Conservatives like to talk about taking personal responsibility for ones actions and acknowledging that while we are free to do as we please, there are consequences we have to accept. This is a big part of their talking down to the left as if they have a Daddy Knows Best Complex. The reality is they're just trying to mask their bigoted, racist policies or make excuses for a kleptocracy they helped rise into power.

But here's the thing: On a basic, human level, they are right. People have to take some responsibility for their choices and they have to accept that there will sometimes be unacceptable (to them) consequences for their actions.

So before you start blaming Bernie "fanatics" for the actions of a lone shooter, consider that GOP conservative "fanatics" quietly repealed banking safeguards for the second time while the nations attention was diverted by the Comey testimony. The first time banking safeguards were repealed we had the bank meltdown in 2008 in which the banksters stole trillions of taxpayers money and the lives of millions were destroyed. Everyone's lives were impacted including the life of the lone shooter. No fucks given to those they committed this economic violence upon or the consequences that might befall upon these conservative fanatics. These same GOP conservative "fanatics" intend let millions die without healthcare with their new healthcare bill. No fucks given to those they will kill with this legislation or the consequences that might have upon said conservative fanatics. When these conservative fanatics gut education and gut aid to the poor, but hand out billions to Saudi Arabia and increase the military budget of a nation that already outspends the next four largest militaries in the world, they have no fucks given for the lives impacted, the economic violence they are committing or the consequences that might have upon themselves.

Well, the consequences of those actions became clear when a lone shooter made the choice to die under a hail of bullets if he could just get a few shots off at some of those conservative fanatics whose policies had so ruined his life that he sadly felt death was the better alternative. He had no fucks given if he was killed in the attempt. He was willing to accept the consequences of his actions.

It was a terrible, sad day, but before you blame Bernie supporters, you better take a big heaping dose of personal responsibility for your OWN actions and accept that if you continue to kill, destroy and betray people then days like this are the consequences of the choices you've made.

Now I'm neither supporting nor defending the actions of a lone gunman. I'm simply speaking a simple truth to power: Keep this up and people will keep popping up who want to kill you. After all, if you stole constantly from your relatives, let your uncle die without medical care, destroyed all your families lives, don't be surprised if your kids don't speak to you, your parents disown you and possibly, maybe, your spouse one day plunges a steak knife into your heart. I'm not condoning it, I'm just saying don't blame everyone else if your own heartlessness comes back to bite you.
