Except for the fact that liberals are the ones who vote with their feelings as opposed to using rational thought. Just watch any debate if you want to see evidence of this. After a conervative debate the panel will tell you why they think ____ would make a good president. However, you turn the channel and watch a democrat debate and you see these morons saying things like "I feel like BO was talking only to me, that's why I like him".
This article is trash and nothing more. I am also not surprised that you haters liked it.

Speaking of poor logic, tanglang.
Will you try to explain how your assertion about political debates has any relationship to your conclusion about the article's worth?

ROFLMAO, Tangy you don't even realize when you post things that continue to support what everyone already knows about the righties. They need to be told who is a good candidate because they can't figure it out for themselves.

Dunny, notice that I said conservatives *think* before deciding which way to vote. Unlike the libs at the debates who feel that candidates are speaking directly to them and even though they cannot name one thing that person has done or will do, they will still support them because of their feelings.

Ummm Tangy read the part that was highlighted. ROFLMAO, the thinking seems to be already done for them since they need to be told WHO would make a good president, definetly seems like they cant figure it out for themselves and electing Dumya twice sure does offer proof in that area.

I really don't think you are following me here dunny. I never once said anything about anyone telling us who to vote for. I was using the example of the groups of voters that networks use to determine how the debate is going as it is happening. For some stupid reason you took that as me saying that we need to be told who to vote for but did not make the same conclusion about the dems who I mentioned do the same thing.

"liberals are the ones who vote with their feelings as opposed to using rational thought."
Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. In general, it is Republicans who tend to emotionalize elections and Democrats who tend to intellectualize them.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/columnist/...
"Therein lies a fundamental difference between Democrats, who tend to intellectualize elections, and Republicans, who like to emotionalize them."
In fact, Republicans often choose their candidate, not based on issues, but on who they'd rather have a beer with. That's how Bush won in 2000 and 2004.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/columnist/...
"A Zogby Poll found that 57% would rather have a beer with Bush, despite his many problems, than with Kerry."

Not true. I wouldn't care to drink with McCain. In any case, the purpose of that question wasn't to determine for whom you would vote. It was a trivial question.

You mean aside from the two sources I already cited? LOL. Where is your evidence? Oh, that's right. I forgot. It's your MO not to provide any.
This very exchange only further supports my argument. My post was accompanied by two pieces of supporting evidence (Democrats tend to intellectualize), and yours was accompanied by nothing (Republicans tend to emotionalize).
LOL.
By the way, you might want to check your facts. I didn't initially make this assertion; I was merely refuting the assertion TANGLANG initially made.
Pathetic.

"YOU calling an opinion piece a "source" to back up your claim!"
A poll conducted by Zogby -- one of the most respected polling companies in the world -- can hardly be dismissed as an "opinion piece." It's laughable you would attack my sources, particularly one as credible as Zogby, without presenting ANY evidence of your own.
LOL. How typically neocon of you.
PATHETIC.

Actually, it was a "likability" poll, not a "beer poll." The beer question was just one of the several questions posed by this poll.
Still no evidence of your own to present? LOL
How expected. "You'll have to do better than that." LOL.

Actually no. Dems are all emotion. You might want to check your facts, you were making an assertion. The candidate with whom you'd most like to have a beer poll has been duplicated again and again. It's meaningless trivia.

Ohhhhh you can read!
You're making progress.
Now try reading for meaning!
HERE'S THE MEANING:
YOU SEE McCAIN IS ELDERLY (that means over 65 years old)
THE ELDERLY CANNOT DRINK MUCH BECAUSE THEY TIRE EASILY
(no, that doesn't mean turn into rubber, it means get tired)
SO IT WAS A JOKE..
Sorry if one missed vowel throws all those with A-D-D off,
but that must be why you love Bush so much. He's your poster child for not being able to follow a conversation.
Got it now??
A joke??
Lost your sense of humor..
Sorry we can't help you!

What I find very funny is that you once again post somebody elses opinion to try and prove your point. Probably because you cannot think for yourself.
((("A Zogby Poll found that 57% would rather have a beer with Bush, despite his many problems, than with Kerry.")))
Well no sht sherlock! Kerry is a douchebag. At least W speaks his mind. I bet he's a cool guy when you get to know him. Kerry is just political arm candy for his wife.
As for the poll itself, it in no way proves anything. All it says is that more people think Bush would be more fun to drink with than Mr Potato head.

