Never Let A Crisis…

One of the things I don’t think I’ll ever get used to is the shameless tendency of the Left to try and exploit a tragedy. Timothy McVeigh? Oh, he was an extreme right-winger — Rush Limbaugh must’ve driven him to it! Paul Wellstone dies? For Paul Wellstone — let’s take the fight to the GOP, and take back Congress! 9/11? Bush should’ve seen it coming! No — scratch that — he was the one who did it: that’s right, 9/11 was an inside job! Katrina? It’s Bush’s fault — Dick Cheney blew up the levees, and “George Bush doesn’t

Dude, militant atheists were the cause for the vast majority of the genocides of the past century… (and if you include Hitler as well, with his pagan-influenced philosophy, then it would be the overwhelming majority). I shouldn’t even begin to list Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and other proud atheists. Otherwise, you’re spot on about Santorum (although I think he is less extreme

(A brief note: Faithful Camp Campaign followers may have noticed the clash another writer here seems to want to initiate with yours truly.

Instead, in any conflict of opinion here, I've made it a point to invoke the facts as I see them—including, but not limited to, an article of my own regarding Rick Santorum, and the beginning of my last article—so as to challenge arguments on those grounds, rather than engage in dismissive name-calling. Let the readers read both. To

Wow. Three Santorum articles in a row, and we were even graced with a cameo appearance from our resident propagandist, Eric M. Blake in the comments during the last one.
