I was talking to a friend last night about this tragedy. I mentioned the Tshirt that asks God why he let this happen in this school and the attending comment from God that He is not allowed in school. I then wondered if the school, the public even the parents would allow the surviving children the comfort of knowing that these children are now safe with and loved by, God? Will our society at least allow the kindness of knowing they are with God?

FTA: Can the gun talk; hold up on the sociological musings; button your lips on all the usual chatter when horrors occur. Maybe people spend too much time on TV programs where there´s a wrapup after half an hour and expect real life to follow that schedule.
Well done, Clarice. Some of the chatter has been grotesque. She also states that there are times when there is no easy explanation or solution. This is apparently not one of those times. LEO´s have quickly determined a clear motive. I´m hoping that their evidence doesn´t involve the extreme dislike of the public school systems (that is on this site nearly every day) or a stack of Limbaugh Letters in the corner. What do they have that they´re not telling us and why aren´t they releasing it to the media? Is the evidence so inflammatory toward/against one group that LEO´s fear revenge against like-minded individuals? One of the things that forced me to tune out for the past 36 hours was when I heard someone on TV mention that Lanza was homeschooled. As I woke this morning, made some coffee and began reading from Lucianne, this article was a good way to start the day. This is a perfect example of why this is the best site on the net. Thanks again, Clarice (and OP).

Soledad O´Brien was beyond disgusting yesterday. She pretends to care about the kids, but her opportunistic liberalism shone brightly through.

If you go to David Freddoso´s twitter feed, he has a disgusting picture of the media hounding the victim´s families. Jackals.

CNN was stomach turning. Their crass exploitation of the murdered children made MSNBC seem nearly honest.

Yes, thank you, Clarice.

Missing from Clarice´s list of what not to do is the pResident showing up to hog the spotlight and milk the tragedy for his own gain.

Forgot to add - if LEO´s are withholding info on the killer´s motive, it must be bad news for the left. If he was a right winger it would already be the only thing the media was talking about.

What is a LEO?

Thank you #9, I guess I´m old because sometimes I have trouble with the shorthand.

Clarice is right again.

Regarding the desire for a hiatus in discussing the political ramifications of this event, to conservatives, this makes sense. Most conservatives believe this is a time to reflect on God, the sacrifices of Christ, family, friends, Heaven, Hell, and the nature of good and evil. This is a time that we use the occasion to tell our children and family that we love them. We do this, because when immense tragedy strikes, we go back to our first principles. This is natural.

To the hardened Left, they naturally go back to first principles as well. However, their first principles aren´t founded in God; they´re rooted in state-serving politics. "Never let a crisis go to waste" is one of the Ten Commandments of the Left. Thus, they can´t help themselves in politicizing this event. E.g., Bloomberg´s first public statement after this event was "Ban all guns." Democrats are now scheming to use this to their political advantage. This is one of our (the Right´s) political weaknesses. While we´ve called a truce and cease-fire in politics because of the Newtown massacre, the Left is still fighting. And give them credit--they continue to win the national debate. But we will continue to do the right thing and pray for the victims´ families and friends and make donations to these communities. To many on the Left, this is our weakness; in reality, it´s our strength.

Couldn´t he just tweet his message. That would have as much emotion as him being there in person.

Will the memorial be held in a Church? Wouldn´t that just take the cake.
