"It's good to have him on our side."

A self described atheist and against the death penalty?

An atheist, true. But one with a nonetheless well-developed sense of right and wrong. A lot of good people are against the death penalty. The Pope, for one.

He's also an atheist who believes abortion qualifies as a legal sin -- he's characterized Roe v Wade as being the Dred Scott of the 20th century.

I repeat: It's good to have Hentoff on our side.

Remember from our lengthy thread of last month, indeed atheists joined forces with us in support of Terri. They were horrified at the implications, too.

Michael Schiavo was never a pawn in the end game. He was the instigator. George Felos was a part of the end game but he was never the puppet master. Michael Schiavo remained the puppet master.

On the other hand if anyone is familiar with the hit movie Chicago, I can visualise George Felos in the starring lawyer role. He is just like the tap dancer in that movie. He and his cronies managed to do a lot of tap dancing as they pulled the strings of the MSM.

Michael Schiavo used the euthanasia movement to arrange the killing of his wife. The euthanasia movement, represented by Felos, Greer, Cranford and others used Terri Schiavo as their ticket to fame and a new legal nightmare.

On our side? Well yes, anyone, be they Christian, atheist
Jewish, Muslim, Wicca is by me welcome if they oppose this
issue.
And I simply do not understand, not one bit, why there
aren't many more with Hentoff's background on the right
side here. I would have thought his views would be
theirs as a matter of course. Maybe someone here can
explain it to me.
