It is heart breaking. Narg Send a noteboard - 07/08/2012 12:51:49 AM
It cannot be tolerated. Everybody must be free to live and worship as they please without fear of violence, even if their religion is unpopular. One of our church buildings in our area was recently (~two years ago) burned to the ground by someone angry with our position on gay marriage. It is a surprisingly disturbing feeling to learn first hand that there are people around you in your community (seemingly) that are willing to do violence against you or your property based on your beliefs, or what they suppose you believe. And arson is obviously only the tiniest fraction of what some have had to endure. My heart breaks for the Sikhs in Wisconsin and for the Muslims in Missouri, especially those that lost their lives or the lives of someone they hold dear.

"If a man say, 'I love God', and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" 1 John 4:20
A little learning is a dangerous thing.

As much as I oppose racial supremacy movements... - 07/08/2012 09:42:36 PM 550 Views
If they advocate violence, I see no problem monitoring them. - 08/08/2012 08:22:20 PM 513 Views
Government cannot surveill/infiltrate/arrest violent white supremacists: That would be racist. - 08/08/2012 08:11:24 PM 527 Views

Giffords made the allegation against Palin; feel free to tell her she was NOT subsequently shot. - 09/08/2012 01:33:50 AM 672 Views
You're seriously blaming Palin for Loughner? That's so absurdly debunked at every level *NM* - 09/08/2012 02:30:21 AM 235 Views
Again, I believe Gabrielle Giffords made that connection, about a year before it was proven valid. - 09/08/2012 02:50:10 AM 485 Views
Okay, that's bullshit - 09/08/2012 02:53:46 AM 521 Views
She suggested putting a crosshairs on her district endangered her life; that is now hard to dispute. - 09/08/2012 03:50:13 AM 474 Views
Easy to dispute. Did Loughner claim to have seen it? Did Christian Bale cause Colorado? - 09/08/2012 05:47:59 AM 456 Views
Has Loughner said much of anything? Did Christian Bale put a target on CO? - 09/08/2012 06:11:17 AM 492 Views
Do you realize how crazy you sound? - 09/08/2012 10:31:16 PM 478 Views
I love how you and rt keep calling me (and, by extension, Giffords, whom I am quoting) crazy. - 09/08/2012 11:00:35 PM 528 Views

"If the shoe fits" is precisely my point. - 10/08/2012 12:18:17 AM 588 Views
Did you lose all ability to make raitonal arguments while you were away? - 10/08/2012 01:21:08 AM 573 Views
No. - 10/08/2012 02:09:26 AM 583 Views
Yeah, you really are - 10/08/2012 02:27:25 AM 616 Views
I think the shooting in Norway unhinged him *NM* - 10/08/2012 04:17:29 AM 237 Views
It certainly seems that way - 10/08/2012 04:27:32 AM 507 Views
Does she claim now that Palin was responsible for the shooting? - 10/08/2012 04:15:50 AM 465 Views
You believe whatever fits your world view reggardless of facts - 09/08/2012 04:49:39 AM 464 Views
If you insist on blaming the victim, do it to her face. - 09/08/2012 06:09:45 AM 522 Views

I do not consider it directly responsible, no. - 10/08/2012 12:55:40 AM 645 Views
