The hyenas descended on Littleton, seemingly before the final shots were fired. A host of politicians in both parties eagerly positioned themselves to partake of the carrion. President Clinton introduced sweeping new gun control legislation one week later, blamed Republicans and visited the surviving Columbine students on the one month anniversary of the shooting. Current Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan instantly blamed the shooting on the Hollywood entertainment industry. Republican candidate Steve Forbes blamed moral relativism.
Many religious leaders have blood on their faces, as they also gorged on the killings.
The Christian alpha hyena seems to be Franklin Graham, son of revered evangelist Billy Graham. Franklin was to deliver the eulogy. Alas, Franklin, in his remarks, was unable to resist taking a bite out of the carcass. It is time for this nation to recognize that when we empty the public schools of the moral teachings and the standards of a Holy God, they are indeed very dangerous places. Franklin Graham was granted the soapbox during an emotional public time of grief, and with the above-quoted political jab abused the privilege.