LOL.
It's laughable that you're too obtuse to realize how this very post only further proves my argument. My post was dispassionate and void of ad hominems. Instead, I simply refuted your original assertion that liberals are emotional, irrational creatures. I even provided two different pieces of documentation as counter-evidence. I was, in effect, intellectualizing the debate with dispassionate discourse and documented data.
And what do you respond with? No counter-evidence of your own. No dispassionate discourse. All you have to offer is a post filled with ad hominems. By stooping to this level, you have emotionalized the debate and have only further proved argument --
Democrats tend to intellectualize; Republicans, emotionalize. Time for you to go back to school.
Class dismissed.

Actually, you laughed them off because you knew you had ZERO counter-evidence to present. Only an undereducated fool, like yourself, would so easily dismiss a poll by an internationally-recognized polling firm like Zogby International as "crap."
LOL. Then again, facts were never your forte. It's laughable that even in the face of documented evidence you lack the intellectual capacity to muster ANYTHING that resembles a coherent, data-supported response.

I wish I could see your face as you read this, but I only voted for Bush once. In 2004! Back in 2000 I voted for the guy who LOST! Otherwise known as Al Gore. It was not until shortly after the election and my 21st birthday that I sobered up and decided to become a productive member of society as opposed to the pothead liberal dropout that I had been for so long.

It's amazing how one's eyesight can improve when being shot at.
But in the Hilldabeast's case it was all a fantasy story. It did sound good but then it wasn't true.
Maybe instead of playing fantasy football online she plays fantasy GI in her mind.
Hummmm.....I wonder if Bill knows about this; sounds sorta kinky in a psycho-subversive way.

OK. We'll keep a war hero, a preacher, and a man who's fought discrimination, poverty & social injustice for decades.
He may not have been politically correct or expedient, but many - Dems, Reps & Independents - have condemned America for many of its activities or lack thereof.
What's worse:
- Condemning the US for its past & ongoing racism, support of despots, & overthrowing of democratic governments around the world & over the years, or
- Basically condoning terrorist attacks & natural disasters on the US, costing thousands of lives, because of the US's "secularism"; calling over 50% of the electorate traitors, unpatriotic & aiding & abetting terrorists because we disagree w/this administration; etc?
McCain: I'll cave on torture because Rove told me to.

Because you dismiss everything he says simply because he's Al Gore.

You have just stated that the norm for this group is hate.
The only thing they should hate is your stupidity, but time after time they tolerate it, even though you keep coming back for more.
Your ability to reason has been gone, and pretending to be a conservative doesn't negate the PERMANENT damage that pot does to your brain.. Thanks for the explanation.
You further go on to say as "WE know them as haters" and you still don't realize that you are in a very small minority here.
WE can't play into you delusions, so just positive and negatives and THAT will tell you who the "WE" is here and who really "hates" the youth of our country so much that you still support sending them off to their early deaths and destroying their families. THAT is beyond hate, it is blind contempt... You just don't get it..Braincells gone!
NO ability to reason. Grow up, grow a conscience.
Live in the real world for a few years.

We don;t hate them, we just don't respect them enough to tell them the truth or fully honor our commitment to decent treatment... Waving a flag and singing anthems at them was what destroyed Rome..
We've already gone through 9 Generals, 4 Admirals, a Bremer
and 2 Secretaries of Defense and they're still getting blown up and have no idea what "winning is"..THAT is disrespectful
and the worst thing we can ever do to our troops.

"This is one article no one in the GOP will read."
How many of the commentators here have read this article?
So JW was in the military 47 years ago? so what?
If the fact that he meritoriously served forgives him of anything he has said since, then there is something seriously wrong with the reasoning.
The same people who cite this service as a free ride to denigrate our country from the pulpit should deify John McCain (which I don't) because of his service & imprisonment by the Viet Cong.
The Rev. Wright can swing his arms above his head as he preaches his message of hate, McCain can't lift his arm because of the torture he endured.
I don't support McCain nor Obama in their bids for the presidency & I certainly don't condone Jerimiah Wright.

I agree..For me this article points out that Obama does not
presently have the right people around him (advisors) who
are capable of having him make public declarations of clarity.
The fact that he mentioned few of the facts in this article on behalf of Rev. Wright, knowing that Rev. Wright has devoted his own life to America when others cowardly walked or ran away, makes me wonder if Obama is well suited for leadership.

