I look forward to the John Ransom post every Sunday. Thanks!
1. Hate crime. When you can show me how those not classified as hate crimes might be love crimes, then I’ll buy it. As far as I’m concerned every murder is a hate crime and no one, victim or perp, should have any special status.
2. Lincoln, 0vomit, and Constitutionality. “It’s ok for 0vomit to circumvent the Constitution because Lincoln did it.” I am no historian. Neither am I an expert on the Constitution, but I see several serious flaws in this argument. First of all, whether or not Lincoln did something wrong has no bearing on whether or not 0vomit should. But more importantly, it is clear that Lincoln was a man of conscience who acted on principle. It is clear that 0vomit is a petty man with no conscience who acts only to satisfy his own desires for pleasure, riches, fame, power, and vengeance. Quite a difference in motivation.
