Loughner isn't a liberal either

Over the past few days conservatives have been rightly outraged by some in the media who are trying to associate Jared Lee Loughner with the “right.” Now Slate is reporting that a Tea Party organization has sent out a fund-raising letter calling Loughner a liberal.

Sigh.

I just don’t get it. The man is so nuts that even conspiracy theorists think he is insane. Can’t we all just agree that he is a crazy man and stop trying to apply any particular political label? Why are we so obsessed that the answer “he did it because he is nuts” is just not enough for us?

Jared Lee Loughner is not a liberal, socialist, conservative, libertarian, or anything else with any coherent philosophy. He is simply insane.

First;

He was a nut.

Second;

He was a drug addict.

Third;

He had access to weapons that he shouldn't have.

I have a bone to pick with the largely left groups in Canada who want to decriminalize or even legalize street drugs. While guns are a problem drug abuse as far as I am concerned is a bigger one.
