What would you have people do? Rudi seems to care less about this. That's not quite true. He's in favor of it.
There was a time when Christ, Himself, became less than "gentlemanly" in His displeasure with sin. It concerned the moneychangers at the temple. And his anger was fast and furious. If callous disregard concerning infanticide cannot justify severe displeasure with a politician, what can?
What would you have people do.....when it appears that the immorality of infanticide falls on deaf ears?
Oh, come on. You act like the be-all and end-all of the pro-life movement is two dudes trailing Rudy Giuliani at campaign stops.
You and I know there are many ways that we who care about this issue are trying, and have been trying for 35 years, to “celebrate life.”
Not every thing that comes into someone’s head is going to be helpful. All I am saying is, “let’s ask ourselves, honestly, if this is helpful or not?”
My view is that it is not. As I have posted elsewhere, I think the MSM will take this and make Rudy out to be a hero in some quarters. Does that help us? No. So why do it when there are a zillion things we can be doing that are helpful?
Yes, people can keep on Rudy about his record, including his support by abortion. This is a must. What is not a “must” is keeping on him in a way that gives him a sympathetic storyline in the MSM.
I’m all for “severe displeasure” with a politician when it is warranted, but don’t play the Jesus card here, please. If you do, explain why, after 35 years and many vicious pro-abortion candidates in this very race, it’s suddenly a holy requirement to protest Rudy Giuliani in such a way that you hand sound and vid bites to our political opponents on a silver platter.
Please don’t act as though these dudes, and their apologists here, are Sir Thomas Moore or something.
They protested in support of a good cause in a dumb way (politically speaking). That’s all.
