"Oh, if Sheehan's mum had only known how flawed that fetus was, she might have used a coat hanger to save the universe."
One caveat to your contradiction of saying you are against abortion then for it if it involved people with whom you take disagreement is you indirectly wish the non-birth of her son.
Is his serving in the U.S. Armed forces so revolting to you you would wish the death of his lineage?
Do you think all your ancestors are by virtue having resulted in the likes of you pure as the driven snow and most definitely worth having had waste oxygen?
You would disrespect the important issue involving the brutal and senseless murder of the unborn to lightheartedly use them as a vehicle to attack your political adversary?
You are a disgrace to your profession sir, and not doing so well representing the human species either.
I believe most profoundly in what the French philosopher Voltaire said:"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
I would never wish you be silenced regardless of how badly I do not concur with you, but you wish for an America where the prevailing mindset is one where you die should you disagree with what is said in lollipop land.
You are beneath contempt. I feel sorry for you.
"Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out... and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man" - with his mouth. ~Mark Twain

My all-time favorite writer. I was amazed a few months back when I found a collection of his short works on animals and man that had been published, evidently, for college literary criticism in the 1960s. According to the intro and the commentary between stories, it turns out that from the 1920s to the late 50s or early 60s, Twain was considered a trash writer, overly sentimental and even, according to some, unable to accurately represent a regional dialect.
This is, of course, nonsense. If anything, Twain was overly cynical, if that is possible in the modern world, and his use of dialect is unmatched. He had studied it to the point that characters from different COUNTIES spoke differently.
At the time he wrote the above and much more like it, it was incredibly unpopular with the Victorians, which is why he didn't allow books like Letters from the Earth to be published until after his death.
He was an original thinker with great imagination and beautiful way with words--and a jaundiced eye about the way those in power think and retain power.
