He's sorry that he ever suggested Vick's voting rights be stripped and is apologizing for ever saying such:

I said some nasty shit the other night and I apologize to everybody here for it.
 The other night, I read for the first time the report of what Michael Vick did to those poor dogs. I stayed away from the whole case for years knowing what my reaction would be.

Cruelty to innocents whether humans or animals is an extremely hot button topic for me and after reading that report, I lost my shit. I got into some very heated arguments and in the heat of my rage, I said something really ugly and wrong. I expressed gladness that as an ex-felon, Vick has lost his right to vote.

Predictably, the shit hit the fan. My statement was almost universally condemned. I was called a fascist, a racist and several other things as well and it was all downhill from there.

The next day after I had cooled down, I re-read my statement and was horrified that I said that or even thought it. If someone else had said it, I would have joined that chorus of condemnation. But it was I who said it and it made me ashamed of myself.

Too bad they won't wring their hands and wail over the 1,000,000 babies murdered this year like they do over some dogs.

No wonder her face looks so weird.  It has probably been gnawled on by thousands of pitt bulls.

I am really torn on this issue anyway.  Parts of my family raise and breed pitt bulls (like there aren't enough in this world ).  Some come out of the womb wanting to fight and kill.  Other pups are born timid and great lap dogs.  What do you do with the ones that only want to fight and kill?  Do you kill them at birth?  Do you deny them their natural urges, and how would you go about doing that?  Just because some are man's best friend doesn't mean others aren't just as deadly and wild as wolves.  They look horrible after fighting.  You pity them.  But, in reality they would love nothing more than to shread another dog as soon as they can.  They are like serial killers.  The only way to stop them is to kill them or lock them up alone for the rest of their lives.  They can't be fixed.

You're exactly right. A long time ago, I knew a guy who years earlier had raised fighting dogs for "gameness". You should hear some of the stories about how difficult it is sometimes to breed an extremely "game" dog to an equally "game" bitch. They're far more interested in killing each other than in breeding. But whenever the subject comes up, you inevitably have a handful of dog nuts who will defend these animals, even though their overwhelming instinct is to attack and kill. Whenever a child is killed by the family pit bull, and it seemingly happens every day, the parents should be tried for murder. That timid lap dog has an inbred genetic predisposition to tear another animal apart. Every time a baby is ripped to shreds, the ignorant parents describe how loving the dog was prior to the sudden attack.

Dogs are visible.  Unborn babies are not.  Therefore, in the "educated, intelligent, tolerant, loving, diverse" minds of libs, babies don't actually exist before birth.  This also explains their fury over the idea that a pregnant mother should actually look at an ultrasound picture of her child before making the decision to abort...if you see it, it's real.  (This goes a long way to explaining why they think God is some kind of grandpa-in-the-clouds creature...you have to have an actual working mind to be able to "get" the concept of God.)  The mere fact that they consider themselves ultra-intelligent while having trouble with concepts that can be understood by the average 5 year old is one reason we have so much fun reading their postings!

A friend of mine and her husband have two pit bulls.  One was abused as a puppy, the other one had/has health issues.  They have other animals.  I think three cats, two ferrets, and I think another dog too.  Their house is a zoo.  Anyway, they are trying to conceive their first child.  They swear their pits would never harm another animal or their child.  I know that their future child is not mine, but I cannot help but me worried for that baby's well being after he/she is born.
