Poignant piece. I hope and pray that we can somehow find that grace that you speak of again. However, with this administration in place, our work is definitely cut out for us.

Pray, and pray some more.

Thank you for your kind remarks. Such horrific and heartbreaking tragedies for these families. We can only pray for them.

You are correct about pbho. He is a Mugabe clone. He acts like a procurer who just scored his first kilo of blow, because he could afford it. The G20 will bring out what an empty suit he really is to the detriment of our nation.

Some sad times that we live in. Many dangerous people here in the US and thugs celebrated this cop killers death. My father works at a prison as a chaplain, and has some very interesting stories. He says you'd be surprised at those who are looking for something, yet have never found it, such as the love and forgiveness of Christ, and those who are evil. Too bad our president wants to release terrorists into our country. I can see more and more innocent people dying because of this moron in chief, and his liberal cohorts.

Policemen always see the dregs of society on a moment to moment basis. The phrase, "Police Brutality" was no doubt invented by the left. I tend to believe in the Good Guys. I also believe in Bad Seeds, those among us who just cannot adapt to normal behavior and turn into vicious thugs and murderers, even of their own families. Terrorists also fit into this category and now they are entitled to be supported by the US taxpayers. No thanks to you, pbho.(

God bless your father for the good work he is doing as a Chaplain, Eric. Thank you for reading this depressing post. My emotions are running very high right now. These are hard events to absorb.

Hi Dawn

I had the local news on last night for 6 minutes. In that time, I can not tell you how many murders were stuffed into this time window. It was sad.

I see there are auto workers fighting now.

I was standing in line at the bank last week and a lady was on her cell phone bagging on AIG. She was saying they should all be fired and burn in h*ll. WTH is happening to us?

And yesterday with all that happened. And those police officers and that group propping the killer up as a hero. How did this happen?

Thoughtful and clearly personal piece that reflects some of my sentiments perfectly. You have a wonderful gift.

I guess I see our base problem as lack of restraint. The inability/refusal to regulate one's own emotions and actions is hitting pathological proportions, IMHO.

Thanx so much for sharing and paying a lovely tribute to those who have had their lives snuffed out needlessly. (My husband person is retired law enforcement and would tell you, "it was my job.") As for the elderly people, the *$%@ who did this should forfeit his own life.

Hi, Sue!

Thanks for your comments, girlfriend. I am so sad and cannot comprehend what is happening to all of us. This tragic loss of innocent lives. The violence is not just south of the border, is it. I fear the worst is yet to come. People desperate to support their families subject themselves and maybe their children to a dangerous course. But pbho sure has his.

I love your blog because your posts always make me smile and bring out the beast in me! Thank you for being here, dear friend!

Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, Davecat. Our prayers and faith are the only tools we have to defeat this intrinsic evil. I believe that good will ultimately prevail.

Mrs. AL

What an unbelievable breakdown of civilization that is lying before us, Mrs. AL. Your husband is a very brave and humble man to have served his community honorably and accepted all responsibilities as just part of his job. I am so troubled by what may be coming next. People are desperate and I worry most about the children. I tend to be very emotional and at 59 years of age, I should just take a deep breath and relax. Thank you for your kind remarks and words of support, Mrs. AL. And thank you for being here for me at this time.

How low can we go ?

Seems lately not only are we sinking to lowest lows in society, but at breakneck speed.

What has troubled me lately is the swift downfall of morals and responsibility.

Was talking with some gun shop owners last week...there was talk of the need of some good ole fashioned justice.

God will show His children the grace and mercy He promises.

Good post and comments, God Bless you in Mexico, dawndawn.

Hi, Jennifer!

It is hard to fathom that we are not yet at the lowest depths of our civilization. The Romans in the Forum vs the Christians, except this time it is blatant evil against the innocents. I am very morose here but there is a root cause of this terror against our humanity: Apathy and greed. Prayer, faith and belief in the higher and wiser power, God, are our only weapons. Thank you for your visit and your thoughtful comments, Jennifer. I always enjoy your blog with your very clever videos and graphics. You are a beacon!

