We probably don’t agree that the late-term abortionist is just as bad as the 2 people in the previous sentence. Not that he needs killing… but then again, neither do viable fetuses that have to be poked in the head with a pair of scissors to make sure they’re successfully prevented from taking that first breath. But that’s another topic.

I’ve never understood why those pro-abortion are almost always against the death penalty for adults who commit mass murder. I don’t see how they square those two things.

But back to your prior paragraph… I’m glad we finally agree, totally, on that.

At least we agree on something. There’s hope!

And, importantly, I’m still a huge David Perkins fan.

Reverend Wiley Drake, in Buena Park, California, also openly prayed for the death of Dr. George Tiller, and implored his congregation to do the same. When one of his whacked-out followers finally took the hint and shot Dr. Tiller dead, while he was praying in his church, Reverend Drake hailed it as God’s answer to his prayers. Murder in the name of God is religious terrorism, no matter who your god is. When someone finally takes a shot at President Obama, Reverend Drake will get to publicly rejoice but, legally, his hands will be clean. I fail to see any difference between Reverend Drake and the Ayatollah Khomeini, except their god.

A person of faith who is willing to bomb a women’s clinic in the name of his god is no less a terrorist than the men who flew airplanes into the World Trade Center. It’s only a matter of scale and technology. They all believe they are right, and that their god will reward them for what they have done.

If you, again, somehow manage to interpret this as a slam against Christians, then I am a poor communicator indeed. Or you are a poor listener.

I do agree with Nick Calvert that I’d never heard of any prayer groups in America praying for the President to die. That’s disgusting.

However, it’s hyperbolic to compare them, apples to apples, with Muslim radical ministers calling for a death fatwa against Americans. It’s not the same, at all. As bad as it is to pray for someone to die, it’s something else to order that death to be carried out by a loyal church member as an act of Godliness, as the Muslim radicals do. I saw a video of a fine young American yelling and gurgling on his own blood as a religious Muslim radical slit his throat and then proceeded to cut his head completely off in the name of Allah. Don’t tell me that’s no worse than some yo-yo radical rogue Baptist praying for the President to get cancer. There is a difference. Both are bad, but for Christ’s sake, there’s no comparison, David.

That’s like Nancy Pelosi saying she’s going to drain the swamp and get rid of the culture of corruption in Washington, and then having her Head of the House Ways and Means Committee committing multiple tax fraud, failing to report more than half his income for a number of years, and her refusal to even mention it.

There are right wing hypocrites and left wing hypocrites, but you guys are doing your fair share in that department.

As for the ministers praying for Obama to die… I hope they get their ignorant asses run over my a stray bookmobile. And you can quote me on that.

I’ve never said that I was, or thought you should be, embarrassed to be a Texan. I’m embarrassed that they are Texans.

And, by the way, I’m taking Nexium. So my hyperbolic reflex is well under control.

Don’t tread on me.

Let’s be friends and talk about something about which we both soundly agree!

How bout them Cowboys?

If you’re never embarrassed by the acts of others, I envy you. I think. But, since you’re so fond of little homespun analogies, let me pose one for you.

Let’s suppose that you and your entire family are invited to meet someone that all of you truly respect and admire. We can even go back in time, and say that you’ve all been invited to a reception at the White House to personally meet Ronald Reagan. You get all dressed up in your best western suit, you get some new boots, and you head to the executive mansion for your audience with the great communicator.

Everything’s going just great. You’re enjoying your schmooze with the president, and he likes you and you like him, but suddenly your brother walks over to the buffet and takes a leak in the punch bowl. To your disbelief, he’s peeing in the presidential punch right in full view of everyone, even the gipper. Now, if you’re not embarrassed by the actions of your brother, you have an astounding ability to detach yourself from your surroundings, and I don’t know if that’s admirable, or sad. But one thing it is for sure, is unusual.

My point is this; those yahoos on the capitol steps in Austin are pissing in the punch bowl, and they should embarrass any Texan who finds that kind of behavior reprehensible.

I just chose to ignore it.

Don’t be upset if I take a diverse route, segue or not, to whatever is on my mind… I have a bad case of A.D.D. and claim immunity under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
