The ends justify the means is not an argument that conservatives should be making.

This transparently idiotic homily is all too readily swallowed by those who think. Whether or not the ends are proper is the crucial test of whether the means are proper.

We constantly object to the end that results (lack of justice) through following the rules of judicial procedure, all except the most overlooked Rule 1 of the Federal rules of civil procedure - the rules are to be interpreted to result in substantial justice.

What a dentist does to you would be regarded as criminal battery were it not that we approve the end - oral health.

This is the most dangerous statement on Free Republic. It tells us to forget about where we are going as a society and just follow the process. Well that is what Alinskyites have successfully done for years.

More ad hominem.

And patently false.
