I love it when people post op-eds like it's some sort of relevant and fact-based social commentary.

I live in and grew up in the Bible Belt. I'm more culturally enlightened than 90% of America, I graduated with a 4.15 GPA and am carrying a 3.9 in my junior year of university.

Bottom-line, elstatec, whoever wrote the op-ed makes some very sweeping and often ridiculous claims. Bush invented the war on terror? Right. I guess the CIA flew the planes into the WTC. And bin Laden is a hologram.

I checked on that Coburn comments, all I could come up with was this:

[quote:54a97]On the death penalty, he said: "I favor the death penalty for abortionists and other people who take life."[/quote:54a97]

The context of that is that he was discussing what types of punishment should be applicable if abortion is eventually classified as murder.

That's a difficult topic, and really depends on when you think a human life is really a human life. Personally, I believe that if a fetus has a developed brain and a heart (which is does by the end of the first trimester I believe, maybe the first part of the second), it is a living human being. And hell yes, unless the mother is going to die, I think that cutting up a living, feeling human being like that is murder.

Frightened and clueless.. wtf ever. Typically British penis envy. Most of England has gotten over the ass stomping 200 years ago, this guy needs to join the 21st century.

America is pretty much going to be the dominant power in the world for awhile to come, people need to get used to it.
