This Was No Lone Nut, Dr Tiller's Assassination Was Orchestrated

I came across a blog today, An Email About George Tiller's Killer (Non-Obscene for the Kids). This email tears right into the claim that Mr Roeder was a psycho, acting completely on his own, without the backing of any organized group.
According to papers Roeder filed today, his possessions amount to a 16yr.-old Taurus and $10, and he only works occasionally at minimum-wage jobs. Yet he managed to finance several 400-mile round trips to Wichita from the KC area in the last month to case the church and know Dr. Tiller by sight, bought a handgun, gas and meals etc.
You see? There had to be funding. I have done plenty of long distance driving, and 400 mile trips are not free.
Somebody had to put him up to it, help him plan it and pay his expenses, and will now feed him to the sharks. Hopefully, and maybe with a bit of psych help, he will realize how he was used and name names.
We can only hope. But for now, the FBI is investigating the murder. I imagine the money trail will certainly be one of their focuses. Operation Rescue, and the other groups he was a part of, have been broiling this guy up with their hate speech directed towards Dr. Tiller. That is something that is very difficult to prove guilt in court. Funding, on the other hand, makes them an accomplice and conspirator. We will be sure to follow this one.

Hat-tip to Cody Kessler (Cody_K) for bringing this to my attention.

Coverage of the Vigil in DC to Honor Dr. George Tiller, Call to Action

On Monday, June 1st, people in DC and the surrounding areas assembled outside the White House for a vigil in honor of Dr George Tiller. Sum of Change Productions was there to document the occasion and brings us this video:



"We will not stand for cowards who resort to violence."

Dr Tiller touched many lives, and this vigil, or any, will never fully repay all that he gave to society. In most MSM outlets he is referred to as an "abortion doctor" although anyone who knows anything about him knows full well that he was far more than that. He cared for women and families, and provided them with many services, often when few others would. His assassination was "cowardice" and we shall treat it as so.

We want to take a moment to thank all the clinic workers and clinic escorts, they have lost a colleague, and our nation has lost a hero. Clinic escorts provide a valuable service. As the Washington Area Clinic Defense Task Force (WACDTF) puts it, they "ensure a peaceful and reassuring presence for patients, their companions, and staff, at several local clinics." It is a wonderful way that you personally can take action on this issue. People in the DC area can contact the WACDTF if you would like to volunteer. Others should contact your local clinic.

And do not forget, you can always contribute to the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF). The NNAF was formed in 1993. It is a "network of over 100 grassroots groups in more than 40 states that help women pay for abortion services." If you can spare, now is as important a time as ever to do so.

Lastly: Thank you Dr George Tiller for your years of service and dedication, you will be missed.

Spare Me Your "Values"

You just have to watch this video:

Sometimes I Wonder if the Pilgrims Made a Mistake Fleeing Britain

Between the universal health care and the strict gun control, sometimes I wonder if splitting from the UK was the best idea. And then there's this:
The tribunal ruled that a "heterosexuals only" policy in the adoption field of the Catholic Church in England and Wales would fall foul of the ban on discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation brought in two years ago.
Well done England. If only we could recognize the pure bigotry that is so blatant amongst our own religious "charities," let alone non-religious charities.

This decision is due to the Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations, which came into effect in 2007. Essentially, this act says what anyone with intelligence should know, that it is wrong to discriminate, on any grounds, against someone because of the person's sexual orientation. It would be beautiful, and something I know we will not see anytime soon, if the US could follow suit and pass our own act protecting the rights of homosexuals.

Redstate.com Proves Their War on Terror is Racist

Redstate.com has, on its front page, an article titled; Obama Silent on First Terror Attack Since 9/11. If you are like me, you thought, wait, how did I miss this? Rather than provide a link to their site, here's a picture of the post:
Picture 9
So, Mark Impomeni, openly admits that when it comes to fighting the war on terror, he is completely okay with being racist. White man guns someone down for the purposes of installing fear in his political and religious opponents, crime. Non-white man guns someone down for the purposes of installing fear in his political and religious opponents, terror. If they wonder why there is a perception that the far right in this country is blatantly racist, look no farther.

The assassination of Dr. George Tiller absolutely was terrorism. It is ignorant and racist to claim that it doesn't count because the suspect "is not a terrorist of the kind that the United States has been fighting since the September 11th attacks." Although he is right about one thing. We haven't been fighting this kind of terrorist since September 11th, they've been around for a lot longer.

Just disgusting.

Anti-War Groups Don't Pull an Operation Rescue

Operation Rescue's response to the murder of Dr. Tiller will surely go down as one of the most heartless responses to a tragedy.
"George Tiller was a mass-murderer. We grieve for him that he did not have time to properly prepare his soul to face God. I am more concerned that the Obama Administration will use Tiller's killing to intimidate pro-lifers into surrendering our most effective rhetoric and actions. Abortion is still murder. And we still must call abortion by its proper name; murder."
Very classy. I am sure the family is glad to hear how "concerned" you are. Just imagine if a liberal, anti-war group said the same thing about this recent tragedy (which is a complete tragedy)
"I am more concerned that the Obama Administration will use this recruiter's killing to intimidate anti-war activists into surrendering our most effective rhetoric and actions.
Michelle Malkin would have a field day with that one. And rightly so. It would be one of the most heartless responses to a tragedy.

Good thing anti-war groups are decent enough, or at least smart enough, not to say something so heartless and unnecessary.
