Statement from William K. Wolfrum: “Both sides must stop killing each other”

“My friends, during these tough political times, we have seen acts that must be condemned. From the murder of Dr. George Tiller to things that the far left has done, it is time for Americans of all persuasions to stop these horrible acts of violence and to focus on the things that we can agree upon.

As President Barack Obama so sagely noted ‘However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.’

Of course, Obama himself is often a lightning rod for controversy and bad feelings. But in regard to our president, it’s vital both sides avoid concocting plans to murder him. Because now is the time for both sides to put down their weapons and meet in an atmosphere of constructive dialogue.

This is why on issues like abortion, both sides of the aisle must resolve their issues peacefully and intellectually. And both sides must avoid murdering anyone.

We must come together as one and calmly accept that ours is a culture than constantly evolves. And both sides must resist murdering partygoers because they feel the culture has gotten out of control.

We must come together when it comes to discussing political ideologies, and do so in a mature manner. And both sides must avoid murdering entire families to prove their points.

Also, with the issue of gay marriage gaining traction, both sides must commit to not acting out violently against, or murdering gays, lesbians and transvestites.

This same line of thinking must be used when discussing the always polarizing issue of race. We find ourselves in a time where discussion can bridge the gap between races in the U.S. But these issues cannot be discussed validly unless both sides come together and promise to stop tying black men to the back of their truck and dragging him to death.

We also must not be afraid that our right to bear arms will not be taken away. There is room for discussion on this volatile issue, but that discussion cannot be held if both sides insist on murdering police officers.

My friends, we are living in a dangerous time. A time when competing ideologies threatens us all. We must all take responsibility, including those that speak out as pundits for their ideologies. It is time that pundits both left and right agreed that stoking controversy can lead to bloodshed.

More than anything, both left and right must accept their culpability. Because both sides have recklessly advocated violent behavior. And this must end. Because, in the end, both left and right could be responsible for the largest murder in U.S. history.

In the end, we Americans are in far more danger of dying at the hands of another American, rather than an anti-American terrorist. This is why both sides of the political spectrum must stop killing each other, however profound our differences.

Thank you for your time, and I have retained counsel on this matter.”
