You know, there are plenty of people in this world worthy of hatred: serial killers, rapists, child molesters, people who beat their spouses and children to a bloody pulp when the mood strikes. Yet these rabid idiots spend their energy spewing hate for someone whose only "crime" is to have a different life view. Of course now they've learned to include the obligatory "but" (I'm sorry for his family, kids, pet hamster). Sort of like the one they apply to the military: the war in Iraq is illegal, war crimes happen daily, prisoners tortured, women and children slaughtered in cold blood, entire villages being bombed into oblivion, BUT we support the troops. I don't know why I continue to be stunned at the lack of class. Maybe it's because I tend to believe in the inherent goodness of human beings, that every person has a chance at redemption. Well, what can one expect from a group of people who would criminalize putting an unwanted stray cat to sleep while they celebrate ripping a human baby from its mother's womb. Maybe the key to gaining the left's support for the WOT is to have the troops track down the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 12th wives of these terrorists and force them to abort their babies and use birth control. We'd prevent the next generation of jihadis while freeing women from the burden of motherhood. The troops would finally be true heroes in their eyes. Wonder what they think of the cat owner who aborts a litter of kittens.
