAY that this was the only late term abortionist in the country. Hopefully, no one else will be evil enough to follow in his footsteps.

Obama is on tour now and will probably never make a statement about the soldier. His death will soon be forgotten. I have no doubt though, that Dr. Tiller’s legacy will live on. Some liberals are even hailing him as a hero and a martyr. How sad is this world when a murderer is praised and a soldier is forgotten.
