5 Theories For Mass Shootings Other Than Guns

Lots of mass shootings lately. The left blames republicans as usual. Clinton blamed Rush Limbaugh for what the Unibomber did. Trump gets the blame for the current shootings. The left things taking away guns from law abiding citizens is the solution. Until we start looking at the root cause of the problem here, we will never get to the bottom of it.

So, what is really going on? Does anyone ever do any real investigating. What do these thugs have in common? Again, it's not politics. They come from all political ideologies. It's not Trump. These shootings occurred with Clinton, W, and Obama in the White House too. It's not guns. People have had guns for thousands of years. So, what really is going on here. Some theories are listed here.

Loss of sanctity of life.

There are a lot of changes going on in our country lately. There are liberals calling for abortions even after a baby is born. Abortions are now the leading cause of death in the United States. So, there are some who think this is the cause. There is a loss of value for the sanctity of life.

Attacks on Christianity.

The Church used to teach values. It taught principles. These were never changing. So, people grew up with a conscience. This conscience prevented people from causing harm to others. They were taught to respect others. "Do on to others as you'd have them do unto you." So, in times of trouble, people used to turn to the Church. They did this when they were looking for meaning and purpose in life. Today, the Church is attacked all the time by the media and the left. There's not one iota of religion left in public schools, of which most kids attend.

Redefinition of family.

Thousands of years ago people realized the value of the family. The nuclear family was learned to be the best way of raising kids. Kids learned values from their parents. They learned about how their country came to be. They learned patriotism. And this was passed on from generation to generation. Now, the nuclear family is being blown up to smithereens. You have something like 90% of black kids being born to unwed mothers. Many seldom see their dads. And you have people on the left saying kids don't need moms or don't need dads. I believe there's some truth to the notion that boys learn best from men, and girls learn best from girls. And boys also learn from moms. Boys are especially affected by the breakdown of the family. In 1960, only 22% of black children were born to single parents. Today it's 70%. This rise occurred almost completely parallel with the rise of the welfare state. A high percentage of these kids grow up to live in poverty. They are often lead to a life of crime. The government has now become the father. On the contrary, 8% of black married couples live in poverty. So, you can't tell me this doesn't have something to do with it. My kids often watch the Disney channel. Rare is it that you have a TV show with a traditional family. Most families are divided families. And the moms are generally very ineffective parents.

Fakebook and Social Media

A big part of the problem is a yearning for attention. People want to be famous. They want what every one else says they have but probably don't. I'm talking about Facebook. People lie on Facebook. That's why I call it Fakebook. They take pictures of themselves on vacations. They talk about how awesome their lives are. When in reality their lives are as miserable as any one else's. And so you have kids that are impacted by this. They yearn to have what everyone else says they have but they don't. They can't seem to get the attention that they want. And so they resort to violence. Look at how much attention these killers get. They get their manifesto's published in the New York Times. They get all the front pages. They become famous. They finally get the attention they yearn for.

We are depressing our kids

By we I mean liberals. Kids are taught the world is going to end in 10 years, and it's all our fault. We are told we are all going to die. And we are told the world is over populated. And you wonder why study's show kids are depressed. As noted above, Fakebook is depressing. You see that everyone else has what you don't and what you can't afford. You get depressed by hanging around social media. So, this may very well contribute the the mass shootings.

What to make of this? 

These are just some theories. They may be contributing factors to mass shootings. There's really no way to know for sure without actually looking at the problem, and investigating it. And that won't happen as long as we toss blame at others besides those thugs who pull the trigger.

My point here is that it's a cultural problem. No law will stop these shootings. It may make people feel like they are doing something. It may give lawmakers an opportunity to show they care. But, no law will solve any of these problems. The solution will only come by investigating.

We are not the cause of terrorism

There is a headline in Politico: "Why do they hate us?" It is in reference to the terrorists attacks by ISIS in Brussels. The media cannot understand why terrorists would attack Brussels. They are flabbergasted why this would happen. 

Brussels is the headquarters of European Democratic Socialism.  It is where peace talks occur. It is where all the elites who decide how all the people in Europe are going to live organize. It is where the European utopia is designed. And they truly believed they had created a utopia in Europe, and then this happens. How could it happen, they wonder? What did we do? 

They are just so sadly blind, and they will never solve this problem until they open them. ISIS is mad. They are terrorist thugs who have no respect for life. Their God teaches them to conform people to their religion, and all who refuse to conform must be killed. They pretend to be a religion of peace, but they are a religion whose God teaches to kill and maim non-Muslims.

They terrorized France. We finally caught the ringleader. And this angered them and they attacked Brussels. And liberals around the world are shocked that Brussels, the birthplace of European Utopia was born and honed, was attacked. They are shocked by this. They just cannot fathom why anyone would do this. So they ask the question, "Why do they hate us so much?"

They blame themselves. They blame America. That's who they are blaming here. Phooey on blaming the people who did the attack; it must have been something we did that ticked them off, prompted them to attack us. So what is it? What did we do? 

They are so ignorant. I am sorry to say it, but they just don't get it. You have these radical religious groups that have been around for years, centuries even, and they still don't get it. They still do not want to believe there are people who do not want any form of peace that does not involve the Muslim Caliphate. They cannot believe this. They are in complete denial. 

