I thought that it was a good start for reasonable argument - obviously you don't. If OUI magazine is considered worthy of quoting, then why not Intellectual Conservative? I have checked out the writer's credentials, and found that several articles from the site, and I believe a couple of the writer's as well, have been posted on FR - meaning that I wasn't posting from a liberal rag like The Nation or your favorite polling institute, the LA Times.


Nor was I posting from my own fevered brain, like the freeper who started a thread telling everyone how God wants them to vote.

I am pro-life, I have always been pro-life, but I can respect a pro-abort man like Rudy Giuliani far more than I can respect a pro-life man like David Bonior.

It is not ALWAYS the ONLY thing that matters.

It is never the ONLY thing that matters.

But for me it is the first test; because my experience is that those who compromise here cannot be trusted. I have no respect for any pro-abortion politician. (I have no respect for David Bonior either--he's a socialist hater of America.)

After all, this country was founded on the twin tenets of God-given life and liberty; and without life, the word liberty is meaningless.

If I've beeen too rough and tumble here and offended you, I'm sorry for that. But these are extremely serious debates that are going to affect the course of our country.

You have asked me to be reasonable, and I'm trying to be. But you also need to recognize the multitude of good points that were made here against the premise of this article. Notwithstanding the intensity and the combative nature of the debate, the vast majority of those opposing AS here are men and women of great principle and good will.

Great post! You made an excellent point about supporting a Guiliani over a Bonier regardless of their differing stances on the abortion issue.