The Republican have been using the pulpit to force their "holier than thou" agenda on the dumb folks down south (mostly)
for 30 years strong..
I would know, I am a former active Republican.
They have no conscience and no courage unless it involves risking the lives of someone else's kids??
By the way, how's that "Reagan brought Russia to their knees
concept going?"
They are more of a real threat now than they have been since the Cuban Missile Crisis..
Good thing we armed the Taliban against them...
OOPS!

Lordy I hate repeating myself...Bush is a private school, Yalie, fratboy cheerleader turned carpet bagger, whose family home is Kennebunkport, MAINE. All we know about Maine in Texas is that it is buried under the snow somewhere to the north of New Yawk. Never heard of cowboys from up there. Can you lasso and brand a lobster?
For the zillionth time, Bush IS NOT a cowboy!! Calling him one is a grave insult to generations of real cowboys. He is all hat and no cattle (though he does have a nice hat).

Have you listened Jeremiah Wright's sermons in their entirety? Have you listened to any of his other sermons preached over a period of roughly 30 years?
What gives you the right to judge him based on a handful of cherry picked comments and give NO weight to anything else?
Rev. Wright has said nothing more or less than many other preachers and prophets have said across the years and centuries. As usual, a true prophet is rejected and disrespected by the masses. There is a thin line between love and hate - you deem his words hateful; I deem them painfully truthful and biblical. Only history will prove one of us right.

Perhaps it is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Study_of_...
or those type of things that this country has done to the former slaves that he hates.
I think Obama has the ability to put things in perspective, unlike the shrills who keep up hate baiting.

The same sort of thing DOES happen today! For the same injury or illness, a black patient is less likely to be given pain medications than a white patient, even though white patients are MORE LIKELY to abuse or become addicted to such meds. For similar crimes and circumstances, a black person is likely to get a harsher sentence than a white person. Killing a white person is more likely to get you the death sentence than killing a black person.

You haven't provided any data on medical care. In any case, none of these examples are analygous to purposely allowing someone to live with untreated syphillis. It doesn't happen now. As for black on black crime and sentences given to blacks, those are different issues unrelated to clinical ethics.

I am a registered Republican. I read the article. And I find this article proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the racist hatred YOU PEOPLE said Wright experienced, and that YOU PEOPLE offered as an excuse for his racist hatred, is an abject frikkin lie.
THE REV. WRIGHT, HAVING PROVED HIMSELF IN A WHITE MAN'S WORLD, HAVING EARNED THE RESPECT OF WHITE SUPERIORS, STARED THAT SUCCESS IN THE EYE AND DELIBERATELY CHOSE HATE INSTEAD.
Thank you for the article. We could not have made the point better or more clear ourselves.

You are missing two critical things in your assessment:
(1) Rev. Wright succeeded in spite of the rampant racism of his time, which is a testimony to God's mercy, and the Reverend's determination and endurance.
(2) The Bible teaches that when one part of the body suffers, the entire body suffers. Rev. Wright is not a self-centered, I got mine and you get yours the best way you can kind of personality. He understands that his people and others were and are suffering under an oppressive government that hides its agression and transgressions under a facade of freedom and democracy.
We really could be what we claim to be, but we are not there yet, not by a long shot!

Number one, the OT & NT is for believers, not the secular world. Please review the alleged liberal view of separation of church and state, then get back to us.
Number two, the verses about the body suffering refers only to the body of believers, not to general nameless, faceless victims somewhere at some time who may or may not have been victims of racism and who may or may not be Christian.
Merely because a segment of the minority population chooses to wallow in victimhood does not in itself impute guilt to governmental authority. As someone has quite aptly said, "If everyone is a victim, then no one is a victim."
It's YOUR argument and sermons like Rev. Wright's that are an injustice to those who have truly, directly, and horrifically suffered the brunt of racism in this country.

''Number one, the OT & NT is for believers, not the secular world.''
thanks for the chuckle
of course it isn't for the secular world, that's why Jesus never preached to the Gentiles and sent his disciples only to other Jews. That's why there are no gideon bibles in motel rooms and no missionaries in Africa. That's why the bible isn't published very much and there aren't many around. Thank God the bible isn't for the secular world, or people would go door to door talking to secularists about it.
Guess what, as far as Christianity, the whole world was the secular world when JC came around.

