\"\"<\/a>Comedian and former Saturday Night Live<\/em> star Victoria Jackson<\/strong> is a Christian and a vocal right-wing activist. While the country was reacting to the horrific murders of 26 people in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday (a figure which included 20 kindergarteners), Jackson chose to focus on anger instead of compassion. She went on Facebook to rant<\/a> about what she saw as the real cause of the shootings \u2013 not a troubled young man, but a country who doesn\u2019t love God enough:<\/p>\n

My friend Jim Riley posted: \u2018Wasn\u2019t the Connecticut killer just doing what abortionists do every day? It\u2019s a wonder we don\u2019t have more 20-year-old \u2018dads\u2019 doing what women and doctors have been an accomplice to for years in America. When you forget the TEN COMMANDMENTS, people, THIS is what you get. Obama dramatically wiped a tear as he said, \u2018The majority of those who died today were children \u2013 beautiful little kids\u2026They had their entire lives ahead of them\u2026\u201d YEAH OBAMA. SAME AS THE MILLION BABIES YOU HAD ABORTED THIS YEAR. ARE YOU CRYING FOR THEM?! \u2026 Thanks a lot Christians, for not showing up.
