Listening to people like you has moved me to the left.

You are where you belong. Don't blame it on me.

Gosh, I never knew there were so many evil, fascist, murderers in the country.

How many abortions in this country in the last ten years? Now add the number of people who approve of them but have never had one. The total will tell you how many evil people there are. It's simple math, go look up the numbers on the net.

Oh, I'm not blaming you hon. I'm thanking you. Never before did I fully realize just how looney people who are absolutists really are. Now that I know, I'll do everything to distance myself from you and your kind. Before that, I listened and believed. But the more I visit these threads, the more I've changed my mind about the entire situation.

The tarbaby has really got ahold of you now, and the quicksand beakens. In the light of the morning, you might wish you had spent this evening with your grandkid. Maybe. I would like to think so.

You see, within certain limits, maturity is about realizing that folks of good conscience can have well thought out views that might differ from you, even on abortion. It is a matter of a priori beliefs. That does not mean that you should hesitate to fight for yours in the public square vigorously, but if the fight simply poisons the public square, ala the way SCOTUS has done, we ALL tend to lose.

I know, none of this makes any sense to you probably. But I felt constrained to say it.
