I agree. Nearly all people I've met who claim to be secularist, humanists, atheists or agnostics in fact despise Judeo-Christian culture.

I say the destruction of offensive displays is an expression of our freedom to not have to listen to opinions we disapprove. I was infuriated. The crosses were intimidating.

Apparently the professor's Constitutional right not to be offended was violated.

Mind boggling, isn't it? I guess "saving" the life of the mother AND sperm donor far exceeds any child's right to exist... sick, sicker, sickest!

It would be true if the alternative of the birth of the child would be the death of the parents. However, if life is at risk, only the mother's life is at risk.

It's an example of one of those arguments where one side isn't able to really put forth a good argument, so they start shouting. They hope to replace logic with volume.

Shalom.

I guess they are saying the prospective "mama" & "papa"
can get back to their sex life without worrying about baby.

Remarkable about Jacobsen's vandalistic exploits is that she has been suspended from her job, and she and her minions are being prosecuted. University leaders usually look the other way.

Whoa!

That sat me straight up in my chair and I had to reread it to make sure of what it was saying!

Are we at the edge of a sea change?

I believe we are. We are seeing more court decisions FOR public displays of religious things - etc...But I fear that many conservatives haven't the patience to hang in there and help keep this momentum going.

If we don't hang in as a group and see that the libTards don't get control again - we will see it all go downhill fast - all gained ground will be retaken and then they will make sure we never get our foot in the door again/

"She then incited her students to join her in exercising their constitutional free destruction rights"

What are "destruction rights"? I have a basic knowledge of the Constitution and I don't remember seeing anything in the Bill of Rights about "the right to destroy other people's property." And besides, we have the right to petition, speech, assembly, and the press so we can protest PEACEFULLY. What she did was not protesting. When a mob is incited to destroy other people's property, that's called a RIOT. (She isn't French, is she?)

One small hole in the argument: vampires are known to recede at the sight of crucifix

One bigger hole: vampires aren't real--except for Count Chocula.

[GSlob]

Why, I've personally bagged two, but silver bullets are $$$ nowadays.

I think this sums it up pretty much... "Abortion is the pagan sacrifice of an innocent virgin child for the sins of the mother and father."

Abortion saves nothing, no lives, souls, or morals... let alone any adults.

"Buffy Summers, pick up the white courtesy phone."

You called?

[Das Outsider]

This woman is a professor?

She said she was infuriated by the display, which she saw as intimidating and a "slap in the face" to women who might be making "the agonizing and very private decision to have an abortion" ...

She isn't a professor of logic, as that statement is begging the question and loaded with deliberately charged language.

Pulling up the crosses was similar to citizens taking down Nazi displays on Fountain Square, she said.

So pulling up crosses in memory of a class of people whom society has not deemed worthy of life is similar to taking down displays dedicated to man who is infamous for condemning an entire class of people deemed by society to be unworthy of life? Not a history professor, either.

"Any violence perpetrated against that silly display was minor compared to how I felt when I saw it. Some of my students felt the same way, just outraged," Jacobsen said.

Because in the end, it's all about how you feel.

[Frank Sheed]

This whole attitude is so "yesterday." When you're losing the war, throw a snit. The kids have taken over.

I agree. Let's start with Darwin fish, rainbow decals, and weathered Kerry/Edwards '04 stickers.

She might not go for that.

The ones who get the most agitated and emotionally destabilized are usually bitter troubled women who have had abortions. The anger and hysteria gets directed at
pro-life activists (and, as in this case, displays like crosses).
As St. Paul put it we wrestle with "powers and principalities."

And how...

Thank you for articulating my thoughts so accurately. Bingo.

It means if the couples involved had to actually get married and raise their children instead of killing them, their hedonistic lives of endless self indulgence would be over.

"And how" And how, indeed.

Some are truly evil obsessed, and a few are possessed.

You need to get out more.

Of course the myths are morality tales. But the rulers who inspired them actually did plant forests of human beings on top of stakes and lay entire provinces waste, out of little more than their own love of cruelty. Calling that a taste for human blood is perfectly accurate poetry.
