I sort of preferred the nickname "waffle" for the first one.

Looks like another liberal, very delayed "late term abortion".

I'm beginning to rethink my position on abortion -- especially if it is limited to adult liberal imbeciles..

This is a dupe:

Note to protesters: Bullhorns don't stop bulldozers, and gravity always wins.

Someone should come up with a Murphy's laws of peace protests.

any particular reason the first (and now second) post of this story was yanked ?

if because some of us aren't wailing and gnashing teeth because the guy took a dive,
it's a pretty damned lame excuse.

i don't bitch about y'all very often, but i'll say the same thing here that i said in a FReepmail
to someone who prolly believes their heart's in a superior place in comparison to mine,
but who is, i believe, actually rather naive:

there is little, if any, difference betweeen the seditious scum that fell off the bridge,
or that marched past us in DC last saturday in support of our enemies,
and the rags who rattled off 47s and yodeled as our citizens were forced to jump out of the 98th floor of the WTC.
