Now look what you did! You made me quote Reagan.
As for Tiller, he's one of less than a dozen abortionists killed since Roe v Wade, by people who believe they are murdering babies. The Pro-Life groups are to be commended for their restraint. And of course, you are part of the Left, who claims the exclusive right to write the narrative, so our moral majority religious fanatics are identical to atheists & anti-religious potheads like Jared Loughner and Timothy McVeigh. Hey, you want to look at left vs. right violence, until Kennedy was shot by a communist, ONLY Republican presidents had ever been assassinated.
And what about the Weather Underground? Granted, they didn't get to kill all those servicemen, but only because they screwed up and set off their bomb prematurely. If there is a disparity in favor of liberals when it comes to political violence, it is probably due to the greater likelihood of ineptitude and pusillanimity on their part. But wait! The WU blast damaged leftwing actor Dustin Hoffman's home, so that counts as violence against a liberal, and thus is attributable to the conservatives! Damn! Foiled again!
George Tiller and Gabrielle Giffords come to mind; I suppose Matthew Shephard does not count since he was "only" savagely beaten and left in the middle of nowhere to die of exposure, not shot.
When pro life groups feel obliged to disavow vigilante murder of people on their "wanted" posters, things have gotten out of hand. The best to be said is it is not as bad as when people blew up churches with kids inside, even as the GOP devised the Southern Strategy to RECRUIT VOTES from them.
Votes are votes. The Southern Strategy is another myth, since the switch was well underway in Eisenhower's elections, and I don't know how you can condemn a man for appealing to the Southern vote, and turning around and implementing affirmative action (not to mention getting just about every black minister's endorsement over JFK in 1960). Those BASTARDS! How dare they screw over and betray their racist redneck base! Republicans KEEP campaign promises and they are pandering to special interests. Break campaign promises and they still get all the blame for them. As for Tiller, he's one of less than a dozen abortionists killed since Roe v Wade, by people who believe they are murdering babies. The Pro-Life groups are to be commended for their restraint. And of course, you are part of the Left, who claims the exclusive right to write the narrative, so our moral majority religious fanatics are identical to atheists & anti-religious potheads like Jared Loughner and Timothy McVeigh. Hey, you want to look at left vs. right violence, until Kennedy was shot by a communist, ONLY Republican presidents had ever been assassinated. Cannoli can proclaim "self defense" all he likes, but unless the Unabomber is released from prison I know of no liberal murderers in the US to concern him. Granted, some conservatives define "defense" broadly, as with people who murder abortion doctors "in defense of the unborn," but I obviously reject that definition. It is pathetic; in the US, conservatives killing liberals just over abortion almost certainly outnumber liberals killing conservatives over ANYTHING. The century of (usually Democratic) conservatives lynching people dwarfs the Unabomber by orders of magnitude. It disturbs and alarms me when conservatives respond by saying I cannot complain, let alone demand any law enforcement prevent such things, because "yeah, but, the Unabomber...."
And Loughner, and McVeigh, and the guy who 9-11ed the IRS building, and the Fort Hood guy, and the teacher who shot up a faculty meeting... Then there are the hoaxes like Tawana Brawley and the Duke lacrosse team. If you subscribe to that bullshit formulation that equates Sarah Palin with Gifford's shooting (and how about the fact that everyone is going on and on about the wounded liberal who is, by every report, every time you turn around, recovering splendidly, but no one really seems to give a damn about the Republican-appointed judge who was killed that day - conservative victims get no press, while liberals' comparatively lesser victimization is widely promulgated), Al Sharpton & his ilk are far more guilty on the incitement-to-violence standings.And what about the Weather Underground? Granted, they didn't get to kill all those servicemen, but only because they screwed up and set off their bomb prematurely. If there is a disparity in favor of liberals when it comes to political violence, it is probably due to the greater likelihood of ineptitude and pusillanimity on their part. But wait!

I have no problem sweeping up Unabombers along with nazis, klansmen and other perpetrators of political violence. However, there is a great difference between one guy in a wilderness shack and the governor of the nations second largest state chiding a presidential primary rally for not "do[ing]" things to the "treasonous" Fed Chair like Republicans in his state would. For that matter, it is rather ridiculous for anyone to endorse secession at a press conference then accuse someone else of treason a year later.
So infidelity is okay if you plan to get divorced, or are legally hindered from an advantageous separation? If treason is acceptable to a would-be secessionist, there is no motive for secession! It is precisely because they take things like the law and treason seriously that drives secessionists - they recognize lawful obligations and wish to be free of them. Maybe we DO need a new law: If you or your spouse has public supported seceding from the United States, you cannot be president of it.
America, love it or leave it! The new slogan of the Left.
