| A former Navy Seal, expert sniper and best-selling author was reportedly gunned down at a Texas shooting range Saturday by a veteran who is recovering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Ex-Navy Seal Chris Kyle, 39, and another man were shot point-blank around 3:30 p.m. at a charity event on behalf of Kyle´s security firm at the gun range at Rough Creek Lodge and Resort in Erath County. The suspect, 25-year-old Eddie Ray Routh, was arrested roughly five hours later in Lancaster, Texas after a police chase. He was driving Kyle´s truck at the time of the arrest, police said.

There is a design here, my friends. RIP, Chris, and God be with you now, and your loved ones left behind.
But there is something smelly about this. Something more is going on, and we´re all right in the middle of it.
Take our Hero out..... by the very method for which he was known, and which is currently the topic of hot debate in this country. And by another veteran. (Recall the DHS publication on domestic terrorism....) And IN TEXAS.
Same day that the WH releases a ´photo´ of their Kenyan Flycatcher Hero. Are we expected to transfer loyalties now, and realize the error of our ways? /s
Steel yourselves. There is a plan at work here......, and it is being expedited.

For the record, Chris was a SEAL...a US Navy sailor, not a Marine as Semper Fi would suggest. He was a hero´s hero. What a shame. What a waste.

Very tragic. Chris Kyle was a true American hero. I´ve yet to tell my husband, a former SEAL as well, since he´s still in bed sleeping.
None of the articles I´ve read so far have named the second victim. Apparently Kyle was working with Routh, who was suffering from PTSD.

How very sad. There is no doubt in my mind that God welcomed him with open arms for his true and faithful service.
Thank you for your service. Rest in peace. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

My only thought is check the shooter´s voting card, and when he last had contacts with leftist organizations. PTSD might have been a factor, but I would not put it past this Administration to orchestrate tragedy.
1. the abandoned at Bengahzi. 2. the hundreds dead in Mexico. 3. Almost all of the tragic school shootings were done by young men who were under the care of ´Mental Health Professionals´ who themselves tend to be hard left leaning.
I may be paranoid, but when someone IS after you, being paranoid is a survival factor.

The government wants to take weapons away from vets that suffer from PTSD. But, they also want to declare ALL vets suffer from a form of PTSD in varying degrees. Watch this play out.

I watched with great honor the TV show ´stars earn stripes´ and loved the way our service members who worked one-on-one with the ´stars´ to train them on the use and tactics of the weapons they were to use in their exercise. To see the ´stars´ go from an arrogant person to on of great humility was priceless. I would recommend viewing the show for anyone to see what our heroes do everyday!
I hope his killer gets what he deserves and these acts by or for our government does make you pause with a suspicious eye. The removal of high ranking officers and military men who disagree with the administrations views does seem strange. If I were a former military man, I would definitely be watching my back.

Kyle´s kills were (I think) all muzzies. I wonder if the publicity given his book and all may have inspired some Muslim to seek out the mentally ill Routh and persuade him to kill Kyle?

It fits right in with the current memes, guns are evil and must be taken away and military veterans are more dangerous to the nation than Al Quaeda so big Sis needs to carefully monitor them. Obviously we can´t therefore let veterans have firearms, can we? Just go back to sleep now sheeple, your government will take care of you.

I´m heart sick. And anyone who doesn´t take note of the number of SEALs killed in the last two years alone is burying their head in the sand. Something stinks.
The only plus is that this happened in Texas and I really hope Rick Perry is not the type to say it´s all confidential. We need to know what the motive was.

The solution seems easy enough: don´t allow anyone with PTSD to own, or even handle, a firearm. Treat all those crazies like the felons they are only one step away from becoming. Cold-blooded killers -- all of them.
Not only so, but it´s also easy to determine who has PTSD: obviously anyone who has ever served in the military. Add anyone who has ever applied for a concealed carry license.
We don´t need to put them all in jail. Just confiscate there cop-killer bullets and their child-murdering guns.
If they resist, perhaps they belong in a mental hospital. It´s a good thing we´ve got Obamacare...

