CHP Canada calls for the media to re-focus concern on the moral disaster of the Arizona massacre, rather than on the tone of any debate that preceded it. The most offensive aspect of most "news" coverage was how quickly the radical left moved to politicize the event, using it to demonize their opponents--especially Sharon Angle, who cautioned that if the Tea Party movement fails to arrest the Obama administration's repeated by-passing of the Constitution, "we might have to exercise Second Amendment solutions." That was not an incitement to participate in violence--any more than John F. Kennedy's warning that "those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable." Both statements are warnings about the dangers of failing to defend the constitutional law that makes civil society possible. Such statements are a legitimate part of vigorous political debate. The assertion that they incite irrational violence is itself irrational. The hypocrisy of the left leaning media became embarrassingly evident after they made much of the "riflescope" image that appeared on Sarah Palin's website as an indication that the Congresswoman should be defeated; but they said absolutely nothing about the fact that a radical left-wing website also had a "riflescope" image over the Congresswoman. The insightful words of Kevin DeYoung who wrote about this tragedy last week in the Aquila Report certainly put things in proper perspective: "Unfortunately, pundits shy away from explicitly personal and moral categories in precisely the moments we need them most...Whenever a public tragedy like this occurs everyone on the right and the left struggles to find some cause, and that cause is almost always outside the self... "In such a world we are no longer moral beings with the propensity for great acts of righteousness and great acts of evil. We are instead, at least when we are bad, the mere product of our circumstances, our society, our upbringing, our biochemistry, or our hurts...We are so awash in the language of disorders and dysfunction that we don't know how to talk about good and evil." What happened in Arizona was most certainly evil, and from the onset and throughout should have been covered in prayer. CHP Canada prays for God's peace and comfort to surround the families involved, for a hedge of protection around their lives and for healing and restoration for those recovering from wounds both mental and physical. We pray that God's glory be made to shine through His people amidst the darkness that threatens them.
