Are fundamentalist parents creating future terrorists for Christ?

The Smirking Chimp

Well, this is just stupid. There’s a world of difference between the sort of mild civil disobedience perpetrated by a few of the protesters outside Terri Schiavo’s hospice and terrorism.

This article posted on The Smirking Chimp web site is a reprint of an Associated Press special by Allan G. Breed, by the way, not something written by the owners of Smirking Chimp.

See, this kind of thing — comparing mild civil disobedience and terrorism — is actually a disservice to the cause of protecting civil liberties. You can’t be true to the principles of free speech and freedom of religion if you’re going to go all hysterical about fundamentalist parents.

This just pisses me off. Someone should track down Allan G. Breed and slap him.

I’m kidding! I’m kidding! Jeez…
