That means that according to this bishop, over 4 out of every 5 Americans is evil. Is there something wrong with this picture, perhaps?

Evil is a very strong word. The deed (abortion) is evil. What this means is that 4 out of every 5 Americans have been lied to, and are subsequently deluded and blinded to the truth.

Maybe so, but they resent such intolerance so much that an awful lot of them voted for the Democrats yesterday despite their fondness for President Bush's fiscal conservatism. We needed over 60 Republican Senators to be able to get past a fillibuster, and we missed it by a LONGSHOT. Meanwhile our biggest state (which could have been a real media ally) remains in Democrat control. Like Maryland and Georgia, California might have made the shift if it hadn't been for the staunch pro-life stance of Simon. I really do believe that if the "choice" issue were completely removed from the Republican platform, we'd get far more new votes from presently Democrat fiscally conservative social moderates, than we'd lose from the scripture invoking community. If the latter opted to rally behind Pat Buchanan again, as an Independent (so's not to tarnish the GOP), I would wager that they'd get no argument from most Republicans (who would enjoy significant electoral gains in the aftermath).
