Calling Good, Bad and Bad, Good

The Washington Times reported that he had performed over 60,000 abortions, most of them late term, when he was gunned down in his church-his name was Dr. Tiller. A few hours after Tiller’s death, the White House sent out a press release, underscoring what a loss he was to the country. Two days later, a young man probably awoke, used the bathroom, showered, and shaved; he then probably checked his uniform, probably by using a cigarette lighter to burn off any thread stragglers and gave his Patton leather shoes the once over before donning the uniform. That young man went out to help recruit young men and women to serve in this nation’s armed forces when he was gunned down-his name was Pvt. William Long-some three days later, at the behest of conservative talk radio, the White House issued a press release akin to that of Dr. Tiller’s. No one is asking for equity in reporting the news, but this disparity was even more egregious in the press where Tiller was and is paraded as the hero doctor--but you’ll be hard pressed to hear or rea d the same about Pvt. Long. Concerning Tiller, you’ll also hear that he was murdered by a fanatic, which is true, but the media have done their best to down play that Long’s killer travelled to Yemen, where he was indoctrinated in hatred, came back and murdered Pvt. Long. We are told that Long was murdered because of America’s alleged murders of Muslims around the world. I know many a Muslim enclaves: Brooklyn, New York, Patterson, New Jersey, and Detroit, Michigan, where there is peace like a valley. There is a part of me that feels no sorrow for Dr. Tiller, but there is another part which is the spirit of Christ in me, and alas, that latter part of me takes precedence in how I live my life. I am also reminded that Dr. Tiller had a wife and children and no matter how sickening I thought his medical practice was, I must have respect for his loved ones left behind. I sincerely thank Pvt. Long for his service to his country and my condolences to his family. In the Book of Isaiah, the prophet warned us that the time will come when we will call “good,” bad, and “bad,” good; the time is nigh….