I´m more suspicious of the media in all of this. Murders happen day in and day out all over the country and we generally never hear about them except possibly on our local news. Now we´re hearing about them all the time in the national media. I think they are pushing these stories to the forefront to help zippy in his anti-gun efforts. They are trying to scare the LIV´s into accepting gun confiscation.
RIP Chris.

Since the mass shootings at Aurora, CO, and Sandy Hook, CT, the USA has been experiencing a number of lone wolf shootings perpetrated by people with serious mental disorders who know that if they engage in criminally insane homicidal actions that the news media will instantly make them famous. Are these murders another instance of that?

With the loss of so many heroes, I can´t help but think there is something more smelly going on here, as #2 said. Maybe it´s just living in this age of fundamental transformation that has me thinking this way.
Everything is suspect. I didn´t read anything in this article that said Chris was working with Routh. I did read that Chris had started his own company dealing with security, so I don´t know why he would put a gun in the hand of someone he knew was suffering PTDS. None of this makes sense. Prayers for the family.

This was more than "PTSD". That fits their narrative of trying to disarm as man law-abiding veterans as possible. PTSD doesn´t turn you into a homicidal maniac.
I have little doubt that when all is said and done you will find that Eddie Ray Routh had far more serious issues than PTSD, look to see if there was an unsuccessful effort to have him committed, also see if he was placed on some particularly strong psych meds.

The way to prevent abortionists like convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell from occurring again is to build more Planned Parenthood clinics, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said at a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Thursday about legislation that would prevent abortion after 20 weeks nationwide. “I would urge my colleagues to think about the extent to which he, Dr. Gosnell, represented the poor quality of health care services available in poorer communities,” Nadler said at the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice hearing. “We should be working to make sure that high quality

House Speaker John A. Boehner on Thursday flatly ruled out chances of the House passing the Senate’s immigration bill, saying his chamber will debate its own bill instead. The Ohio Republican and his top lieutenants in the party issued a joint statement that seemed designed to tamp down some of the momentum behind the Senate bill, which emerged from a committee on a bipartisan 13-5 vote this week, and to stake out a House GOP position. “While we applaud the progress made by our Senate colleagues, there are numerous ways in which

During friendly questioning from Rep. Hank “I fear that Guam will capsize!” Johnson in Congress last week, Attorney General Eric Holder offered the following statement. In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy. He made that statement before the facts about the sweep on Fox News’ James Rosen were known. Since then, it’s come to light that Holder himself approved the subpoena that, among other things, named Rosen as a criminal co-conspirator.

As the saying goes, scratch a liberal and you’ll find a tyrant underneath. NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo is but the latest example. He shoved a very restrictive and ill-considered gun law through the state legislature in the dead of night. Among its flaws, the law criminalized police officers who tote firearms with magazines that hold more than seven rounds. Sheriffs around the state have objected to the law. Cuomo summoned them to the state capitol under what appears to be a false pretext, and used the meeting to threaten them into silence. Cuomo invited

What a fantastic talent liberals possess, the ability to talk out of both sides of their mouths. One side utters platitudes about campaign finance reform and the nefarious influence of money in politics, while the other whispers in the ears of oligarchs and plutocrats. One side slanders Republicans as the tools of corporate interests, while the other solicits donations from some of the largest corporations in the world. The next journalist to examine influence peddling on K Street need only walk two blocks south, to H Street.

Meanwhile, Obama still refuses to meet with any border security enforcement officers about any aspect of immigration reform. “From Justino Mora, Angie Kim and Mehdi Mahraoui, to Diana Colin and Kevin Lee,” a White House blog entry reads, “all of the stories they shared were full of hope and optimism that one day their family members and their broader communities could realize the dream of becoming citizens of a country that

But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose
