How am I going to be able to differentiate between you and them on the street, and in the news?

How are you going to be able to know there's a difference if the "undesirable" positions are silenced, according to whomever decides it's "undesirable"? Somehow, I think people who have a brain can differentiate the message and the messengers. That is, after all, why we each have a brain and are encouraged to independently think.

How about respecting our Founding Fathers intent of the First Amendment, and allow the issue to be debated?

Surely you don't believe that BS, or you would believe that folks with a brain would be able to differentiate between the two side of the abortion issue. You don't think they can, you think they are weak brained, and will choose Rudy's side.

That's why you shout. That's also why Code Pink shouts. You are indistinguishable from Code Pink.

Didn't you get the memo? Independent thinking is to be frowned upon. One must listen to the MSM and other propaganda machines and get in line behind the sheep. Others know what is best for you -- now quiet down and obey! ;-)

Fanantical, wacko behavior is fanatical, wacko behavior and is perceived as such, regardless of the message being promulgated.

Selling your position is more than half the battle. If pro-life activists continue to make spectacles of themselves, abortion will remain legal for a long, long, time.

What works is grass roots activism, winning new pro-life converts through education and public awareness. Then you start to activate at the local political level to create the changes necessary. All politics is local. Rally behind pro-life candidates, judges, etc. The only way to do this is to create critical mass, and operate through local organizations, and the political and judicial process.

Code pink could care less about the Iraqi people. They care much more about the right to sacrifice babies to their gods.They march feverishly fothe right, same people. This code pink was just made up to deceive the masses.

Do you think Samual Adams and the rest came across well, (nice, and sweet) when they dressed up like Indians, broke in, robbed the tea and threw it in the harbor?

Don't you think killing 4000 babies each day, over 50 million so far, 17% of our population, our tax payers, our comsumers, our arm forces, our caregivers, our crop pickers, our doctors, our scientists who might cure cancer etc is a bigger deal than taxes on tea?