I'm with the GOP and I did, who cares. Why is it only when it benefits a Dem, military records matter. I'm a vet. When Billy ran against Bush 41 (fighter bomber pilot, shot down 3 times) or Dole(Two Purple Hearts for his injuries, and the Bronze Star with combat "V" for valor for his attempt to assist a downed radio man.), didn't matter. But when Bush ran against Kerry and Gore it was a big deal, even when Bush was in the reserve. Now you see McCain (Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross), but we seem to forget that only to talk about a medic who is now a black racist.
I am confused by his 2 year hitch in the Marines. Marines sign up for 3 years. Why only 2 years, was there an Article 15?

Your response is stupid and with that kind of response we can all see that you blindly support killing more Americans when the entire rest of the world is realizing that this is neverending and stubbornly clung on to at the expense of more young Amnerican lives..
How can you sleep at night?
The only answer is that the dumb have no conscience because they don't realize what an intelligent person who uses thought should believe. Try thinking for once, instead of spending all of your time defending the bad guys. It might open up your narrow mind and make you realize what a mess we're in. THAT would be the first step to helping us solve it, instead of being a living example of why we aren't learning anything. Ariana got it, and she's a foreigner.

No, a true American doesn't blindly follow and trust an administration that has consistently hurt America's economy, world reputation, and health status.
A true American is one who always questions authority in concerns to the citizen and not the government. Our nation was founded by those who questioned authority and ethics for the benefit of the common man.
Further more, Bush has done little for AIDS policies:
http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/develop/oda...
Anyone who says Bush has benefited black people is a fool. Bush's tax cuts hurt inner city residents the most while favoring corporations. New Orleans is still a mess, with trailer shortages, insufficient reconstruction funds, not to mention it took Bush four days to even get down there, while it took him a day max to arrive in california during the fires. Bush doesn't mind black people drowning, but as soon as white people start to burn, he's there in a jiffy!

Nola is still a mess becuase a black racist runs the city. Conincidentally, that is the same reason the city was in such ruins after the hurricane.
Maybe the response in Cali was faster because the local leaders did their job and took action? Maybe they knew that since they were not able to use the race card to cover up for their shortcomings they had better take control of the situation? Maybe you should educate yourself in the matter?

I have news for you, They may have!Utopia is not real my friends, if you knew the things this government has done you would shut up and hide in the hole you came out of. A true American would want better from our government ant would call them on what they are doing wrong it's and enabler that would get ******ed if a real person stand up and say what you are doing is wrong ala Martin Luther King! Our Government does wrong, IN MY EYES IT"S NOT UN-AMERICAN TO SAY THEY ARE WRONG, HOWEVER IT IS UN-AMERICAN NOT TO SAY THAT THEY ARE.

blackacereturn:
How is Wright being an American the point? We never questioned his citizenship. Indeed, his citizenship makes his words all the worse.
We note with interest that millions of Mexicans over the past several decades have made America their adopted home. Cubans and Haitians risk their lives to get here.
If there were a shred of truth to the filth spewing from Wright's pie hole, there is and would long have been a mass exodus of blacks from this country.
Go ahead...name the country that blacks in this country would be better of living in. Then go to this web site and call the airline of your choice: http://www.tollfreeairline.com/
Don't let the door hitcha...
Of course you can always stay here and acknowledge the self-evident. As Thomas Sowell says, "Reality is not optional."

I agree Wright is as off-base on his AIDS comments as Robertson, Fallwell and their ilk are off-base on their 911, AIDS and Katrina comments.
Regarding 911, Wright never said America was 'complicit' in 911, i.e. that the administration knew it was going to happen and let it, or worse participated in it. What he was saying is that 911 was a consequence of our foreign policy.
As far as 'Patriotism' goes, perhaps you should look at McCain's voting record when it comes to caring for veterans.

Get back to us when Wright comes out of hiding to renounce his racist hatred.

Ah you know I'm proud that he served, goodonem.
However, all the good things one has done in a life can be dashed if you turn against your country.
Benedict Arnold comes to mind,,,,,,,, Politicians that have served well but then were caught in 'affairs,,,, hanging in rest rooms,,,,, hiding bribes in freezers,,,,,,,, making a joke about Strom Thurman's career.
All the good things one does can be dashed with one act, one statement, or 20 years of holding one's country in contempt and not being smart enough to know that your 'word's may well come to roost for you and those that sat idly by and didn't tell you to mind your words of hate.

