Racism against those who are Jews. The shooting yesterday.

Wake up, America. Guns kill people. Racists and religious bigots with guns kill people. The Religious Right will be blaming liberalism, atheism and secularism and the lack of prayer in public schools by this morning, if they have not started already. But this tragedy did not come about because of liberal ideals. We can’t know Cross’ motivations until he says anything, if he says anything at all. But it isn’t difficult to see a connection between a white supremacist killing Jews and the nonstop hate parade coming from Tea Party and Religious Right sources (often indistinguishable). The surprise is not that there have been shootings and deaths. The surprise is that there have not been more of them.

3/11 I am in Juneau, AK. I will be heading to the lower 48 in June. I have been able to hike over ice to Mendenhall Glacier until today 3/27/11. It was 45 degrees and the ice is getting flaky. Climate Change is real!
