So, Spence...do you similarly forgive those who bomb abortion clinics? Or do you selectively apply your forgiveness, applying it only to those who threaten violence in the name of liberal causes?
Have fun with
that one!
What you are saying, Spence, is that that when someone (presumably a liberal) is sufficiently frustrated that they aren't getting their way, the use (or threat) of mass violence and terrorism, is acceptable to you.
Is that what you teach your kids? If so, good luck to anyone who dares to say "no" to your kids.
According to SPence, the Weather Underground's actions are considered, we need to conclude that a mitigating factor was thatthey were "angry".
Spence, don't you think Al Queda terrorists similarly feel that the peaceful way of getting their way isn't working for them, and that they have similarly reached a boiling point? Isn't that a prerequisite for their having declared a fatwah on anyone who doesn't believe exactly what they believe? Do you give them a pass too?
Have you no shame?
Jesus Christ...
