My pecking order of "life" is,
1) My family's safety.
2) My safety.
3) The safety of my friends. (Yes, I know what Jesus said, but barring a miracle, I don't have that kind of love).
4) The safety of my LIVING countrymen.
5) The life of the unborn.
Terrorists threaten all of the above. Abortion only threatens #5 in the short term. There is NO pro-life movement if al-Qaeda wins. Period.
All good points.
1-3) family safety, your safety, friends safety: Do not vote for a gun grabber.
4) Safety of your countrymen: All GOP candidates will fight the WOT with equal determination. Some have more military expertise than others. And Duncan Hunter also sees the looming threats beyond the islamo-scum.
5) Safety of the unborn: No need to pick the ONE guy in the GOP running that has consistently lobbied against the unborn.
My order:
God
The sacredness of life
Doing the right thing, even when I don’t want to (and a lot of times I don’t and lot of times I fail)
Shedding the light where I am called (being nice, responding to the call to help, trying to make something work).
The direction of my nation
The safety of my family
My safety.
That’s pretty much how I see it. Like I said, we have to see what we believe in, and order our priorities accordingly.
Your whole argument falls apart with the application of one simple fact: More than 3000 Americans are dying every single day at the hands of Rudy's ghoulish NARAL buddies. The terrorists got that many on only one day that I can think of.
"Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step over the ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! -- All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a Thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." - Abraham Lincoln
FINALLY. Someone who gets it...
