Give it up. I used to get involved with these threads myself. There simply is no reasoning with the zealots.

They cannot see the similarities between their heroes and Al-Qaeda. No matter what the facts or circumstances, the discussion will ALWAYS degenerate to Bible-banging and fetus-waving rhetoric, all of whichh give our Leftist enemies fine bright paint with which to smear the rest of us.

I swear, the two most damaging factions (one, really) of FR, and the conservative movement itself, are the Creationists and the radical prolifers. Both make us all look like fanatical nutcases.

Best just to ignore them. You sure as Hell never will convince them.

Amen.

They should quit yakking, create a media event in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood and self-immolate in a suicide-in like that Buddhist monk did in Bangkok in the 60s.

That'll send a message. I'll be the first to say ... "wow, that takes balls."

They'd bypass that "Thou shall not kill" heavenly disqualifier too.
