Wow. I just found out I am banned from Kevin's weblog. That's pretty funny. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. What a crock of shit. Thanks for the tip Brian

You know what? Thanks for the reality check. I did cross a big, bright line with that sick fantasy there.
The thing about people like Coulter is, they put poisonous ideas out and people buy them. They're not right, they're not intellectually supportable, and the people that promulgate them are absolutely unaccountable for the suffering they cause. So if I entertain a desire to visit the violence on them that they've had a part of visiting on others I guess I'm playing An Eye For An Eye.
I'd rather not be blind.
Even more important, Rob, is that never in a million years could I find it in my person to do anything that sociopathic to ANYONE, not even Osama bin Laden. However crazy or misguided or ruthless or hateful any of these people are, they are just as much god's children (that phrase coming from an atheist is really weird, but there's an explanation...) as am I.
I think torture is WRONG. For the U.S. Army, for me, for her, for you, Kev, EVERYONE. Without exception, unless it's to get information to prevent far greater suffering from the people potentially responsible for it, i.e., finding the terrorists responsible for a pending attack and torturing them to get the info to stop it.
My comments regarding Ms. Coulter come from a place of EXTREME frustration at anyone's inability to publicly point out how horribly wrong her ideas are. I would never really torture her, or anyone else, nor do I want to. I would probably puke.
I'm just really angry to find out that 59 million people think it's okay that that unthinking idiot who hasn't worked an honest day in his life and wouldn't know a rent payment if he fell over it spent the last four years unmaking the things about this country that, for me, make it worth loving. He's made obvious mistakes and completely refuses to admit them. They gave him implicit permission to keep right on doing it. Flying a flag upside down Thursday would NOT have been overly dramatic. It really wouldn't.
You haven't been around me lately. I'm not nearly the person half my shit-talking would lead you to believe. I've never been in a physical fight since puberty, and I don't plan on changing that any time soon.
Fair enough. Have you ever read her? She's not as bad as Limbaugh. Some of her follow through is totally off of the mark, but there are things she says that are spot on. She does participate in the same line of black and white thinking that the left is pushing on Air America. I try to stay objective, except where Spooner is concerned, then I'm just trying not to puke.
