You are spot on with this one; such hypocrisy leaves me utterly speechless. Thankfully, you weren't, as this needed to be said. And needs to be repeated and sent on to anyone and everyone who will listen. Nice job - Go, Pilgrim! You are spot on with this one; such hypocrisy leaves me utterly speechless. Thankfully, you weren’t, as this needed to be said. And needs to be repeated and sent on to anyone and everyone who will listen.

Nice job -

To me it's one of those ideas that shouldn't be considered in isolation. Why? Because all ideas DO relate to each other in the real world. Therefore, we shouldn't go off in the corner and give isolated homage to any particular principles. We start acting wackily whenever we hold up any particular principle as a supreme principle, claiming that it need not, in any way, accommodate any other principles. The "war on terror" is another one of those runaway principles. Up there on its pedastal the "war on terror" has plunged us into sharp deficit spending and warped our national spending priorities. To Believers, though, the "war on terror" should have its own separate budget totally separate from any other budget priority. Double accounting books in the name of the "war on terror" "Save unborn babies at any cost, until they're born," as though no othe considerations should come into play. Beware of all principles presented as singularities! Somehow, the idea of spending great effort to protect fetuses only until they are born is an idea that works well for many people.
