I apologize; I shouldn’t have used those words.
I just get extremely agitated when the Dems (AND, as it turns out, people like Karl Rove, who I have no use for) get served the red meat that they’re hungering for-—all the argument they need to allow the Left to use Akin’s no compromise position as proof that we , Conservatives AND Republicans,
are socially regressive, and ready to impose BY LAW their hardline views on ALL AMERICAN WOMEN. At this particular moment, it plays right into the current demagoguery of “The War on Women”, a joke if there ever was one. WHY give them anything they can use like that?

Let me guess???

You have never read or heard Todd Akin's 6 second statement in its entirety.

You have just heard what the demagogues have said about it.

Am I correct???

Thank you for having the courage to post that apology. We probably all at one time or another have used words or expressed ourselves in a manner that we later regret.

Christians are exhorted to be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves. I think in this particular case, for whatever reason, Todd was not the former. He allowed himself to get suckered into Jaco's trap question, and there are a number of ways he could have answered that would have turned the tables on Jaco.

I personally am not concerned with whether certain people think that some (or all) conservatives are socially regressive for a "hardline" position on inalienable rights such as the right to life. Inalienable is either that which cannot be rightfully abrogated or it is nothing at all. The sine qua non of those people even being able to have such an opinion about allegedly socially regressive persons is that the people holding the opinion have already been born, i.e., they weren't slaughtered by an abortionist.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
