Two states, Vermont and Minnesota practice "Restorative Justice". That means that you must be nice to people that rape children. Typically a liberal practice.

Ayman al_Zawahri sez "Bush is a butcher and a failure", as do the two K's from Massatwoshits , Teddy and John.

Abortion is murder. No matter what your party affiliation, there is no other way to see it. Please try to justify it. Those who try to convince talk about "my Body" without considering that other defensless little "my body". That's very selfish.

As I see it, legislation to outlaw abortion just would not work as did not liquor prohibition. There are some reasonable restrictions that could be instituted. Limit to first trimester, parental notification and others.

The conservative way is to stress personal responsibility and to deal with issues rather than personalities.

Has anyone seen a Support Our Troops license plate yet? While registering the purchase of my 1998 Ford Ranger (made in St. Paul) at Maplewood City Hall, Mayor Diana Longrie suggested adding the new plates. The cost is $30 each year and the money goes to the families of our troops. Money well spent. That was three weeks ago and I have yet to see another one. Let's get with it.

With a feeling of great pride, I pointed it out to a liberal friend and his comment was "you're just trying to support that eff'n Bush." I call that typical.