Hi, Boaz!

pbho is now off on his European adventure with over 500 people! People are broke and starving, they are all whining about global warming and he takes 45 SUVs or whatever in his five planes to show off. Thanks for stopping in, Boaz. I needed to get angry again and thinking about that tool gets my blood righteously boiling!

gosh thanks for the cheery...

It`s Too True, Darv!

Cheeky Monkey No Very Cheeky or Cheery, Darvin!!! A most very depressing post, I know. But, unfortunately, it is all too true. Violence is everywhere. Both sides of the border. I live in Mexico so I am compelled to say that! Satire hardly works anymore with this pbho "thang" and 500 of his crew, dripping off AF1, styling on the gov`t dime, all on a great Euro adventure.

I just watched again the movie, "Angela`s Ashes". Everybody in Ireland was on the dole and miserable as Hell .... Open the door and let us out!

Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste....

I am afraid that O'Vomit and his band of thieves will use these events to further their goal of gun confiscation.

Sgt. Stryker and I agree. Pray unceasingly.

It will get worse before it gets better. When I never leave the house before "strapping" on a pistol, I know times are tough. (I use to only do it during times of unrest, the Ice Storm of 1994 in NW Mississippi or my time on the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Katrina.)

And like Rhett, I wish I could go to "Charleston" to find what is left of "beauty, grace and dignity".

Hi, Gray Ghost!

You are right on target about pbho and his crew trying to disarm Americans. The new system of tracking ammo, also. Here in Mexico, gun ownership is controlled. Goes back to the Revolution. Viva, Zapata! Many campesinos do have them and if they get caught, they will go to prison. Of course, all the narcos have AK47s, etc. When laws are outlawed, ....

There is no doubt you have more than a little bit of Rhett Butler in you, Gray Ghost!

These things are the logical end result of the policies the liberals have been forcing on the nation for the last 50 or 60 years. In a nation where self-esteem is more important than actual achievement, stupidity is celebrated and glorified, and moral relativism rules the day, there can be little doubt that this is the end result.

I guess the best we can do is to do our best to keep our little corner of the world safe and sane.

Hi Dawn

Glad I can humor you!

Where is my country? I am so tired of seeing Michelle and her clothes on this trip. Is there really nothing else going on? And the MSM needs a sippy cup for all of their drool.

It's Funny But Sad

If private citizens dispense justice where liberal Judges won't is called vigilantism. When some scum liberal judge lets a killer, a rapist or a child molester off, it's called justice. Just more proof that the whole systems is way out of wack to the left.

Stay Cheeky Dawn!

great piece

All of these stories seem to happen nearly on a daily basis. If you look hard enough, I bet each day you will find something worse than you saw the previous day. Given the time we live in and being at the door of the great Tribulation Period, I have been preparing myself not to be shocked at what I'm going to see. When that time comes, no matter how well I have prepared myself not to be shocked, I still will be shocked at what I'll see. This is the time when the love of many has waxed cold. When people are without natural affection, they are capable of anything. Know the Word and use that to grow what inner peace we all have. Wonderful post dawndawn. Got a new post up :)

Hi, Jim!

Sadly, I believe these actions are a harbinger of what will come. pbho is such a holeass and in love with himself and power. And AF1. And the limo .... What is happening in our country is unprecidented and is spreading. People are angry and desperate. There have been many stories of vigilante justice. I often find myself agreeing with their lawless actions. Their anger is righteous!

Hope the computer is up and running and all is well!

I am gagging over the Michelle stuff. They did compare her to Jackie the other day. Oh my gosh, have you seen some of her clothes? WTH!

Working on a new post now, but keep getting side tracked with the cat that is climbing the walls!

All the tragedy that happened today and yesterday. Gosh, what the heck is happening to us?

Hey, Mind!

When we are not shocked by the horrific actions of the absolute blatant insanity of whackos, then we will all obamatrons .... Hurl and barf. The country is suffering from a fev-ah and it ain`t more "hopenchange". It seems to be AK47s, kevlar vests and a shoot-out with the police. God bless them.

My prayers are for all the children and the challenges they are about to face with their indoctrination of "feeling guilty to breathe" and the debt they will have to pay off. Think last scene, "Dr. Zhivago", fade to black ....
