Perfect example of splitting
The news out of Knoxville isn't good. This is what happens when an unfortunate man becomes so powerless and disenfranchised that he seeks a solution to his anguish by striking out at others as if they were to blame for his failures. We all know these folks he injured and killed were not responsible for his plight. As the title suggests, this black-and-white world view is called splitting.
In general, how would you attack something so nebulous as "the Liberal Movement"? What embodies such a thing? Now, the church he entered was a Unitarian Universalist church, which seems to be a rather liberal institution, but of course none of those folks actually prevented him from getting a job. No one person or group did. I hate suggesting it, but I think he may have fallen under the misguided influence of certain "conservative" radio commentators, who seem to see an ung-dly liberal bogie man in everything. Wow, us liberals are more powerful than we thought.
Ironic that our administration for the past 8 years has billed iteself as "compassionately conservative," and yet this man sought to blame liberals for his problems? Methinks he's confused. Of course, since he opened fire in a church and killed two people, his abundant confusion would seem self-evident.
Man, it sucks being under the bootheels of an unfeeling economy as aided and abetted by an elitist "conservative" government whose only accomplishment has been to put us in this situation, then blame others for their own incompetence. Brillant.
