There are not always equal sides to every issue. The very
nature of Conservatives and Liberals is a perfect example. The extreme versions
are of violent, militant absolutism vs. wishy-washy peaceniks.
Which is why I find it amusing when Conservatives try to
proclaim Liberals to be just as violent whenever defending against some act of
right-wing violence. Somehow, I don’t view dousing yourself in patchouli oil
and breaking into labs at night to free animals quite as violent as attempting
to assassinate people.
My friend Mark posted this link on Facebook regarding the
attempted assassination of Representative Kathy Giffords. A short thread of
responses follow. I’m also going to include my two fairly short Facebook rants
about the same subject in this blogpost because I don’t feel it necessary to
spread this topic out any further.
The names have been changed to protect the innocent and the
guilty – and all the shady characters in between.
Enjoy…