I was a Navy corpsman, assigned by the Navy Dept/DOD, to the Marine corps (To note; the US Marine Corp is a very distinguished sub-group/unit of the US Navy just like the Green Berets are a very distinguished sub-group/unit of the Army.) and to my knowledge there was not a MOS for a Marine Corp medic.

A correction to ..."and to my knowledge there was not a MOS for a Marine Corp medic."
It should read... "and to my knowledge there was not a MOS for a Marine Corp recruit or USMC personnel to become a medic." To do that, the Marine would have to legally 'switch' his enlistment to the Navy and go to one of the NAVY CORPS schools.

I read the article. Serving in the military doesn't give you a pass to say anything you want, regardless of how ignorant or racist. Using that criteria, Hitler was justified in his bigoted rants, since he was a decorated WWI veteran. A man is still responsible for his conduct, regardless of his military service. If you Libs really feel this way about the value of meritorious military service, let Duke Cunningham out of prison!

Are you really pretending to know? I didn't get that from the President. Common sense indicates that anything could have crossed the open border with Syria during the time prior to U.S. control over the entire country. I guess you forgot that Saddam's own brother was captured after returning from Syria, so clearly, there was a great deal of movement across that border in the war's early days.

Common sense says that whatever may have been sent across the border, it wasn't WMDs. Only an idiot would give credence to the theory that a military leader would ship his most potent weapons off the battlefield in a fight for his life.
If a powerful foreign army was closing fast on Wahington, DC, would you send all our tactical nukes to Mexico City?

ROFLMAO, seems Dumya had 24 hour surveillance over the area, or at least what he told everyone. His prime intent on going in was to stop the proliferation of WMD and according to you Saddam managed to slip those VAST amounts that Cheney and Dumya said he had completely undetected across the border into Syria which miraculously hasn't been distributing them at all to terrorists. AND then after sending in special squads to hunt for the weapons they found NO trace of any manufacturing or storage of the weapons. SO a third rate nation cleans up toxic chemicals better then we do while facing an invasion. NOT to mention sending weap0ons he needs to fight a strategically better armed and trained force out of the country. ROFLMAO.

Discredited to only those who want it to be discredited.
When no records show his service, and when he actually admitted that his CO told him not to go but he went anyway, that's called AWOL.

Because the Bush Administration lied about the WMD that Saddam had.
Here's one from Rummy
"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."
Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. - Dick Cheney, speech to VFW National Convention, Aug. 26, 2002
We know for a fact that there are weapons there. - Ari Fleischer, press briefing, Jan. 9, 2003
But make no mistake - as I said earlier - we have high confidence that they have weapons of mass destruction. That is what this war was about and it is about. And we have high confidence it will be found. - Ari Fleischer, press briefing, April 10, 2003
That is what this war was about
That is what this war was about
That is what this war was about
That is what this war was about
That is what this war was about
WMD. And it was a lie. Hundreds of thousands have die.

OOPS! Accidently gave you a positive. But since I am here... It wouldn't have made a bit of difference which planes he knew how to fly, the reason he was in that unit in the first place was so he would not have to go to Vietnam. He did keep the skies over Texas safe from VC fighter-bombers for a year or so though, gotta give him that.

Oh yeah george the hero wanted no part of going there and actually fighting. In fact he wanted no part of the military since he needed to take time off to work on an election campaign. So maybe you can explain how being three months in Nam vs not setting foot there is somehow less respectable. ROFLMAO.

And Kerry's 3 months - apparently that's plenty of time to get wounded 3 times, pull a shipmate out of the water under fire, get 3 Purple Hearts & a few other medals, & serve with honor & distinction. Again, unlike ANYONE in this current administration.
And PLEASE show us all where this has been "discredited." No service records, no one remembering W showing up for service, & W's own admission that he left to work on a campaign against his CO's orders. That is called AWOL.

That is not an exaggeration or even a stretch, it is an outright bald faced lie. Since you obviously have never had one, or even seen one, here's a little military tidbit for ya, wounds can't be "embellished," and Purple Hearts are not awarded according to the severity of the wound.
Which mission report did YOU read after witnessing what Kerry and his crew did? Where you on another boat? Why weren't you busy helping with the fight instead of watching Kerry? How did you get your hands on a Navy mission report?
You are loopy on the kool-aid today.

