Greg Cunningham is the stuff that legends are made of...he's a damn soldier in the army of God!
He walked away from a job as a U.S Attorney to do the work he's doing.
Thanks Greg!!!

While is understand you point, I had some buddies ( along time ago) whom you would not want to slap awake....not on your life.
My first M1911 was purchased through the NRA/CMP when I was 18. I don't remember the exact price, put it was something ourageous, something like $35.
Damn, I envy that deal! Mine cost me 400 before the new barrel, but as soon as I saw it I turned into the worst negotiator possible - I KNEW I was going to buy it. CMP was kind enough to supply me with an M-1 a couple months ago. Springfield, Nov '44. Of course that cost me as much as the 1911, so my wife is wondering what the next WWII ordnance is going to be.

We used to break our M1s down, put them in laundry bags, carry them off campus and go hunting (after installing a firing pin).
I have a couple of Springfield M1s in my gun safe. They are by babies.
The medical channels on TV show disgusting procedures regularly. Facelifts, for example, are horrifying. They never show anything to do with abortion.
It took years of effort to get permission for the GAP to have a display at the University of British Columbia, yet that school had a training camp for RUCKUS, the anti-capitalist disruptors. No problem!!
Bump for Greg Cunningham--"Soldier of God!"
"When armor-plated cars are outlawed, only outlaws will have armor-plated cars." Obviously. They don't want Al Capone to have an impregnable rolling fortress.
And, as we all know, <sarcasm>laws are effective against outlaws.</sarcasm>
I had the same initial reaction. Then I thought of those LA bank robbers in body armor who held off an entire SWAT team for the better part of a day.
Same principle. And a reasonable principle. But poorly applied. I don't think we have to worry about these folks robbing a bank.
Please keep a lookout for articles in the "mainstream press" regarding the convoy campaign and post them here when you find them.
It's obvious that the press is strategically blacking-out this story.
"Violence against pro-lifers is under-reported because a lot of pro-life activists just don't think the police will do anything about it," explained Cunningham, "and frequently they won't do anything about it. It's harder to get district attorneys to prosecute it and it's harder to get judges to find people guilty for it or penalize them significantly. [Yet] a bogus allegation of an assault against a pro-abort is likely to land a pro-lifer in jail."
Amazing how some absolutey hate the truth.
Two comments.
A. A good deal of the article was taken up speaking about this very issue. Did you read the article? If so, why not react to the answer Cunningham gives, rather than ignore it?
B. Internet polls are not an accurate portrayal of public opinion.
How is it meddling to express an opinion? I think people need to be uncomfortable with what happens to the "product of conception" as pro-aborts like to call a pre-born child. Look, Cunningham isn't out blocking clinics, he isn't shooting doctors, in fact, he rejects the use of violence. He is merely excercising his right of free speech. Even if you disagree, as you obviously do, with both his message and the way he delivers it, will you not defend, nevertheless, his right to free speech?
There are a lot of ironies surrounding the abortion debate-- the same people willing to interfere with everyone else's unborn children will fight to the death any interference by anyone else in their relationships with their own, living children, while the people who defend forever anyone's right to an abortion at any time for any reason, will also support every kind and degree of state interference with parents and living children. Go figure. Makes no sense to me, but I have long since stopped expecting sense out of either side in the abortion debate.
The pro-life people lose me when they insist that there is NEVER a reason for abortion, that no human value trumps the right of the fetus to be born. Doctors can diagnose with absolute certainty at least one condition that I know of that is not treatable and certain to result in death within days if not hours of birth-- hydro-encephaly (water on the brain); it can be diagnosed in the 4th or 5th month. But, even this does not warrant abortion for the hard-line pro-lifers; instead, the woman is sentenced to carry this doomed baby for months and then to watch it die. This is humane? This is what God wants? I don't think so. I could give other examples of this insanity, but I'm sure you've heard them already.
On the other hand, the pro-choicers insist that there is NEVER a time or condition under which abortion should be disallowed-- five seconds before natural childbirth begins the horrible "partial birth abortion" procedure should be available to the mother. For them, absolutely no human value trumps the mother's right to be as stupid or venal as she wishes.
I see little true morality or goodness in the positions of fanatics on either side. And, unfortunately, until the fanatics are willing to move more to the center, most Americans will tune them out, in fact, tune out the entire issue. I have no problem with this article, or the trucks and their pictures, though I do think that they make an already emotionally laden debate more so. What the abortion debate really needs, in my opinion, is less passion and more reason, but I don't expect to live long enough to see that, and I'm a fairly young woman.
It is odd that some pro life advocates would think that this message, however grotesque and shocking, would have any effect whatsoever on the choice crowd. I mean, would pro life change its mind if choicers started a media campaign intended to shock and bring attention to their point of view?
No.
This is a feel-good way to do nothing about stopping abortions.
