When a society gets as mixed up in sorting out its own identity as our culture is today, we shouldn't be surprised that some of its citizens do the immoral and criminal kinds of things that Eric Rudolph did.

This sounds more like rationalizations from the Left than clear reasoning from the Right.

If Rudolph was responsible for the Olympic bombings, which apparently he confessed to, then it suggests that he has a crazy streak, which extends to more than bombing an abortion clinic and thus trying to support life by killing people.

But on a scale of 1 to 10, he strikes me as being about in the middle, in comparison to other notorious killers. His killings were not sadistic or gratuitously vicious. Indeed as I understand it he didn't intend to kill anyone when at the abortion clinic, although when you set off a bomb you are responsible for any deaths that may occur.

Why is it that if a murderer is annointed as a "right wing extremist" he is automatically assumed to be so much worse than other murderers, including left wing extremists? Why did the FBI assign several hundred agents with helicopters and elaborate equipment to look for him for months, when there are so many worse criminals out there?

Sorry, rhetorical question. Right wing criminals deserve the death penalty. Everyone else should be let off.

"Mr. Rudolph, of course, has now formally admitted his guilt in the murderous bombings of the Olympic park in Atlanta, an abortion clinic in Birmingham, and a homosexual nightclub, also in Atlanta. He awaits formal sentencing. "

well hell, he should be punished for sure, 1 out 3 is not good as criminal records go at doing something right

I have no idea what this guy is trying to say, and neither does he.

I both agree and disagree with this article.