I can't add much to your comments, MonkeyBiz, except this:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/kerry/service.asp
From Snopes:
Claim: John Kerry's Vietnam War service medals (a Bronze Star, a Silver Star and three Purple Hearts) were earned under "fishy" circumstances.
Status: False.
From everything I can tell & have seen over the years, Snopes is usually not wrong.

ROFLMAO, and yet he countless number of Swamp Boaters the right wing continually brought up seemed to know every mission and bullet that Kerry fired. Yet somehow were extremely fuzzy about missions they were on or were involved in. Altho it was amazing that Kerry managed to serve with ALL those Swamp Boaters. ROFLMAO.

Nonesense. Rather was fired for using forged document. That he use them in a story certainly doesn't prove anything except Dan lack of judgement.
http://www.straightdope.com/columns/030411.html
"Bush's enemies say all this proves he was a cowardly deserter. Nonsense. He was a pampered rich kid who took advantage."
That was then and this is now. Lets see Dan got fired for using forged documents in a report, and GW used forged documents to help his case for the invasion and occupation of Iraq, what happened to him?

Newsflash. Any officer who identifies someone as "not available for evaluation" with the intent of designating AWOL status, then does not initiate appropriate action against the person alleged to be AWOL, is himself derelict in his duties.

Heston was one of Reagan's biggest supporter -- in the SIXTIES when he was governor of California -- and it hurt his career. He was president of the NRA for many, many years until he stepped down when he developed Alzheimers.

Jeremiah Wright is a modern day prophet. Too bad people like Aniokly don't have the wisdom to appreciate that fact.
You would think a good old Bible toting right winger like that would buy a clue from his name "Jeremiah." Of course, that would involved the use of reasoning, something they are not acquainted with.

Best to kill a child slowly by turning aside when they're abused, when they're homeless, when they're hungry, when they have no family, when they're sick, when they aren't given the chance to be all they can be. More fun that way. Gives people someone to feel superior over when they grow up a mess.

It's a shame yours doesn't tell you that forcing an unprepared woman to give birth to a child she may then abuse or abandon is equally sinful! Forcing a woman to bear a child when she is the victim of rape and psychologically unfit to parent the child is equally sinful. Forcing a woman who's life is in jeopardy to bear a child is equally sinful because while you value the unborn's life, you devalue the life already in existence. Placing an unwanted child at the mercy of a system that gives it as much of a chance of being abused as it does of being loved is equally sinful.
I am not for abortion as a means of birth control or as a casual solution of a perceived problem, but there are times when abortion is an option to be considered.

Amazingly few abortions are the result of rape. A baseless argument. Shame on those on the Left who have worked overtime destroying the family unit and traditional morality, creating massive numbers of indigent single-parent homes. Shame on the drug-infused generation of libertines who have attacked the basis of the family unit since the 1960s and now use the end result as a justification for abortion. Shame on Obama for advocating Partial Birth "Infanticide"! The social problems that provide your illeged justification of abortion largely didn't exist prior to the destruction of the family unit, particularly the Black family, where over three-quarters of children are illegitimate.

Cushi, Unfortunately for You no Bible says that it is better to murder unborn children than to accept the gift that God has given you and raise it right.
Also, rape, incest and tubular pregnancies combined make up for less than 1% of the more than 1 million abortions that take place every year.

Actually, you are making the anti-abortion argument. That passage states:
"And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life." (Exodus 21:22-23)
So God considered the killing of an unborn baby a crime and this verse appears to cover the accidental killing of an unborn baby, not a purposeful act such as an abortion.

n2n, then perhaps you should look in the mirror -- you'd see one up close and personal.
You talk about the hatred from the right all the time, but you have judged and condemned everyone who disagrees with you -- if they are to the right of you while giving almost everyone to the left of you a free pass.
Some of the most venomous attacks and consistently nasty comments about conservatives -- always sweeping blanket statements come from your keyboard -- but, always within the terms of service, never a curse and almost always preceded by some kind of statement about how tolerant, open-minded and Christian you are.
Christians, I was taught, were supposed to be kind and not judgemental.
It has been my experience (as well as what I learned in my psych classes) that people tend to project their own feelings and motives to everyone else.
Is that what's going on with you, N2N?