Look, the West is not the cause of terrorist. Europe is not the cause of terrorism. America is not the cause of terrorism. But if European and American politicians continue to keep an open border policy that continues to deny radical Muslim terrorism, it will continue to thrive. The only way to end it is to keep them contained, and to kill them -- the radicals I mean. 

But they won't do this. They won't because they naively think there is something they did, we did, to tick them off. They naively think that they can ignore them and they will go away. The naively think they can negotiate (see Iran deal) their way to peace. 

We will not call them out. We will not call them radical Islamic terrorists. Our president will not call them terrorists. To him they are just random acts of terror. We are doing everything to show them that we do not blame them, and so they just keep doing it. And then our elites ask, "What did we do wrong?"

Our liberal leaders don't call them out. They call terrorism work place violence. They call it random acts of terror. They do not criticize the terrorists. They just ignore the terrorists. Obama ignores the terrorists. While in Cuba, at a baseball game, he talked for 52 seconds about the terrorist act in Brussels.

Here is what Obama said:
The thoughts and prayers of the American people are with the people of Belgium, and we stand in solidarity with them in condemning these outrageous attacks against innocent people. We will do whatever is necessary to support our friend and ally, Belgium, in bringing to justice those who are responsible.
What will we do? What did we do when there was a terrorist attack on France? What did we do when there was a terrorist attack in San Francisco? Nothing! We didn't do anything. So why are to believe we are going to do something this time around?

All we do is ignore terrorism. I think this is the Obama strategy.  It think this is the socialist/ progressive way to utopia; to world peace. They think that if we ignore our enemies, this sends a signal that we mean peace; that they don't need to attack us. Then they will be peaceful.

Then they attack us again anyway. And we continue to ignore them.

Then they open up borders, let anyone in who wants. They let Muslims in, even if they might be terrorist thugs. We let them in because, to liberals, this is a sign of peace. Ignoring the problem, to liberals, shows peaceful intentions. Then they blow us up anyway.

We keep ignoring them, they keep attacking us. This is so stupid!!!

Then Trump comes along, says we can't keep doing this. We need to close our borders. We need to resolve this problem. And he's called dangerous.

Keep this up, and they will just continue on their unhappy way.

Obama continued:
And this is yet another reminder that the world must unite. We must be together regardless of nationality or race or faith in fighting against the scourge of terrorism.
How do you unite with terrorists? How do you unite with people who want to kill us? The problem is that we are united in our approach to terrorism, and it's being united behind an ideal approach that is supposed to create world peace and utopia. It's being united behind a naive view that ignoring and appeasing our enemies will somehow make them like us and not want to kill us.

They think that by Obama showing sympathy that that will solve terrorism. They think that by putting colors over your Facebook picture, that that shows sympathy; that that shows you care; that that shows we are united; that we are opposed to racism. They think opening our borders and letting anyone in who wants to come in shows we are not bigots, that we are not racist. Then among them come the radical Islamist terrorist, and they blow us up from the inside and from the outside. That's how they respond to our calls for national unity.

So, we are not the cause of terrorism. The Western way of living was not to blame for what happened in Brussels. What happened in Brussels happened because of the open border policy in Europe. Brussels happened because Europe stopped controlling its borders and did not require people coming into Europe to assimilate. This resulted in Europe giving up its sovereignty. It gave up its cultural identity, and now it can't do anything to control its borders because those who invaded the nation now control it.

And if we don't close our borders, the same will happen in the U.S.  And you have a guy named Trump who is the only one willing to openly criticize the current system, and he's called dangerous. Maybe the people who are dangerous are the people who want to keep our borders open. 

Note to elites: Radical Ismamic Groups do not want peace: they want to kill all of us unless we conform to their religion. They want a Muslim Caliphate. Period. If you don't realize that soon, they are going to annihilate us all. Then we will all be unhappy. Then we will have our liberties denied. We will not be free. We will all be miserable. You can't help thinking that's what these liberal elites want. So long as they get to keep their cushy jobs. I don't know. This is just sickening.

This cartoon pretty much says all that needs to be said about the progressive view on terrorism.
Perfect!  What more needs to be said.

Obama's perfect war

Dozens of enclaves of Islamic radical jihadists were bombed into rubble by U.S. warplanes that roared over the Syrian border on Tuesday.  The person ordering the assault was President Obama, who is perhaps the most anti-war president we have ever had.  

Despite the attacks, however, the media has been relatively silent; so far there have been no body counts; no civilian casualty lists. 

So far the anti-war protesters are spending their time as global warming, animal rights, and feminist protesters.  One might wonder if the anti-war cause is burned out and needs more time to regenerate, especially after eight years of George W. Bush.  

Now that Obama is the one in charge of the war effort, it seems possible that his war to end all wars might just be the most perfect war ever.  Every war ever fought in the history of the world has required ground forces to take stuff away from the enemy in order to secure the land, but Obama insists they won't be needed to win this war. 

Obama is the first military leader ever to have figured a way to win a war without ground troops.  He will do it with no war casualties, because if there are any there will be no body counts.  There will be no civilian casualties, because even if there are any they won't make the front pages.  

Where are all the people who believe nonviolent methods could have been used to negotiate with these terrorists?  Where are all the doves?
