No conversation such as this is allowed on leftist boards such as DU or KOS. There is ONE opinion only. Any sort of deviation from the Party Line is preceded with profuse apologies for daring to rock the boat, if only a little.
Regardless of how anyone feels or what views are expressed about the murder of Tiller, the debate here is what is meant by Free Speech.
A few years back I took my father, he is 95 now, back to the old family homesteads in Methuen and South Lawrence. The places were not recognizable. However he just this past week received a news clipping about the shad and alewives returning to the Merrimac River near the dam in Lawrence.
To him, the river being cleaned up after years of abuse from the mills and cities promiscuous dumping was a sign of hope.
Gosh, I’m famous!
Pinging all quoted.
I did not feel out of line with my post and the Guy Killed 60,000 Babies in closing I do not feel that he or that fact should go unnoticed.

Nice post thank you.
Hope of what? We may have cleaner rivers (and indeed we do), but our politics is as disgustingly filthy as ever. It seems that is something that never gets cleaned up around here....
May God bless your Dad! Ninety-five and still capable of hope! That is truly inspiring to me.
WOW! I’m honored to have made second place on the Honor Roll part of that cruddy slobber piece over the killing of tht murderous slimeball.
Why is it so hard for pinheads like you to understand that continuing to slobber over the death of one murderer amongst the thousands who gleefully have murdered over FIFTY MILLION innocent childrem, in this country alone, since the phony lawsuit -- Roe v. Wade -- gave free licence to any such puke as may want to make a living that way, to murder children , IS NOT going to stop the slaughter?
I'm a bit more concerned for lives of the unborn children than I am about the welfare of a toothless cause which is getting nowhere after decades of sniveling, weeping, moaning and gnashing of teeth.
Never in the mad history of this sorry world has such mass slaughter been condoned by law. The law is supposed to protect people's lives and rights; not condone and encourage the wanton snuffing out of those precious gifts from God.
Don't like free speech, huh??? Looks like you had better get on over to Dimmo Underground where you belong.
I douby if you will be missed by many.
Uh, the storm trooper line was not mine.
Scary stuff!
Of course they will....if a trial lawyer doesn't beat them to it first.
And they will have a good case.
In Christianity, the hope of broadcasting our message of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection is that there will be those who hear and turn to Christ. As people of the gospel message, we DO believe that a message believed CAN change behavior.
We believe in "inciting" to salvation.
The pro-life movement is sadly mistaken if they think their security lies in denying their complicity. Their security lies in taking the offensive, and shouting from the rooftops that the right to life guaranteed in the constitution and stolen by judicial fiat is their justification for calling murder murder.
They can be weak or they can be strong. We don't know that Roeder killed for pro-life reasons, but we do know that, if it were for pro-life reasons, then he fired before the commander's instructions. He hadn't yet seen the whites of their eyes. In fact, the commander hasn't yet been found, and the troops haven't yet been assembled.
Disenfranchisement = Usurpation.
Excellent post!
Ya’ll are all girlymen.
Modrut Waldman quoted me TWICE.
I must have done good.
Methinks he is probably one of those “no one really likes abortion, but” types
he reminds me of how Vanderbilt has an atheist on it’s Divinity college staff..with his belief.net site...what does he believe in?...besides hits
The more I read about Waldman the more I realize he’s a fakir.
a lefty relativist hiding behind an interest in religion
Evidently Dr. Tiller did not resonate to that message, and willfully so. That way his chosen "behavior" could proceed unimpeded.
I do believe that "evil" has become a dirty word among Christians. We dare not name it, for fear that our lives would be made miserable if we do.
As for me, I cheer myself up by contemplating the following verses:
“They begin to depart who begin to love. Many there are who depart and not know it. For their walk of departure is a movement of the heart. And yet they depart from Babylon.”

Could be worse Much Worse We could be them; a basket case nothing in life and a firery eternity awaiting at the end.
I believe you may have either misunderstood me or missed my point. The people who came to this country came to this country legally to escape religious persecution. AFTER the Revolutionary War, this country was founded upon Christian principles of freedom. But the Revolutionary War was not fought for religious reasons. It was fought for economic reasons-no more than what Castro fought his war for. The difference was intent.
Moral relativists hold that no universal standard exists by which to assess an ethical proposition's truth. Of course there is ethical propositions of truth by which we can subscribe. That doesn't mean we should overthrow governments because it violates our ethics.
If someone want to defend murdering someone to stop a murder, that to me seems pose an "ethical dilemma" for them, now doesn't it? What is the univeral standard? Personally, I would say the universal standard is "Thou shall not murder.", period. In this case, who's the moral relativist?
