James Dobson: We elected the wrong presidetn and allow abortion, so: I am going to give you my honest opinion: I think we have turned our back on the Scripture and on God Almighty and I think he has allowed judgment to fall upon us.
William J. Murray: Without the authority of God, there are no morals, and none are taught in the public schools today. The ethics that are taught are situational, perhaps the same situational ethics that led to the logic that caused the tragic shootings in Newtown.
Gary DeMar: The problem is, our current culture through the educational system is telling young people that they are animals, in some cases, less than animals. So genetically we are no different (really) from a worm, a bug, or a dandelion.
Mike Huckabee: We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools. Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?
Bryan Fischer: I think God would say to us, Hey, Id be glad to protect your children, but youve got to invite me back into your world first. Im not gonna go where Im not wanted; I am a gentleman.
On the less ardently god-walloping side of the right wing, though, theyre offering secular solutions. Mad, dangerous, unworkable solutions.
Louie Gohmert: I wish to God she [the principal] had had an m-4 in her office, locked up so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out and takes him out and takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids
Ann Coulter: Only one policy has ever been shown to deter mass murder: concealed-carry laws.
Megan McArdle: Id also like us to encourage people to gang rush shooters, rather than following their instincts to hide; if we drilled it into young people that the correct thing to do is for everyone to instantly run at the guy with the gun, these sorts of mass shootings would be less deadly, because even a guy with a very powerful weapon can be brought down by 8-12 unarmed bodies piling on him at once.
Myers continues his blog with the following poem he came across. Might want to have a vomit bag handy.William J.

twas 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heavens gate.
their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
they were filled with such joy, they didnt know what to say.
they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
where are we? asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
this is heaven. declared a small boy. were spending Christmas at Gods house.
when what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus face.
and as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, Ill take care of mom and dad.
then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
Let My power and presence re-enter this land!
may this country be delivered from the hands of fools
Im taking back my nation. Im taking back my schools!
then He and the children stood up without a sound.
come now my children, let me show you around.
excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
and i heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT.
Note: I've quoted extensively from Myers because he encourages people to share his blog.when 20 beautiful children stormed through heavens gate.
